Making the Ploughman's Lunch for the first time was surprisingly easy, and I felt quite confident assembling the ingredients. It turned out delicious, with the combination of the cheese, bread, and apple being a perfect match.
The mature cheddar cheese really elevates the Ploughman's Lunch with its rich and sharp flavor, perfectly complemented by the crunch of the crusty bread and the sweetness of the apple. It's a simple yet satisfying combination that hits all the right notes.
