OK, here is a taste sensation for you inspired by the 'how do you like your steak' thread.

I lived in Asia for 6 years and it was my favourite dish in Thailand, took me ages to find a decent recipe as its not something you would get in a Restraunt over here as its  a pretty rustic dish in many ways.

Nam Tok Nua (waterfall beef)

Prepare some ground toasted rice (dry roast some dry rice in a frying pan till it starts browning and smells toasted, then grind in a coffee grinder till really fine)

Decent steaks marinated in 2tbsp Soy sauce, 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce and 1 Tbsp Palm sugar

This can be cooked under a grill or ideally on a BBQ to your liking, leave them to rest 5 mins in tin foil then slice into thinnish strips

For the topping mix

1 Whole Lime juiced

a bit less than the same amount of fish sauce (so if the lime juice is 4 TBsp, use 3-3.5 Tbsp of fish sauce

1Tbsp Palm sugar

Mix all this together

Finely chop about 3 shallots and 4 spring onions

Finely chop equal amounts (a good handful of each) of corriander, Basil (Holy Bail if you can get it) and mint

As much flaked chilli as you dare

Mix this onion/herb mixture in with the lime/fish sauce 

Top the steaks with this mixture

Sprinkle on a good portion of ground toasted rice 

Serve ideally with Thai Sticky rice (glutinous rice) or Jasmine if you cant find that.

Enjoy! Let me know if you try it

Cremated. I'd never choose steak if it can possibly be avoided, but if it's the only option, the blood can stay the **** off my plate. I like my meat to be indistinguishable from anything that's ever been alive.

Its not actually blood apparently but an easy mistake to make!

Depends on the quality of the steak TBH, medium rare normally but rare for a nice good quality meat

Lovely Jubbly

Oh ****, shit just got real

Every single result the worst case scenario as it stands

Mmmm, not sure how I feel about this, could be a massive positive or negative for us.....

Boringly predictable result

Boring Lampard

Delph and Sylla excellent

Delph MOM for me, his driving runs really moved us forward all match.

I stinkpalmed right wing warmongering godbotherer Tony Blair when he opened the new school building I worked in, he was very tall. Proud of this one

I stole 20 pounds out of my grans purse when I stayed over once and bought some 'Battle of the Planets' spaceships from Woolworths with it when I was about 11, not so proud of this one

Could turn out to be effectively 4 pts with the huge boost to our goal difference.

Defence- shaky in the first half, solid second. Vlaar is an enigma in that its no surprise we have become a more solid team since his return from injury, at the same time our defence is weak as he is our 'best' defender. I would be happier if he was our 2nd best defender. 

Bennet is growing as a player each match as he gets experience. If he can bulk up a bit over teh summer I think he will be a good player for us.

Lowton joint MOM for me, constant attacking threat and solid in defence, almost played as a winger at times.

I really like our midfield trio, it has a nice balance of craft workrate, physicality and intelligence. Provides a really solid base for our strikers. All were excellent today.

OUr forwards also have a nice blend, pace and strength of Gabby, workrate and runs of Andi and Benteke is the complete package.

I think if we can stay up and Lambert can pull 3 players out of the bag of the same standard as Lowton, Westood and Benteke for 15 million each year we have a bright future.

I have to say lowton has been brilliant so far going forward

Gil Scott Heron's dad played for Celtic.

Get the **** out of here!!!

Is that really true?

Of so, for some reason I find that amazing

Well, at least we are playing well, should have had all 3 points.

Delph MOM for me who was excellent despite the own goal and missed sitter 

Wow, goal of the season, might just keep us up

If we can't beat a team as shit as stoke paying this badly we deserve to go down

I feel really fortunate to have watched Macca week in week out at his prime. It was awesome, a catalogue of faultless performances. I think all capped off in italia 90 when he was MoM with a colossus display in the 1-0 win over the hosts.

That was in America 1994, but yes, incredible performance! 

For Villa, McGrath, absolutely sublime, effortless.

Other teams

WEIRDLY Kanu playing for Nigeria in the 1998 world cup, they lost but he was astonishingly good in the flesh that day, really stuck in my head.

But probably actually Romario, he must have been getting on a bit (this was 1999) he was playing for Santos I think in a cup semi final against Botafogo in the maracana, he was absolutely on a different planet, a true magician. Wish I had managed to see him in his prime.

Classic Space lego!!!!! My two early favourites. The only options at this time was city-type stuff and Space. Technic came later

Wow I had this (the second one) so many memories flooding back when I saw it  

Guzan and Benteke Excellent

Poor overall 

Any half decent side would have buried us with the amount of headers Reading won in our box

Bannan awful again, they should have scored from that

Both teams laughably shit at the moment, cant male 2 passes in a row

I am liking the look of Sylla despite a few ragged passes

Bannan dog turd

Bannan??

FFS

I would have preferred Holman TBH

Gaddafi, of course, but you're piling Chavez into the same boat simply because (some sections of) the media do too, and he quite clearly wasn't, not by a long bloody shot.

 

 

The media have no influence on my opinions.

HAHAHAHA

This statement alone discredits eveything you say

Probably not this, but it definitely WAS the best game ever when I played it on magic mushrooms......

Of course

please please PLEASE don't just start defending like we always do now until the inevitable goal is conceded

thanks
