We stopped the Big Texan last September and ordered a regular steak. It was up there with the worst I've ever had but what does one expect from a tourist trap. NRA Life Patron | |||

Pretty much what I have found in Germany and other European countries. And some very close family friends of my wife's family were butchers. And all the beef they sold they butchered from local farmers. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

Yeah, I was TDY at Croughton for 6 weeks. Glad I could eat at the officer's club. Other than fish and chips, nothing else I was tempted to try on the local economy was worth a repeat trial. Only good thing I remember from that assignment was the milk. Nice milk, non-homogenized, with a nice layer of cream at the top. Served in 1/2 liter glass bottles.

I used to go to a place here that had a 72oz challenge - the steak, all the trimmings, and desert. Take as much time as you like, but you can't leave the table once you start. I never tried it, but they had a wall-of-fame with pictures of all the people who had succeeded. The thing that struck me was that most of them were skinny little folks. That place closed down about 15 years ago, which is really too bad because I really liked their food. | |||

Is English food that bad? 美しい犬 | |||

Go ahead punk, make my day |
Yes. Along with most Northern European countries. Go there for the history, not for the food (which some exceptions, of course). | |||

The lone European steak exception to all of this is Italy, and only in Tuscany where a properly cooked bistecca la Fiorentina steak is on-par with what's available in the US. The Chianina breed is a massive, ancient breed that produces a flavor that I enjoy and found to be exceptionally tender.
Need to eat some modern Scandinavian food. I ate very well in Copenhagen and Oslo. | |||
