Hi Detroit! We’re adding a new sandwich to our menu!
The Ploughman’s Lunch is an English dish consisting mainly of cheese, bread and sweet pickles or chutney. Ham and hard-boiled eggs are also often involved. While cheese, bread and chutney were commonly eaten together in England throughout the ages, the name “Ploughman’s Lunch” was first introduced in England in the 1950′s by The Cheese Board as a marketing vehicle for cheese which had recently been de-rationed. There’s some random trivia for you! Our sandwich version of this lunch is J and M Farm’s smoked ham, Oliver Farm’s organic provolone cheese and house-made sweet mustard pickles on an Avalon bun, as always served with fries or salad.
The sweet mustard pickles really make the sandwich. They were made back in August using Grown in Detroit cucumbers, and is my most very favorite of all my mother’s pickle recipes. Granted, this is the wrong time of year to be giving you a pickle recipe, but dedicated picklers can thank me later!
mix in a saucepan:
Add the cucumbers and simmer until easily pierced with a fork. Pack in jars and cover with the syrup, seal while still hot.
Enjoy!

Up in Canada (or technically “down” in Canada if you’re coming from Detroit) Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving the 2nd Monday of October to give thanks at the end of a bountiful season. This is done by sacrificing a moose or other small animal to our non-denominational God of Harvest, Tim Horton. While we will not be performing the entire ceremony this weekend as it can only be done on Canadian soil, we WILL be serving our version of a Thanksgiving feast!.
In many aspects Canadian Thanksgiving is quite similar to American Thanksgiving, except we do not celebrate Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving, we celebrate it the day after Christmas and call it Boxing Day. True story …the more you know…
Help us celebrate our first Canadian Thanksgiving in America, this weekend with a Thanksgiving Brunch! We will be serving a Turkey Benny, Pumpkin Pie Tarts, Cranberry Scones and of course the traditional Thanksgiving Poutine.
We’ll be celebrating Saturday Oct 6 and Sunday Oct 7 9am to 3pm
