I swear, I wouldn't have been able to choke it down without some kind of steak sauce. My jaw felt like it ran a marathon when I finished her steaks.
As for ketchup - I love it. Just not on steaks. Love dipping my fries into ketchup. Love ketchup and mayo on burgers (sometimes bbq sauce). I put on it on my eggs too, oh yah - and my meatloaf. And ****, I'll even put it on my shepherd's pies and my meat pies as well. Love that ****.
Now anything with coconut - that's a hate train I'm willing to ride on. **** coconut - tastes nasty and the texture is downright awful.
Didn't see this before my post. Is putting ketchup on Shepherd's pie a New England thing?  |
When I was a little kid mother used to get a big flank steak for special occasions and broil the **** out of it till it was totally brown. **** was like chewing leather but I didn't know any better. She never got better but she did stop eating meat.
