Just the good people of the Blur Boar Pub doing god’s work, steadily battling shrinkflation one cob at a time. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/leicester-pub-goes-viral-gargantuan-9596401
"A Leicester city centre pub has gone viral online on account of its humongous cheese and onion cobs. The manager of The Blue Boar pub on Millstone Lane, Jo Kearley, said they get comments “every single day” on their gargantuan size, but admits that they can’t now start making them smaller. She said: “We don’t want to be labelled with the whole ‘shrinkflation’ thing. Our sort-of saying is that we aren’t ‘just a cob shop’, we also sell beer.”
that looks amazing, imma make one tonight
Came here to say this!
i’m a liar and I didn’t make the sammich. I forgot this was the plan and I got rum instead.
Understandable. Can’t argue either way. I’m over 50, both choices might kill me and I completely approve.
But with red onion.
omfg I forgot that I was gonna do this and I didn’t go the the heb
also, red onion is good, yellow onion is good, white onion is good, all different but all good.
Onion a little thick but fine I’ll give you that but the cheese??? Good Lord man!
Cheese isn’t even good when it gets that thick. It takes on an unpleasant texture. And in a sandwich like that it would be ruinous to the bread. You would at least have to slice it thinner and layer it.
Is there a reason they couldn’t heat any of that up?
Blitz Blackout?
Use the heat from the burning rumble outside? I swear I worry about that lot.
They probably don’t have an oven. It’s a pub.
They dont have ovens in pub? Like They don’t serve food?
It’s where you go to drink. They might have some pork scratchings or crisps behind the bar. Pubs with kitchens are a fairly recent phenomenon.
Where’s the pickle?!
I’m an USAian and that was my first thought too! “Put some branston on that and it’d be an alright lunch.” Seriously though, at least put some mayo on there or something, my mouth is dry just looking at it.
That’s the surprise
A question for the ages… Or is it?
This picture disgusts me so much that I desperately wish I could never see it again.
I see nothing wrong with this.
Oi u wot m8
Jus a sammich, innit?
Slap in some mayo and it looks like a pretty decent lunch. 🤷
What, no mustard? ☹️
Ya man, a bit of mustard and I’d crush this sandwich
Well as long as we’re yucking other people’s yum…
People will mock this and then eat some peanut butter 🤢
Alright. You got me.
What uhh… Whatcha got against peanut butter?
Don’t try to normalize this abomination. The preparation is as bad as the ingredients.
If this was prepared properly and with a more sane amount of onion this would be totally fine to me. I like me some raw onions sprinkled over food, adds a little zest. Definitely not a centimeter thick slice tho.
People really think Blitz-era Brits were so decadent? Look at how much cheese is on there! That’s enough to give an elephant nightmares. And that’s like half an onion!
Besides, London rats are a meal all in themselves. No need for fancy cheese and onion cobs when you can go to the bins behind your local and get a wriggling, squeaking meal washed down with some fresh bin juice for free.
bruh
Looks drier than Ben Shaprio’s wife. Jesus Christ, man… Couldn’t you lube it up with some condiments or something? This criminal act you call a sandwich should come with a choking hazard label.
I’m absolutely going to steal and search for a reason to use that first line
How’s the weather where you are?
Lately? Drier than Ben Shapiro’s wife!
Appreciate the attempt but technically in a rainforest
…what’s a desert climate like, tho?
As dry as ben Shapiro’s wife!

It is you who do not see…
The onion is the lube, the onion is life.
The concept of putting condiments into sandwiches so that they’re not dry AF hasn’t made it to large parts of Europe.
We use butter. It also helps that our bread isn’t absolutely disgusting.
Still dry AF dude. Europe is good at many things, sandwhiches aren’t one of them. Just take the L.
I absolutely love a good ploughman’s and the lack of effort in this one feels like a personal insult towards me
The worst part of the sandwich is how much butter they put on the bread .
My ancestors trail recipes are more varied than this, and half of them are just normal foods with chili poured over it. Why are you like this England actual cavemen had more varried foods, at least chop up the onion a bit more and grill the whole thing.
