Cornersmith's Ploughman's Plate

Grainy mustards are nice and bite, but if you have dijon mustard or a hot mustard, use that instead. Mustard pickles and Piccalilli are also delicious on a Ploughman's plate so make a batch or grab some at the shops.

We changed our ploughman plates often. All cured meats work well, even some smoked fish would be lovely. You can change the cheese, although hard cheeses are my preference here, Add hard boiled eggs, wedges of cucumbers, or fresh tomatoes. A little dish of marmalade or homemade jam would be very yummy with the cheese and bread.

Use the best tasting apple you can find! A pink lady, a fuji or a Kanzai apple would be delicious. If apples aren't in season use persimmons, red grapes, figs or plums instead.
