thought I would have something differentf this lunchtime , had grilled steak, new potatoes, peas , carrots and a mushroom sauce.

The bloody steak was awful, like chewing rubber, wouldn't mind I was really looking forward to it.

Still, the cats enjoyed it.....

We had chicken from M & S last Sunday. Totally inedible, I think even a cat would have struggled to chew it.

Always buy Sainsbury's steak, the Picana cut. It's delicious. Apparently it's a Brazilian style cut, very lean, and just melts in the mouth. I cook it medium rare; never had a bad one.

I always have a couple of Ribeye in from Aldi and have found them delicious always serve them medium with a pepper sauce and saute potatoes for a quick and easy meal.

I usually buy any meat from our excellent butcher. Occasionally pick up steak from M and S, its always been good.

Sainsbury's and M&S steak leave a lot to be desired but I have never been disappointed with steaks from Aldi.

Another vote for Aldi and Lidl meat here.

I've always heard good results from both Aldi and Lidl, but why is it that I feel I can't go into those shops ? I can't explain what it is either. I've looked around, that's all, but never bought anything.

You gave steak to the cats?!! Blimey!

Never heard of a nice beef and vegetable stew?
