If it tastes good, who cares?
If you're going to somewhere you think is wanky and giving them your money anyway why at that point not at least try something different?
it's not even that wanky anyway
Noma is wanky, that's pretty standard restaurant food.
Yeah, I didn't think it was that wanky. Unless the only restaurants you ever go to just do meat and chips.
Steak was amazing so it doesn’t matter.
Did you take any pictures? For giggles.
I got a load of grief on Wednesday for asking the barbecue to do me a couple of well-done steaks. Actually jeered by people in the line. Pink chewy meat is shit, and if I'm the only one with the stones to go public with that FACT then fuck the lot of you.

Blue steak :drool:
Only bad thing with that is that when you order a steak blue in a restaurant it comes out borderline medium-rare these days probably because of health and safety.
I like it pink myself but anyone should have it whatever fuck way they want.Quote:

If I was getting steak at a barbecue I'd probably do the same but I'm not the kind of nutter to order steak at one which alleviates me of the social pressure.
BBQ steak is always burnt anyway. And if it wasn't, it was probably shit meat, so you're probably better off incinerating it. Medium rare shit steak is rotten.
steak at a barbecue? la-dee-da, just have cheap burgers you ponce
They missed the bit where you're paying for it so you can have it whatever way you like. Food wankery is too rife these days.Quote:

It's something I dislike hugely but I've no problem with someone having one if they want one and pay for one . Do you think someone paying for a steak should have the person cooking it (or'society') decide how it's cooked for them?Quote:

Never looked back. It was so much more tender and tasty.
I think they microwave the steak in weatherspoons Lewis.
Obviously cooking meat properly (I think some of you are confusing 'well-done' and frazzled) makes it less tough - or 'chewy' - than not, or barely doing so. That is why our monkeyman predecessors did it, because, amongst other things, it makes it easier to eat. Eat it straight out the packet if it's so great and melty.
You don't eat a steak completely raw because the Maillard reaction is good shit. Steak tartare though, yes please.
Wrong all round lad.Quote:

It makes it the right one to get if that's what you've asked for though.Quote:

Good thing I'm vindicated by only skimming. I had just assumed pretentious when I seen the username.
I suggest you refer back to my use of FACT and refrain from embarrassing yourselves further.
What kind of a comeback is that :D

That sauce looks delicious.
That does look good.
It was class. Didn't need the chips really but can never pass them up.
Yeah, the chips seem unnecessary. Still, once they are there it is hard to not eat them.
I got a munchy box last night and it was decent but they only gave me one tiny little tub of sauce which kinda ruined it.
Especially when they're doused in a chilli powder mix.Quote:

Anybody I know who's been to one of the Brazilian BBQ places always says those are the pits.
Yeah, they're not great.
Not sure why they bother as every other meat at those BBQ places is great.
Been making fritters cos babies seem to love them. 2 eggs, 33g (“1 Cup” :moop: ) of plain flour and then a grated or small vegetable, fried in a pan for 2 mins either side. Piece of piss. I’ve done sweetcorn fritters (biggest hit) and courgette ones. Any ideas for what else would be both tasty and would hold together?
Sweetcorn fritters with a bit of mexican spicing are the bomb (probably not for babies).
Carrot? I'd squeeze some of the moisture out before adding them to the mix (would do the same with courgette).
