The Germans say "Englisch" for a steak where a lighted match has been carried past it at a distance of 10 yards (well, to be honest, just seared on all sides for a few moments) . So raw that it's a wonder it doesn't still moo. I was just out to pick up the almost 3 kilos of fillet steak we ordered for Christmas = 1x roast with cranberry preserve, rosemary potatoes baked in olive oil, green beans, peas, and carrots, + several steaks with fries + 1x fondue (not cheese) + the end bits diced and fried and in a rucola (rocket - what a silly name) salad with shavings of Parmesan and strips of Serrano ham, and the rest (if there is any) with salted butter and fried onions in freshly baked baguette rolls. The forecast says more freezing rain followed by more heavy snow, so I hope the beef and booze carries us through into the New Year:-) Cheers Douglas On 23.12.2010 08:55, philippe.amard wrote: > Some use gas nowadays > The cliche is not about French cooking, rather it is how we perceive how > the Brits conceive well done i.e no juice left in the meat .
