Title: Lidl meat
Post by: Rods2 on 02 April 2017, 20:43:55
I often buy their meat special offers as they are very good value and the meat is good. Used up this weekend (one last night and the other tonight) a twin 7.5oz each steak pack for circa £4.50. Lovely 0.75" thick steaks, which my steak knife cut through like going trough butter and they melted in my mouth. :y :y :y

With both of them, spot on with the cooking time so they were medium-rare. :y

How can you eat live meat? It has to have a brown overcoat, cooked through and NO PINK for me!  :P

I've eaten marinated raw beef in the US. Very nice it was too. :y

If I ever see something on a menu I haven't eaten before, I have to give it a try. :y

Top man. You would do well in Spain.

A few years back we were in darkest Catalunia. Workers restaurant only had a verbal menu delivered by a busy waiter in some diallect. I caught the word cerdo. The dish was very nice but was a pigs trotter. More energy expounded looking for meat than gained!

They have quail breasts in our Lidl in season. Excellent and cracking value.

My Uncle did similar in a ramshackle Victorian hotel in Dinard, Brittany, following a cancelled flight back to Guernsey...

Only it was horse, and not its feet ::) both of which were apparent when served ;D

Fair play though, he ate it 8)

Same here. Nothing more disgusting than pushing a fork into meat on your plate and blood oozing out. If it isn't cooked right through I send it back.
Another reason I consider the French ignorant and uncivilised.  :D
As Elvis Presley said "I want a meal, not a pet".   :y

Only tried Lidl meat once. I wasn't impressed tbh. I find Sainsburys hard to beat, if somewhat expensive.

I was beginning to think that I was "the only one in step", Migv6, in liking my meat that way. Most chefs on the food programmes like it alive and bleeding, including Michel Roux, whom I like - but he is french, so what can you expect? Barbarians all!  ::)

Ron.

P.S. Nige, YOU are allowed to have your meat that way, because I will never forget how you helped me last year.....

Yep. Same for me. I won't eat meat so rare that a good vet could get it back on it's feet again. :)

I don't mind it slightly pink inside, but blood swimming around the plate....nah......makes the chip go all red and soggy for a start!

Rare Properly cooked steak doesn't ooze blood, it's a protein that happens to be red in colour.

Once you've overcooked the steak it goes grey and the meat dries out so there's precious little liquid to carry it out of the meat in solution and no red to colour the juices anyway.

The meat has no blood in it following slaughter and hanging.

I used to be medium rare, but since the whole country turned homosexual about 10yrs ago, I have to ask for medium well now, just so my cow is shown some heat.

If the dear Lord had wanted us to eat this shit raw, he wouldn't have invented cookers.

And don't bother with steak in the land of the cheese eating surrender monkeys. We know they can't cook...  ...and every year I forget this simple fact ;D

The steak's not that bad, it's just that they cover it with so much shite that you could be eating a fillet of anything..... horse, dog, refugee.  :o  :D  ;D

I don't mind the fact that they cant cook. The thing that irks me is that they are convinced that they are by far the best cooks in the world and anyone who thinks otherwise is a simple minded ignoramus. But that's yer French for ya.  :)

Lidl, Aldi, Costco  meat nearly all from same abattoirs',

Tesco and Morrison's use there own pack house, Morrison's have there own abattoirs,

Waitrose have the best abattoirs,
