manxchatterbox Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 FROM next week, pubs and restaurants will have to clearly indicate on their menus where their beef comes from. A new regulation which comes into force on July 3 means that steaks and other beef dishes will have to indicate clearly the "country of origin" of the steaks and beef dishes on their menus. Some restaurateurs and publicans say that this will cause them enormous difficulties as they will have to keep changing their menus according to whether their suppliers are providing Irish, Brazilian, German beef or beef from other countries. If this can be done elsewhere why can't it be done with IOM restauarnts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can afford fillet steak?! Peasanty rump or frying steak for me every time and that's rare enough. Get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Same here Cret, although I have never understood the attraction of fillet steak. Tender? Yes. But tasty? No. Ribeye is the best in my book. BTW, I don't understand the connection between fillet steak coming from a cow and the price. Hang on, I suppose steaks come from bullocks as the females will be kept for milk, is that the reason?
