The Ploughman's Lunch (now known as the PML)is the best known, least understood and possibly most important pub lunch that exists in Britain today. Read the book and you'll discover exactly why. But the strange thing is that, until now, nobody really knew what a PML was. The Definitive Ploughman's Lunch has changed all that.
Based on research covering dozens of pubs in the UK's pleasant counties of Devon and Cornwall and, in the process, uncovering little known historical information crucial to avid aficionados of the PML, Keith Faulkner brings you all you ever wanted to know about this famous pub-grub favourite. Want to know what's actually in a PML? Interested in locating thirty pubs in Devon and Cornwall that serve fine PMLs? Anxious to see their PMLs exactly as they are served, in full living colour? Fascinated by how PMLs can actually be graded, measured and categorised using the soon-to-be-universally-well-known Ploughometer? You have come to the right place.

"The Definitive Ploughman's Lunch" It is extremely difficult these days to be the first person to do anything, but, with this book I believe Keith Faulkner has achieved it. This is a fascinating and entertaining review of a gastronomic oddity, the PML. It whets the appetite (literally) for more and, having read this book, I can guarantee that you will never look at a Ploughman's Lunch in the same way again. Indeed, when in a pub around mid-day, it will be hard not to either order one, or peer closely at someone else's....!
