jcn 13 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lester Burnham 36 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 I'm all about a nice fillet. 35 is rather steep though? I'm assuming that it must be Argentinean. Nice fillet from Laidlaws... leave it sitting in a tasty red for half an hour. Season with salt and pepper and give it a couple of minutes each side. Delish!

Teabags 2632 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 Prime Cuts is awesome, but only to be eaten at when someone else is paying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jones Street Boy 0 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lepeep 30 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lester Burnham 36 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(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.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
