" don't care for bleu with beef, which to me just makes the beef taste like it's several days past its "serve-by" date, "
I see your point , or at least can taste it. i also don't know too much about the Spotted Pig
maybe the bleu [ far more flavorful than blue ] on the burger was to evoke exceptionally well aged beef ?
if an item was cooked into a dish , you are foolish to ask for it to be removed. GBP's cooked into a dish
even if removed after cooking leave you w a dish flavored with GBP's
reminds me of a story from La Belle France
that I just made up : the Patron entered the 5 star restaurant in Dijon , France
looking forward to a magnificent meal. after careful study of the voluminous menu ,
he asked the waiter for the Boeuf Bourguignon, but w/o the Boeuf,
maybe the Chef would substitute chicken instead ?
the Waiter , nonplused , said " Qui "
Pointing to the menu , " we have that dish right here : Coq au Vin ! "
smiles all around !
and I may not be able to hit the MR until the Urchins are given candy.
but it might rain ! maybe hard !
