For the type of meal, see Ploughman's lunch.

The Ploughman's Lunch is a 1983 "issues" film written by Ian McEwan and directed by Richard Eyre. Its subtext, according to the BFI, is "the way countries and people re-write their own history to suit the needs of the present"; the film's title is a metaphor for the rewriting said to have occurred in the aftermath of the Falklands War.
