    I hate steak.

    Was bought dinner last night, had a big three course sharing thing for the table. The main was ribeye steak. Horrible. Doesn't really register as actual edible food to me. Big rank slab of chewy indigestible meat. I don't get it. Feels like it'll be in my bowels for weeks.

    It was at Gaucho too so wasn't a quality issue

    Don't understand. People live that shit.

    • Do hate meat or Picasso more?utopian
    • I genuinely don't have hate in my body. Not for anything or anyone. However, I dislike eating steak, and find Picasso's work to be utterly mediocre.set
    • I mean I know I said I hate steak. But I hate steak like I love Indian food. You know, not literally. Just like you're not literally a cunt.set
    • We're both literally wankers though, I'm sure.set
    • Well that escalated quickly. From steak to wank in 30 seconds.set
    • I'm starting to think similarly and I love steak (not literally). Ribeye is too loose and sinewy and hard to chew, so you end up swallowing it in lumpsFax_Benson
    • and then not sleeping as you digest it overnight, leading to nightmares and 'meat sweats'Fax_Benson
    • Whereas fresh fish literally makes me feel healthier afterwards.Fax_Benson
    • MEAT IS MURDER and it tastes gooooodcruddlebub
    • There's a certain ratio between charred surface and raw inside that has to be just right for it all to work.fruitsalad
    • as a former steakhouse owner, i don't concurGnash
    • i'm sceptical to all raw meat in general after reading an article on parasites.
      I like the food, but its a mental thing which prevents me from enjoying it      drgs
    • Gaucho went down hill a bit a few years ago, sadly. Steak's my favourite meal, but there's no enjoyment in a mediocre one, so I very rarely eat it these days.detritus
    • The trick is to kill the meat (make it well done) before you eat it.pr2
    • I actually judge people based on how well they cook their beef - anything other than well done and i know you don't know s--- about food and only follow trends.pr2
    • So steak should only be cooked well done? Christ, I'll have to tell my Dad's Argentian chum whose restaurant we've been going to since the 80s..detritus
    • ..clearly he's a foolish trend-follower who knows nothing about quality, enjoyable food. What an idiot!detritus

    • ^ i used to do this at my placeGnash
    • I'm quite jealous that you had a steak restaurant. It's one of those idle, never-going-to-happe... fantasies of mine for when I'm older.detritus
    • you dont like steak?? https://www.youtube.…Al_dizzle
    • (it had it's moments, detritus. but so much work)Gnash
    • I too judge people based on how they order their steak, and if they order anything other than medium rare, I know they don't know shit about steakmonospaced
    • I know I'm in the minority, for sure. I'm slowly edging towards vegetarianism though to be fair. Well, pescetarianism at least.set
    • A vegan client pulled out a tuna sandwich mid-way through a session the other week. I held my tongue, but asked him to eat it on the other side of the studio.detritus
    • set just don't eat this stuff. I also made this mistake once in my life :) (i had no clue or whatever what i was ordering)sted
    • So he tells people he's vegan but eats tuna..?set
    • *shrugs* I know. I've had long chats with him about the meat industry and leathers, vs. the synthetic leathers he uses. I didn't know what to say, so didn't.detritus
    • ..and I'm someone who can't fucking stand fish, especially rancid-death-smellin... tinned tuna vom.detritus
    • fish are such cool creatures, can't imagine why vegetarians make exceptions with themscarabin
    • gf makes aglio olio e peperoncino (spaghetti with garlic and chilly) with tuna oil, without any meat and it's fucking amazing. she is a vegan, never asked hersted
    • about how she feels about the fishes killed for that oil :Dsted
    • ^ that's probably one of my favourite meals, sted. Although I've never tried it with tuna oil. sometimes i toss in anchovies.Gnash
    • She's not vegan then is sheset
    • Cry babyHayoth
    • It's a big tough manly beef eaterset
    • ahahaah :)sted
    • Gaucho is a wonderful Steely Dan album, and well cooked steak is delicious. But hey, if you don't dig, that's cool.stoplying
    • A well done steak is an overlooked steak. It won't have any of the flavor or texture that makes a steak any good.monospaced
