Well....

After our very own Tonkers post about his steak on a shovel I have decided that it will be rump steaks for tea today. Chips cooked in beef dripping and possibly baked garlic mushrooms to accompany.

This is what we want... More I say.

That's food for thought, Billinge B.

Had a steak last night with spuds and broccoli, very nice

We like our broccoli to, sounds nice. WN1.

We're out tonight for a meal with our middle lad's future in-laws, so probably a pasta dish and a few scoops.

That sounds good, enjoy.

Standisher are you going to Papa L on the lane ?

I think that's where we're booked in NJ

Lovely isn't it....enjoy

How was Standish the other day Terry ? Did you do the Afternoon or the whole day ?

It's our favorite restaurant NJ, great food, lovely staff and well priced

And mine you've got good taste

Thank you Nana, you too :)

Not really into Italian food.

'Steak on a Shovel' could be a good marketing gimmick, open a steak restaurant, and along the lines of 'Steak Diane' with the flaming Cognac thing, and flamed grill food, yoo could have an open fire, with chefs cooking steaks on it, using a shovel, and going back to that topic about tossers on here, the chefs could be using the ancient art of 'Shovel Tossing' to turn the steaks over, and roast potatoes cooked in a coal scuttle.

Folk would be daft enough to pay a fortune for food like that

Really good steaks are in Portugal ...Sizzling Stone in Albufeira cooked at your table

TTS you should try cooking your own steak on a mad hot stone

Missed your post WN1, sorry.

No we headed to the Boars yed then down to Wigan St Pats for the rugby and did the day and evening there.

"Really good steaks are in Portugal ...Sizzling Stone in Albufeira cooked at your table"

Steak on a stone!

In Wigan it would be Steak on a Shovel, cooked over an open coal fire, and it would be great if it was actually real Wigan coal being used, and say so open a small drift mine in Wigan, and market the coal has real Wigan coal, maybe using that cannel coal, which burns very well.

Folk would pay a daft price for it

I think I'll open a Restaurant & use these good ideas haha

I too have had ' stone steaks ' in Portugal Nana. The first time I had it I was unaware you had to cook it yourself on the hot tile. Apparently, my face was a picture :)

Sounds like you had a good turn out Terry, was the Boars Head busy ?

Bet your family had a laugh at your expense you'll know for next time

It was fairly busy WN1 but we didn't hang around too long as we wanted to get at St Pats for the kick off.

They cook steak on a stone at Summat To Ate in Hindley.

‘The Hot Rock Dining Experience’

I bet St Pats was busy, what with the Irish Band playing later on. Yes Nana, a couple of the family had had the stone steak before and didn't tell me I was to be cooking my own. Must go back there someday,

During the war like everything else bacon was dished out in rashers , my uncle drove the pit loco at Park coliery & he cooked his alowance on the shovel that was used to fire the loco he took a slice of bread with him.
