Unpopular Opinions You Hold

I'm now unclear as to which is the unpopular opinion.

 

 

Well done steaks - unpopular

 

Restuarants not having to cater for the requests of their customers - also unpopular

So nothing, mate, if you're happy with it.

 

Personally, I think pomposity is an unpleasant trait.

That’s strange because you seem to love pedantry and I think the two are very similar.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a good steak in a restaurant in this country.

Quite rare, I'd have thought.

I see what you've done there

It certainly isn't rare 

I run out all the time.

When you're paying, you like to be told how you can have your food cooked regardless of the way you actually want it?

 

I’d want it the way they would offer it.

McDonalds certainly will do you a burger any way you like it if you ask. You can fully customise them on the touch screens inside nowadays adding and removing pretty much anything you want. A mate of mine has his double cheeseburger plain with just cheese and nothing else. Me, I like extra pickle and mustard on mine. 

 

Maybe they wouldn't cook your burger rare because of their safety standards, but they'll do pretty much anything else.

I’m not sure why so many people use spray on deodorant, roll on is much better.

They never ask me, but they correctly guess I want all my food devoid of flavour and piled with salt, finished with a pumping of some sort of compressed gas that gives me the hiccups

It's great for tranferring armpit hair to other parts of your body

Where else on your body do you use roll on deodorant apart from under your arms?

Joint of Pork, slice and salt the skin side, 30 minutes at full whack, double foil around the tray( a deep tray is best for basting later on) then 3-4 hours at about 150 degrees, then baste over the top with all the juices in the tray, then another hour at the same temperature with the foil off. 

 

Fvcking incredible bit of meat!!! Falls apart!!

First time I've read a post on here and felt very very hungry.

Oh and just go to a hawksmoor then all will make sense. 

I'm going again in two weeks and am already looking at the menu. I genuinely can't wait.

 

The sides as well, the creamy mash and spinach. The potted beef for a starter.

Sure, that's entirely your prerogative, mate, and as someone who doesn't eat meat, my opinion of how it's best cooked is worthless. The point I'm making is regarding the principle that taste is entirely subjective and to say that a steak can only be cooked one way is pompous and ridiculous.

I agree the customer should always have the final say but I also think a chef should cook a meat how he sees fit. If they are buying cuts and hanging then they shouldn't have someone ruining it.

 

You wouldn't tell a builder to put a conservatory on the roof as that's how you like it.

The cows didn't die just for some oddball to have a steak well done

There appears to be evidence of CJD on this thread. Maybe steak should just be banned altogether.

No they wouldn't, The grills are double-sided and set to a minimum time so they can't go below that. Although they can do burgers well done if you ask them for it.

Surely that would be closing the byre door after the cattle have bolted?

Went a few weeks ago and had the Sunday roast which was unsurprisingly the best roast I've had bar my Christmas dinner. They do amazing cocktails and beer too.

When I went last year I had med rare rib eye, fries, Caesar salad, and their anchovy hollandaise which is absolutely amazing. And soda bread to share.

Which one do you usually go to mate?

Don't mind a bit of Broccoli or Spinach. 

 

All other veg can go though.

Oddly enough you can remove everything so there is nothing. No burger. But they will still charge you for it. Madness
