      I've had beef carpaccio and love it, but have never tried tartare…Is it good?

        I do tend to cook my pork tinged pink in the center, which is a practice that used to be verboten, in part due to fears of trichinosis, which isn't super likely these days to my understanding.

        Totally true. One of the best culinary purchases I've ever made, if not the best, is a Thermapen. I remember cooking pork tenderloin and nailing it right at 145 for the first time. It was completely revelatory. I just thought about all the ropey, overdone stuff my parents had fed me in my youth and thought holy shit, we've been doing it all wrong haha…

          Oh it's SO good. With a quail egg, maybe some capers and some good toast. Damn I'm hungry now too.

              Great discussion of perceptions…

              RAW CHICKEN???? THAT IS GROSS!!!

              That would’ve been our likely reactions to raw fish 40 or so years ago. The sushi worldwide fad took care of that right?

              Any guesses which will be the first major european or US city to offer specialty raw chicken?  😃 😃 😃 😃
              Probably a hamburger shop across the street from some IH retailer!!!

              The journey is the objective.

                There have been restaurants serving chicken sashimi in NYC for years.

                  See what happens when @Alex and @Giles skip a day of posting FW pics.  We go right off the rails with hours of chicken tartare shenanigans.  Let’s see those anniversary jeans!

                    Perhaps the main reason for going to Japan was to discuss the future of Iron Heart.  Haraki is a shade older than me and wants to cut back a bit.  He has never really had a solid succession plan, this has been a concern for years.

                    I can't say too much at the moment, but we have an amazing way forward, in many ways better than mine, Paula's or Alex's wildest dreams.

                    Suffice to say, I truly believe we have a solution that will secure the future of Iron Heart for many years to come, will allow us to grow and secure the long-term future for all of our staff, both in the UK and back in Japan.

                    There's many a slip betwixt cup and lip, and we still have a lot of details to work out, but we are in a good place….

                                    “Mmmmmm, this is nice what is it?”

                                    “Energy drink for kids”

                                    Wow. This takes me back. This Oronamin C drink was all over the Middle-East when I was growing up. My friends' house was full of it because their Arabic parents didn't realise it was mostly caffeine. I'd come home from spending time at their place bouncing off the walls. Didn't realise it was Japanese - I recall that the stuff for the ME market had English labelling.

                                    Take the dive...
