[ibizaboy]

just received an invite to a friends wedding, select from the menu......." a slade of beef". nope sorry, never heard of it and its not even pat of a cow from a picture on Wikipedia.
anyone any ideas please.?????. thanks.

[emmie]

its called a slade of beef, google it, that's what appeared.

[ummmm]

No Mikey, it isn't pretentious, it's the name of the cut of meat just like rump, sirloin, fillet...etc

[mikey4444]

Baldric....as I thought then....just a slab of meat, given a new pretentious name !

[Mamyalynne]

What part of the animal is a 'slade' of beef from? Can you provide more detail.

I am intrigued.

[ummmm]

No it isn't Mikey. It's always been about but was very much underused.

[Baldric]

I just Googled, all I got was references to Slade Farm and its produce.

[Mamyalynne]

Nothing new or pretentious about Blade steak, how on earth does it get it's name?

Look where it's from.

Ill have the chicken Ta !

[EcclesCake]

Mikey, when you go to a restaurant do you just ask for a slab of meat or order the cut of your choice?

[Mamyalynne]

Chicken's off, we have some lamb though.

[bednobs]

veggie option for me please

[Flonska]

Ibizaboy . . . . given the way this is panning out - why not choose something else from the menu - try the vegetarian option perhaps?

[murraymints]

With mint jus ? A few roasties and veg..Will do nicely.... never heard of a slade !

[Baldric]

Emmie, give us a Link please, that will solve it.

[emmie]

oh well, perhaps as others have suggested try the chicken or veggie option..

[Mamyalynne]

All the trimmings MM.

[murraymints]

Please..... any strawberry trifle for pud ?

[Mamyalynne]

I was thinking a Crème brûlée with vanilla ice cream.

[emmie]

Why is everything to some pretentious when they don't understand something?
