The old country

As we were leaving Stonehenge we were given our box lunch.

How strange to me to see that a disgusting sandwich my father used to eat is apparently a British staple (which I'd actually heard mentioned on some movie or TV show)... a Ploughman's (???). I remember cringing when he'd eat cheddar, sweet pickles and jelly on bread...

Who knew poor people in the southern US held on to so much heritage from the old country!
