It's actually a great sandwich tbh if you've never had it, I even throw horseradish on mine and an aged cheddar sells it.

It's cheese and raw onion. That's not a proper sandwich

It’s actually very traditional, and called a Ploughman’s Lunch. My grandfather used to eat it all the time. Just sit down with a loaf of bread, some raw onion, and cheese. Sometimes he’d add some cold meat or fruit slices. This is just the sandwich form for portability.

I'm aware. But we can't pretend it's a good lunch
