Do you have a drink problem? 36 bottles in 3 weeks Four strikes in total, but just with a single order. One delivery attempted on a day I had specified that I would not be there to receive, when they left a completely blank card, plus three phantom deliveries when they didn't even bother trying. To be fair to them, Virgin Wines have been very apologetic, and the main fault lies with DHL. They have offered to deliver the case, using a different courier.

getdownmonkeyman Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Spent the past few days in Rome, but never got chance to try the Roman version of Arancini, what they call Suppli. Has anybody ever tried one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Went to Brasserie Blanc today, a few things: Set menu quality, value for money good stuff. There was a 30oz ( yes it was in Imperial!) T-bone steak for £62 which was something I find gobsmacking. And the Coffee was rubbish. 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mention of scary steak prices from Jay Rayner in this Sunday's Observer: "Gordon Ramsay has reopened the space formerly occupied by Maze Grill in the Marriott hotel on London’s Grosvenor square as a steak house called the Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill. Prices are astonishing. Rib eye costs £13.33 per 100gm as against £8.25 at Hawksmoor and fillet is £22 per 100gm as against £12 at Hawksmoor".

MattSantos Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Steak here can be stupidly expensive. Ive been to Wolfgang Puck (michelin star) on a pre theatre set meal deal and the steak was very very average. I now buy an Aussie 4a wagyu ribeye and bbq him at home.

Ive been to Wolfgang Puck (michelin star) on a pre theatre set meal deal and the steak was very very average. I now buy an Aussie 4a wagyu ribeye and bbq him at home. To be honest, if I'm eating out, I wouldn't choose steak anyway (unless it was a specialist steak place). When I go to a restaurant, it is to eat something I either couldn't make myself, or which would be too much hassle to make unless I really felt like spending a lot of prep/cooking time doing it. I can cook a steak very well at home and, unless the restaurant has some sort of open-flame wood/charcoal grill, it isn't going to be significantly better and is certainly going to be a lot more expensive.

There's a lot in that about why we go to restaurants and not having to do the pots afterwards is a real winner. I said the steak was a shock to me but the poorness of the coffee was unforgivable. Then again the wife says that's partly because we've become coffee snobs but Blanc's coffee was appalling! And it didn't even come with a speculoos! Just on its own!

Futtocks Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) While I cook easy and quick things on weekdays, I like to put a bit more effort (or at least time) into cooking on weekends, when I have the leisure time and energy. So, Saturday was scallop, king prawn and chorizo pie. Sunday was ox cheek rendang (although I used a pre-made spice paste for that). Both excellent.

That lad who is bringing me the caribou could also bring me some musk ox but he said it isn't overly good and they actually feed it to their Husky dogs....I tried it once years ago but it was slow cooked but not too bad. Kid thought I was a bit crazy to want more. He is actually looking forward to dining on a large portion of whale meat instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see, musk ox eat a lot of moss and lichen, so maybe that's not so great for flavour.
