Over the weekend I went to a nice unpretentious restaurant that I've become a regular with some friends (and a date) for almost a year now. I love a good steak and The Shires hits the spot every time I go, especially the rump. I get mine cooked blue and it's perfect everytime. This was from my last visit:
Much to the chagrin/joy of some here, I do not like peas at all, so they were soon put to one side, but the other accompaniments where brilliantly cooked, the chips had a lovely colour this time. And the shot everyone wants from a previous visit:
I'd recommend the place to anyone, it's half way between Scunny and Caenby Corner in a little hamlet called Gainsthorpe, just off the A15.

That steak does look fantastic!
Tried Aldis Smash Burgers last night, which some random social media story that ended up in my timeline compared to 5 Guys. Probably a bit of a stretch but they were very good - tasty but didn't overpower the toppings, and were lean enough that the burgers didn't disintegrate or squirt juice everywhere.
Toppings were fried onions, Jarlsberg cheese, some Dijon mustard and ketchup, with brioche buns and some chips.
Definitely picking up more of them.

Absolutely no denying that the Ribeye was superb, but the buttery Jersey Royals (first I've had this year!) were the dogs b
ks!
Where were the Jerseys' from? All the supermarket ones I've had have been sks! t compared to the really expensive ones I've had from our local garden centre who get them direct from a small supplier on the Island.jerryjerry44 said:

arrived with your meal, so you have the choice of God's favourite veggie.And the side dish of steak looks decent, as well.

Nice, I fancy giving this a go. It would be nice made with lamb mince.Blown2CV said:
If it is Lao Gan Ma, the manufacturer, they have many different products. Fried Chili, Crispy Chili, Black bean, Tofu, etc. I went to Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world apparently, to get some "Chili Oil", but was thrown by the selection. Other areas in the Philippines have the more well-known products. Not sure how comprehensive the UK is.I use Fried Chili in Oil and Spicy Chili Crisp the majority of the time.
Here is a comprehensive overview of all the Lao Gan Ma selection:
