oh dear

not surprised , tbh, as you clearly have no interest in learning about decent meat/steak

Your get out may well have worked if the 'maturity' of someone's pallate had less to do with culinary experience than it does to with the person's age.

Or a meringue?

I've got mitty well ahead on points here mind

It's a steak thread. :lol:
 
I must admit it took me a long time to really appreciate a good steak. In fact I'd say my tastes in most foodstuffs were pretty crap until I was mid-30's. Then I started to take a real interest in food, eating and cooking it. I think that if you enjoy cooking food, you tend to appreciate more dishes as you start looking for subtle flavourings or just wonder how a particular dish was prepared.

You and Bongo particularly, but others on here as well have pointed me in some interesting directions on some of the things I eat and cook now.

maybe you should listen to mr belly and cover a decent steak in peppercorn sauce( bet he doesnt even know there are different types of peppercorn)

I actually like a steak with a peppersauce on, but I would only do it if it was a so-so steak in a so-so gaff. Nowt wrong with that for a £10-£15 steak, but much beyond that, I'd be wanting the thing to justify my spending the wonga.

Best steak I ever had was a Bistecca alla Fiorentina sat outside in a back street tiny little restaurant in Florence. Just me and the Mrs with the bloke who ran the place bringing us all his own favourite stuff.

with a brunello di montalcino i hope?
 
Good thread. Good night.

vin santo and biscotti to you too

he brought us a small glass of that out to taste, but reckoned it was too expensive :lol: We had a Montepulciano, which I still go for every now and again, and a fairly good Chianti.
its called vino noble di montepulciano , tut tut

a glorious wine , the one that gort me started on italian wine:cool:

good tip brunello growers , in order to increase cash flow, release a wine early called rosso di montalacino, its the same stuff but younger, the best value wine on the market , being a fraction of the cost of brunello

nick named "baby brunello" look out for frescobaldi as the do a good one

nobile actually ;) and aye, a cracker.

To be honest I knew very little about Italian wines till I was over there. The IT manager was a serious wine-head and introduced me to some absolute crackers, but it's fair to say that none of them were cheap, and Beery was paying my expenses :lol:
 
You want to get yourself over there one time, you'd love it. I was never that fussed about Italian food till I spent some decent time there, and went into restaurants with Italians and let them explain the whole process. To say they're passionate about their food is an understatement.

never been:oops::oops::oops:

I know, I remember you saying, that's why I think you'd really enjoy it out there.

One of my favourite "work" trips ever was to Logroño, in the heart of La Rioja region. I love rioja and again the IT bod was a real wine freak. I'd hired a car and had deliberately added an extra day at the end of the trip. He gave me a great route to drive back to Bilbao through all the vineyards, visiting a few bodegas and taking in a wine museum.

I'd love to do something similar in Tuscany.
 
Are there any decent steak houses or whatever in Sunderland, Newcastle or Shields or anywhere relatively close to said places? Never really tasted a proper steak I suppose.
