jcn Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 The stage door does an ace steak. The best that I had in Aberdeen by far was at The Tunnels, but unfortunately they don't do food anymore :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam 45 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Prime Cuts. I think a main course is a good 35 bucks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Prime Cuts is awesome, but only to be eaten at when someone else is paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones Street Boy Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Prime Cuts is great, but as previously mentioned, it's a bit on the pricey side. I've only been the once and Richard E Grant happened to be there. Sadly though he didn't demand the finest wines available to humanity.

lepeep Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm assuming that it must be Argentinean.don't tell my sisters beef farming partner that...amazing what a bit of "foreign mystery" can do to the price of something...if anything, the best local aberdeen angus is the best (and probably themost expensive) beef you can get? (bar that japanese stuff (Kobe) that can be 100's per pound) Kobe Beef - Japanese Beef - Kobe beef information1 (16 oz.) New York Steak - Kobe Beef from Japan, kobe beef, buy kobe beef, kobe steaks(yes...that's $149.99 for one 16 Oz steak). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Jo-D Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Argentinian Steak....which apartently comes from Angus cows...how does that work....who cares it's by far the finest I have tried yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Argentinian Steak....which apartently comes from Angus cows...how does that work....who cares it's by far the finest I have tried yet!angus is a breed - not a place (well...it "is" a place...but not when you talk about "angus" cows).apparently....(and this comes from a beef farmer, who knows about these things)...is that Argentinean beef is cheaper than Scottish Beef - because of the "mass production", but also the lack of stringent accountability we have here.It's also rife with TB - which isn't contagious - but would instantly be culled if in the UK.(but...this is from a Scottish farmers perspective...so I'd need to find out "the facts" before making a descision)...but saying that, I do trust and believe what my sisters partner says.and ayway...we should be supporting british (scottish) farmers - they have a hard time as it is.

(which I don't get - as it's not infectious, but I guess there could be some mutation, or outbreak from offal / scraps goetting out there...)this is why most farmers kill badgers when they find them. I once went to the west coast, and past loch ness, there were dead badgers every mile on the back roads...and they were not killed by cars, I suspect...just made to look like it.

lepeep Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 The only reason I mentioned it is because it has a 'reputation' for being the best. I tried some when I was in Holland nd it was absolutely incredible. It would also explain the inflated price to a degree. Charging 35 for a steak you can buy out Laidlaws for a fiver is taking the piss.and the other end of the spectrum is when people buy a 2 steak, thinking it's going to be suculent, soft & tasty...cheap meat from the supermarkets....I don't want to get all pious again...but.....[rant]....

Here's an archive photo of a badger stalking its prey...This is all that was left after the badger had feasted for several hours: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
