I remember one of my work colleagues, order a pounder at McDonald... a quarter pounder with a mid bun and Four Meat Patties Don They’d love me then, though looking at some reports I might be a bit thin for them.

They claimed they served 2-3 people so we ordered one appetiser and one main between us. Each would have served 4-5 people. Not a good place to go to as a couple but good for big family groups. Even families of six were leaving large amounts uneaten. What a waste! With a tour group of Aussies we stopped for lunch at a restaurant and one lady in the group wasn't very hungry so she ordered a Caesar salad entree.😀😃😄😆😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally get 4 chops or cutlets for a feed, bottle of shiraz of course. You (and Sam K) left out one of my lamb favourites. Crumbed lambs brains with Worcestershire sauce.

Oh dear! LOL sounds very weird, right? If you've done high school French you would know that "entree" means "to enter" - as in entering a room or a meal? So it would seem that Americans can neither speak English nor French? 😉 Have my trusty Shield of Power ready to deflect incoming barbs and arrows.

Roger88 Posted January 13, 2021 #5214 Share Posted January 13, 2021 French vowels are very similar to German ones. If you speak any of those languages you shouldnt have any pronunciation problems. In any case you will be corrected if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC is ducking and weaving. 😷 In the 1800s Entree was the third dish in a formal French menu whereas what we today call Main would be the fourth dish. Over time formal menus were reduced to a basic three menu plan. No one is really clear why but in UK English which is what Australia mostly follows we took the third, fourth and sixth dishes which became Entree, Main Dessert while USA took the second, third and sixth dish which became Appetizer, Entree, Dessert. So personally I blame the French for making it complicated in the first place😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did once have a pork and Guinness infused sausage which was pretty tasty 😊. Though I did prefer the Guinness and lamb pot pie😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted January 23, 2021 #5221 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Beer and beef go very well together in stews and pies so why not in a sausage? Interesting to see the best mix included pork though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steam is nice to smell and the lingering taste in the onions is nice as well. 1 hour ago, GUT2407 said: Done right it should be a bit of both. My uncle always poured beer on his steak while BBQing. Sometimes on -ur-owe even. I do it right. No beer on the steak, I prefer a seasoning/rub, as you don't want the steak to be stewed in beer, it gets to tough without any colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
