It is one mouth full, it is pretty pathetic tbh.

This thread made my hungry earlier, so I got some Pork Chops and made Somerset Pork with Apples and Cider.. owned so hard.

Mr. Anderson · 11 Nov 2009 at 00:40

Is Somerset pork a dish or was the pork just from Somerset?

Great thread to see before tonight! Going for a 16oz rump at a pub out in the country tonight! Done rare

They're lovely and only 7 pounds. Have pics somewhere.

I wish people would cook their food, one thing I hate its uncooked steak with blood coming out of it I want mine burned.

R B Customs · 11 Nov 2009 at 09:27

do you not have a griddle pan to to your steaks on?

Here's one I prepared earlier:

*uni halls* *uni budget* *uni kitchen (shared

minging

*

potatos sliced thick and par-boiled with chives for about 6 mins then sautéed with garlic olive oil and butter turned once.

steak is sirloin, I like mine medium-well

need an ale with a steak!

probs not the most healthy meal, and would have done better with some extras, but yea - uni budget, and it was V nice.

It's clearly preference, but once you learn to man up and embrace you're hunter gatherer instincts, then you'll realise that a nice rare steak is infinitely better than a charcoaled lump of burned meat.

Each to their own, my girlfriend has hers well done when we go, I always en up finishing hers off but its just so chewy and tough, still nice but certainly not as lovely as rare.

I've made her try medium now as she hadn't even tried anything different, she liked it. That's what annoys me! People stating they hate steak cooked a certain way when they haven't tried it! "Oh it will walk off the plate" she says! No love it's been dead for a good month nearly.

I have to admit, I started with Very well done, and over the years they have been getting more and more rare. I've settled on medium though.

what are the health issues as far as rare, or bloody, even blue steaks go? it's practically still raw - not read up about it to be honest - what's the crack?
maybe health is not the right world, but I mean risk of becoming ill from it.

waitrose do decent meat, dry aged AA. plus it is on the way home and open later than the butcher.

plus just because meat is from a butcher it does not always automatically mean its better. in fact i would wager than waitrose meat is better than most high street butchers.

Go to michael hart & son in cricklade
It's gotta be in the top 3 butcherys of the uk.
BEST. MEAT. EVER.

Even better than some of the real fancy ones i've been to in london.

Waitrose meat is pretty good though, unless i'm desperate for meat I wouldn't touch the other supermarkets meat with a barge pole. (maybe M&S)

My missus was like that.. Bought a couple of nice 28 day fillets though a couple weekends ago and cooked them rare. She moaned that it was still bloody when she saw it at first, but she tried it and said it was quite nice afterwards. This weekend when I asked her what she wanted to eat, she even suggested steak.. Result!

Just a shame I can't afford fillet all the time..
