My search for the Perfect Ploughman's continues - and today I have come to The Cake House, a beautiful tea room in rural Dorset.
It certainly look value for money, but will it be tasty?
And seeing as it's called The Cake House, we have to try some cakes too !

@amberdy12 2 месяца назад

Ten times better than the last ploughmans you reviewed. Pork pie is a common addition round here and probably Wensleydale rather than Brie

@GreenoEats 2 месяца назад

That's the second vote for Wensleydale, and I'd have to concur. Lends itself really well to sweet flavours like the apple

@GaryG1974 27 дней назад

This is far nicer than the one at the Ship Inn. I love the addition of the Brie; not all Brie is French, there have been some new ones coming out of Devon recently, they be needing to call it "Brie style" if not Brie, but you would struggle to taste the difference. I still think your homemade one is unbeatable. The cakes looked amazing. I am a real lover of Bakewell pies and tarts; although you can keep the cherry, and the fact that it has a very thick layer of marzipan is a real divider of people, because although I love it, I can understand those that do not.

@GreenoEats 27 дней назад

I’m normally not much of a lover of cake, but there’s just something about a Bakewell that I can’t describe. Almost excessively sweet isn’t it, but in a good way. We see a lot of Cornish brie around, and generally speaking I have been impressed with it.

@mamasinger49 2 месяца назад

I would pay 9 pound just to sit out there, so beautiful. That food was a bargain. Those deserts would cost 7-10 euro in Dublin so less than 4 pound is amazing.

@5714sqd 2 месяца назад

I remember as a young man the campaign to eat more cheese. This would have been in the early fifties. The Milk Marketing board came up with advertizing for ploughmans lunches. It was bread, cheese and butter. These had just come off rationing so the idea was sound. Many pubs offered this along with a pint of best. I can't remember seeing salad or tomatoes on the plate, but I did occasionally come across pork pie, especcially in the Midlands. The cheese was also regional and not just cheddar.

@GreenoEats 2 месяца назад

Yeah, some people claim that it was the Milk Marketing Board who invented the Ploughmans, but my understanding is just that the re-popularised it. Back in the day when pubs didn't really have much of a food offering this would have been a simple meal they could offer with a foaming pint as you say - delicious!

@5714sqd 2 месяца назад

@GreenoEats The MMB used the lunch as a prop in an advertising campaign. I'm pretty sure they didn't come up with that name, but it was clever of them to get folks eating cheese again. It was rationed until 1954, along with meat. I know my mother was upset when I joined the RAF in 53, not because of joining but the loss of one ration book in the household, lol.

@lizg5574 2 месяца назад

If you were to mix the brie with the cheddar, the colour, texture and taste would be almost identical to traditional home made farmhouse cheese - and that's what a ploughman would've eaten out in the field. The flavour of farmhouse cheese (made from raw milk, for family consumption) was often tinged with that of cider, as the wheels would be wrapped in cheesecloth that was then doused with cider to help preserve it. Many was the year when, at Christmas, Dad would be given a small wheel of farmhouse cheese by a grateful farmer (he was an agricultural engineer) and we would eat hunks of it each day! When I say a small wheel ... it would easily have been 20lbs!

@GreenoEats 2 месяца назад

Wow, I do like cheese at Christmas, but I think I might struggle to get through that much ! A while back I visited the Bath Cheese Company (not for a video, just for a day out) and they had cheeses that they make which sound similar to what you describe - a softer cheese washed in cider.

@lizg5574 2 месяца назад

@@GreenoEats There 6 cheese eaters in my immediate family, then over Christmas at any one time, there might be another 20! So that wheel lasted until February if we were careful! Granddad always got a share to take home, and he'd eat it every evening before bed! Dad was always generous in sharing, so much so that one year he accidentally gave away almost the whole thing! He made sure never to be quite that kind again!

Brie, French Dressing and not Branston should not be allowed on a Ploughmans. It should be cheddar cheese ( preferably made in Somerset) some Branston pickle, a pickled onion ( pickled in the UK, and made from Uk onions and Malt vinegar that has been brewed and the malt grown in the UK) some proper bread and some scrumpy made from 100% UK apples ( preferably grown in Somerset fermented in the UK (preferably in Somerset). What you have had there was a Ploughman's Style lunch containing non Uk ingredients! Sorry if that sounds harsh but a PLOUGHMAN'S is what a person who ploughed used to eat for lunch! Brie and French dressing where not part of it.

Food doesn't have to be complicated or full of process to be tasty. Also not true about the marketers. They took a traditional old meal and indeed did market it post rationing as a way to sell more cheese. What meals mean English cuisine to you that you prefer?
