Steak

I was talking about steak with some other people, I notice the Americans prefer their steaks rare and the British prefer them well-done (cooked till no blood/red in the middle)

Really? I must visit Britain sometime soon: baked beans for breakfast, well-done steaks... sounds like the place for me. :2thumbsup:

Then you are really going to hate this, steak tartare! Pepper and salt on these suckers, it's good like this we don't even bother cooking them we shove them up cold. Terrific.

Hmm, I'm pretty bold when it comes to food, but that's not something I think I could do. I'll stick to carpaccio for my raw beef experience.

Do bear in mind that we also eat raw fish that was left to rot for texture. It's absolutely delicious and a true test of faith for tourists. We won't let them get away.

A true dutch delicacy, I eat them with chopped onions, to the disgust of the purist.

Fragony, the dutch are sick sick &%%&%$. That is disgusting. I have eaten raw living sardines, tuna eyes raw, and plenty of other weird fish meals, but usually i eat it before the mere sight makes me throw up.


Hmmm, really I'm American and i prefer a well-done steak. I always knew i was a lost little British noble adopted by American tourists. :laugh4:

No it is not, they are simply delicious, and incredibly healthy I insist on eating 2 each week, they are bursting with whatever it is that's healthy for you. It's a herring, now if you think what we do is nasty, wait for a scandinavian to come here to admit his shame, believe me if we freak you out these vikings will wreck you, their herrings are actually potentially explosive.

Ugh man, throw that thing on a grill.

PS I'm glad this thread is still going.

The only good meat is pink and warm, anything else is not the real thing.

Anything a Texan says about steak should be treated as if it is gospel truth!

The idea of tartar actually sounds like one of the most disgusting things that I could imagine, and there would be no way in hell to convince me to eat something like that in the US.. the threat of acquiring a food borne illness being much to high here, however, if I were in the Netherlands (which I will be next Summer)... I'd give it go.

'broodje tartaar', snackbar thing restaurants don't have them, won't regret it

Brother, you ain't kidding. Just ask any Minnesotan or Norwegian their opinion on lutefisk! (Talk about a food that had to have been created on a dare....) ~D

Thanks, but I prefer my meat tough and brown/black, not squishy and pink. Pink meat is for people who can't handle the black meat.

not that I particularly have anything against people who enjoy charring things to a crisp (my grandfather used to purposely burn toast and dip it in coffee :dizzy2:)

But wouldn't you just be better off turning every piece of steak you buy into jerky?

Because I prefer my meat nice and thick.

Everybody knows that if you can handle black meat you got to love pink.

Hmmm that wasn't about steak anymore.

Well i dont think there is nothing wrong with rare meat if it is in a form that can be eaten easily. For example, i love to eat meatball dough rare. Basically it has minced meat, onion, breadcrums and egg with spices. That stuff is delicious.:2thumbsup:

$2 Steak and $3.50 Beer. BEST PUB EVER!

Holy ****, where?! WHERE?! WH-

oh, right... you live in Australia. :wall:

Re Lutefisk, I had that at a buffet over christmas at a Swedish restaurant. Was actually pretty tame, tho my Finnish friend warned me of Lutefisk.

Maybe its just Scandinavians wanting to scare people off this tasty fish.

i like steak blue.
