The Only Poll That Counts: How Do You Have Your Steak?

[Theben]

Medium rare.

And Sashimi with rice is Chirashi. All good.

There are actually some award-winning restaurants in Indianapolis, unfortuantely most of them are on the other side of town. But there is an excellent Thai reataurant that has buffet lunch And I just recently discovered my father has never eaten Thai before in his life! He was quite pleased with it.

Medium.

I don't pay 30 bucks for my steak to fight back.

Thirty bucks?!

I guess The Reagan can afford to eat at the Four Seasons.

How much?!

TexMex not known and Mexican barely known?

Things have changed a great deal since you were last here Imran.

Apparently you don't have any good versions. All I hear you people talk about are your Indian take aways . Nary a word about burritos and some great chili con carne.

And the reverse offer stands if you come up to Columbus. Of course, I have no idea where anything is, but hopefully I'll figure things out soon.

I think I have a University of Michigan shirt... can I bring it to wear?

Blue, which for you ignorant folk, is 'really, really rare'

That is possibly true, I wish we had more. It is pretty widespread and popular in terms of supermarket ingredients but there aren't many good restaurants. (other than a couple of crappy US style chains). I absolutely love tex mex although I mostly have to make it myself. I've been to some really good mexican places in London but it hasn't become very widespread and I don't know how it'd compare to somewhere in the US.

The problem is that there are not many Mexicans here but loads of former residents of the sub-continent. We tend to get our spicy kicks that way. My English chums who've visited the US say that the Indian food there is pretty ****. *shrug* (English 'indian' food doesn't bear much relation to proper indian food though.)

We also have a lot of good chinese and thai.

**** ya. What do you think I'm going to wear every damn day that I live there?

How does that make my statement wrong then?

There's Mexican, and there's Tex-Mex.
Mexican sucks.

Mexican is very widespread, good mexican less so.

Don't really know the distinction between mexican and tex mex but Mexican is great.

And I don't take food tips from a Texan who has his steak well done. (still laughing at that).

[MikeH]

Damn, this and the black pudding thread are making me hungry.

[SlowwHand]

Mexican is like California. Shredded gray meat with potato in the tacos and enchiladas.
Tex-Mex uses more chili, also.

And I eat my steak my way, and you don't need to waste time worrying about it.

[MikeH]

What we get is probably more like tex mex then but that's not as marketable as mexican.
