    The thing with going out for a good steak is there's really no need to do that these days depending on where you live. We can get exactly the same quality beef as most steakhouses (without getting into ultra high-end cuts like MS9 or A5 Wagyu sort of thing that retailers typically don't carry) and *we can cook a steak as well as any steakhouse can to our exact liking at home because it's not a rocket science. Sure, going with friends to a steakhouse is a good social outing, their range of entrees and sides are normally great, and if there's going to be things like 1.75kg Tomahawks involved to be shared it's definitely the way to go, but there's no need to go to a steakhouse to get a good 350gr (or 12oz) nicely marbled piece of steak. Even if you lived in butt-fuck nowhere in Thailand, places like Passion Delivery can sort you out.

    Not sure if you've spent any real time in England but I can tell you they don't typically eat that full brekkie at home because it's simply too much work cooking and plating the fucking thing! 3 or 4 items from it would be far more common, and the full Monty with about 8 items on the plate is reserved for when some other bastard who gets paid to do it is doing the cooking and washing up!

    The English love of curry thing, in my opinion, comes from when the Pubs kick you out at closing time but being complete geniuses, everyone decides more booze is most definitely required so it's off to the nearest Curry house which never seems to be more than a few paces from any Pub (those sneaky fucking Bangla's ) and then the drinking can continue for another hour or two over Chicken tika masala, prawn vindaloo, and garlic naan bread. If smart enough to know it's time to go home, the nearest Kebab shop which will also be within spitting distance of the Pub is plan B.

    *we = Not you Chitty.

    yep, easy to cook at home and plenty of quality butchers so no need to buy the shit from supermarkets and you tell them the exact cut and thickness.

    Let's be honest here. I think Chitty cooks at Dennys. All his food looks like it.

    Well I think you guys have seen my Napa trips to my parents. I head to the local butcher and pick up all my beef. Known the owner for 25 years. I walk in and he says. "Hey welcome back JP, how is Thailand?" I say "Great" He said "Gimme a few minutes I will cut you up a few thick Porterhouse's, Just you and your Pop?" I say "Yep"

    I far prefer to grill at home. I only do the steak out when it's a bunch of colleagues and we plan on a long night eating and drinking. Example of eating at a nice steakhouse, nobody cooks up a huge prime rib at home. I usually get me fat end cut, au jus and tater.

    Man I am hungry. Going to get a Ribeye out.

    Friday night Din. After all this beef discussion I really did grill up a very nice 200 day aged Ribeye.



    The aroma from the grill is salivating...... Not this "hunk of beef stew" that the Denny's 3rd shift Joe chef tossed up...



    A proper resting. This is what Hal fails to understand. No need for 2 cups of gravy to cover up a cheap cut of over cooked beef. A properly seasoned steak creates it own juices.



    Dinner as served. Tater, Broccoli/carrots as a side. Beerlao dark as the beverage.

    Exactly, and it is utterly laughable that grown men do not understand this.

    You clueless Headwank of a ditch digger.

    95% of Australian is uninhabitable, that is why you have vast areas of supposed farms that produce nothing but dust
    The only decent outback meat produced is Kangeroo and the dumbfvck Aussie Hillbilly farmers persist on producing stringy beef.
    Whereas in the UK the grass grows do quickly that the farmers have to milk the cows three times a day.
    The British climate is conducive to creating the best natural beef in the world without all that massaging crap etc.

    Stick fishing for shrimps to throw on the Barbie coz you all live by the sea and the majority of Oz is a wasteland.

    Not that I dislike the country and the people , I think it's great.

    BBQ kangeroo HW, get onit like a Utes bonnet
    Shalom

    I did yesterday, you just couldn't see the woods for the trees because of all those wonderfully tasty American condiments and sides I engulfed it with

    Give me a fresh Aussie Kangeroo steak any day of the week though, fooking lush.

    Actually Joe, I purchase almost 75% of my Beef from Australia and its excellent. The other 25% is USDA. I have never seen a UK beef here in Thailand. I occasionally see cuts from Denmark. It's funny in that so much of the "Western" style food is heavily UK influenced around Thailand yet not Beef. You can however find lots of various sausages, frozen food, canned and bottled products

    That's coz it is prime beef available to only upmarket consumers in first world countries, don't buy into all that Mad cow disease propaganda mallarky.
