I often buy their meat special offers as they are very good value and the meat is good. Used up this weekend (one last night and the other tonight) a twin 7.5oz each steak pack for circa £4.50. Lovely 0.75" thick steaks, which my steak knife cut through like going trough butter and they melted in my mouth.

With both of them, spot on with the cooking time so they were medium-rare.

We buy a lot from there always very good.

I buy all my meat and fish in Costco.

burnt ... .. if its not still capable of mooing its overcooked....   (most people reckon a good vet could resuscitate my beef and lamb ..      )

How can you eat live meat? It has to have a brown overcoat, cooked through and NO PINK for me!

Agreed... "How would you like your steak cooked sir?"

I've eaten marinated raw beef in the US. Very nice it was too.

If I ever see something on a menu I haven't eaten before, I have to give it a try.

[Varche]

Top man. You would do well in Spain.

A few years back we were in darkest Catalunia. Workers restaurant only had a verbal menu delivered by a busy waiter in some diallect. I caught the word cerdo. The dish was very nice but was a pigs trotter. More energy expounded looking for meat than gained!

They have quail breasts in our Lidl in season. Excellent and cracking value.

[Doctor Gollum]

My Uncle did similar in a ramshackle Victorian hotel in Dinard, Brittany, following a cancelled flight back to Guernsey...

Only it was horse, and not its feet both of which were apparent when served

Fair play though, he ate it

Same here. Nothing more disgusting than pushing a fork into meat on your plate and blood oozing out. If it isn't cooked right through I send it back.
Another reason I consider the French ignorant and uncivilised. 
As Elvis Presley said "I want a meal, not a pet".   

Only tried Lidl meat once. I wasn't impressed tbh. I find Sainsburys hard to beat, if somewhat expensive.

[Bigron]

I was beginning to think that I was "the only one in step", Migv6, in liking my meat that way. Most chefs on the food programmes like it alive and bleeding, including Michel Roux, whom I like - but he is french, so what can you expect? Barbarians all! 

Ron.

P.S. Nige, YOU are allowed to have your meat that way, because I will never forget how you helped me last year.....

Ron.

Yep. Same for me. I won't eat meat so rare that a good vet could get it back on it's feet again.

I don't mind it slightly pink inside, but blood swimming around the plate....nah......makes the chip go all red and soggy for a start!

[Kevin Wood]

Rare Properly cooked steak doesn't ooze blood, it's a protein that happens to be red in colour.

Once you've overcooked the steak it goes grey and the meat dries out so there's precious little liquid to carry it out of the meat in solution and no red to colour the juices anyway.

The meat has no blood in it following slaughter and hanging.
