My fave pub meal has been ruined! Went for lunch yesterday at the mighty, mighty, Malet Arms in Newton Toney.
Been eating Malet burgers for years, always rare, as Noel (The landlord/chef) really knows his meat and really cares about the quality of his signature dish. He’s now been told by environmental health types that he’s not allowed to serve it rare any more. In all the years I’ve eaten there, I’ve never heard so much as a peep of anyone getting food poisoning, let alone catching death or something.
Surely if a pub/restaurant can prove the quality of their meat and overall hygiene etc, I should be able to order it raw if I want to. Grrr.
Had the belly pork instead in a fit of rage. Was excellent.
