Ordered a steak over the weekend...requested Rare.
But it was in that halfway house between rare and medium rare.
Almost Good To Soft in Racing...in fact a more accurate description would’ve been - rare, rare to medium rare in places : (
Got right mugged off imo
Best rare steak I ever had was in South Africa...those Afrikaans know how to do a steak imo
...
In addition to this wtf is up with people ordering sweet potato fries? Jesus Christ people.
Sweet potato fries are the food of the devil, t - keep fighting the good fight.Quote:

Rule number 1 of eating in restaurants t. NEVER ORDER THE STEAK.Quote:

Something which has taken a team of cooks several days to create.
That way you're getting bang for your buck :shrood:
Took my nearly 4-year-old to Flatiron yesterday. He demolished a 200g steak (cooked medium) all on his own :clap:Quote:

I thought american beef was better to be honest....
What about if you are eating in a transport cafe? Can you order what you actually want then?Quote:

For the sake of clarity, in a transport café you should order double egg, sausage, bacon and two fried slices, unless it's lunchtime, in which case you want double egg, sausage, ships and two slices of bread and butter.
Tea, always. Splash of milk, leave the bag in.
Well, we agree on Tea. Finally, something.....Quote:

I think heterosexual male adults need two eggs, p. One egg is an insufficiency of egg.Quote:
