LOL. I did mean Monday. It was a hygiene thing about no meat production on Sunday. I was impressed. I don't recall eating fish on Fridays! As often as not, I'd go to the Alamo Steak House on Jerozolimskie near the Sobieski (It's gone now). Btw, that was Argentinian beef. They put on Horse Steak one week; beautifully cooked, but the meat was too dense for my palette; I didn't enjoy it.

I meant the Alamo had gone - but now I've found it in Streetview! I don't live there now (I had a flat in Zoliborz).

In my day, there were no Indian restaurants on that strip. There was the Taj on Plac Konstytuci, run as a money laundering operation by a Singaporean and his Polish business partner (they built PCs for export to Belarus using Singapore parts). They became good friends of mine and I brought Okra & Coriander to them from The UK when they were unavailable in Warsaw. Don't know what happened to that restaurant. He also opened a Thai restaurant in Stare Miasto.

Btw, if you want something other than steak in Warsaw, the BLISS Chinese in Mariensztat is more than worth a visit if you haven't already been there.

I wouldnt touch supermarket steak wiuth a barge pole.

Some of the best steak I've had was in France from local Salers cows.

I do like a good blue cheese sauce on the top.

Blue cheese spoils anything. Good steak really doesn't need any sauce.

I beg to differ: Roquefort?

Disagree - I like to have a pot of warm sauce on the side, to dip the steak or chip in, if required - my favourites are peppercorn, blue cheese, or Diane (occasionally garlic butter).

Another sold disagree here - a good bone marrow sauce adds extra 'oomph' Bearnaise & Peppercorn add another dimension

I like peppercorn sauce (goes well with guinea fowl too) but what I said was that good steak doesn't need it. It is good for dipping the chips. But I refuse to move on the blue cheese. I don't like some over matured cheddars where these is a hint of blue veining, it taints the whole cheese.

Banacha - I know that street. It's off the road to the airport.
I attended hospital there for dealing with eating too much steak, chicken livers and rye bread!

Good if you're on expenses for Jeff's!

Duck eggs too rich for me.
