    Yes ribeye is awesome.

    Fillet of beef has it's place but it's not as a "steak".

    Fillet is underrated, but rib eye is the obvious king.

    Sirloin the dark horse shithouse.

    Fillet is obviously not the best steak but thinking it's bad is for pretentious wankers who've heard on telly it's bad and have decided that's also their opinion.

    I can’t fathom how it would be construed as bad if you like beef. But I’ll eat anything.

    It's certainly not worth the extra that gets charged for it but no steak is particularly exciting unless you season the fuck out of it.

    Sirloin every time. Scorn all you like, but Lidl's 30-day aged steaks are absolutely excellent, especially if you spend a few mins hunting through them all to find the most marbled ones. Season them simply, fry on both sides for a couple of mins, butter in for a minute or so + garlic and herbs. Rest and voila.

    I had a sirloin with a ham omelette. The chips were sound, and the banoffee pie was top drawer as well.

    Fat has flavour so fillet is definitely the blandest. It's good as part of a dish where other things make up for the lack of flavour - that's where it's texture shines - but I'd never order one just as a steak.

    Fillet is great in a Wellington, but that's about it. Anywhere else you want the fat. And a fuck tonne of peppercorn sauce, obvs.

    One of the top five meals of my life was a 'Steak fromage' (to rhyme with 'page') in New York, massive fucking thing for about $40, smothered in blue cheese sauce. The taste sensation as you were brutally attacked by the blue cheese before it gradually melted away into the marbled, seasoned steak, my goodness, I'm having palpitations just thinking about it.

    Must have skipped breakfast the next day.

    I had a wagyu steak at a Michelin place in Amsterdam for my 40th and it was outrageous. If you ever get the chance to tackle what is basically "peak steak" then give it a try

    Fillet isn't generally more expensive these days I don't think, maybe slightly by weight, but probably not by edible mass.

    I bought a wagyu steak (Australian because the Japanese ones were double the price) from my butcher last year and it was incredible.

    I can't imagine what a Japanese wagyu cooked at a Michelin place would be like.

    I'm sure Wagyu meant something at some point but now it's just a buzz word that implies quality but doesn't guarantee it. Like when all the fancy furger places slapped an Angus tag on things.

    Wagyu comes from specific breeds of cow.

    In the UK Japanese Wagyu has protected destination of origin status and there is an assurance scheme for British Wagyu.

    I just a fried soft shell crab bao, and it looked exactly as you would expect it to look. Any it was pretty tasty.

    Also Luca, if you are in London at some point and can get a table (they often have late night tables at short notice), just get yourself to fucking Core.

    Normally when I go somewhere amazing, my mind is "that was brilliant, where next?" but with Core I am genuinely tempted to go back. It was outstanding.

    Went to Store at Stoke Mill the other day which was great.

    I think I have sold the wife on Ynyshir for next year's big one.

    Put all that together on a normal sized plate and you’re still hungry. I’d need a takeaway on the way home after that.

    There's a weird category of person who needs to see all their food on one plate instead of consecutively. Went for tapas with my brother and he almost had a full toddler tantrum even though we had way more food than you'd get in a normal main course.

    He did, but probably hadn't had it for a while so had forgotten that seeing food on several small plates turns him into the incredible hulk.

    British style tapas [I'll call it that although it isn't unique to us], where everything arrives at the same time in a massive orgy of food, is the worst.

    I still have a deep seated antipathy towards anyone photographing their food when out, and as for 'off menu', well . . .

    I always assume 'off menu' is five day old stuff they haven't bothered to throw away yet. Which in the case of prawns in chile sauce (Paraguay sauce?) doesn't sound the one.

    I pass no judgment on the food, which I'm sure is exceptionally good, and whilst I personally think it's an odd stag do idea, I would agree those sort of things are better experienced as part of a group.

    I'm also old and cynical and got over my tasting menu phase 15 years ago.

    Taking pictures of pints also obviously worse and frankly borderline deranged.

    At a place where they clearly take care with presentation you'd think less of it would look like it was found on the floor in the woods.

    You can get an incredible meal for like $1 in Mexico. Not sure why anyone bothers with that kind of stuff. None of it looks appetizing to me, but I am sure that it is good. I'll still take the $1 tacos from the stand outside, uncultured swine that I am.

    We did both, and they were both enjoyable in their own way. The stand near our AirBnB had banging tacos de moronga.

    It was an ‘odd’ stag do by classic standards - we went museum hopping, did a food tour, did tasting menus. But then again we also got blackout drunk and did the LADS boat cruise. It was a good balance.

    ‘Off menu’ is usually a) stuff they’ve got in as a bonus from the supplier; b) stuff they are trialing for the main menu. This case I think it was b).

    I sort of get the antipathy on the photos (especially the cunts standing on chairs with a DSLR), but food is an experience like any other and I one that I like to remember.

    Have some focaccia dough on a second prove after sitting overnight in the fridge. First time doing it; hope it works. It at least seems to have swelled as it should have.

    Get some pictures up when it's done.

    In other news, I made a lemon tart recently. The first pastry case had a crack somewhere and the filling leaked out all over the oven, so I had to remake it. The second time I forgot to put the sugar in the filling so I had to scoop it all out and remake it again (fortunately only the filling as the case survived).

    I am patissiere.
