The lunch was canceled. I'm thinking Putin is afraid of being poisoned. He's a paranoid little guy.

I tried it and it was ok to me, probably won't get it again. My cousin and uncle get Filet Mignon w/ Oscar topping every time.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.  I didn't realize this was a pissing match.

Rusty started the thread and you expected something interesting and intelligent?

I too don't like name brand sauce. I look for local that balance sweet with heat, or make my own for BBQ. I even go Carolina mustard sauce for pulled pork. If you're from Texas and want to say good BBQ doesn't need sauce that's a fine argument to have. But saying it about upscale steak when the sauce is specially made and optionl to compliment the dish, like you said, is ridiculous.

Exactly. Like Beir mentioned in the earliest of reply’s. Enhanced natural juices are not a sauce. To think people are consulting steak house websites to prove a point is mind boggling

The argument started with Rusty having a problem with Trump planning to serve Putin steak with a brandy peppercorn sauce.  

With salt and pepper being the only acceptable choice according to him.    HTH. 

But to be fair Rusty is a poor communicator and left out the background to his pissing match.

Not s much a pissing match as it was pointing out the ignorance of saying Real men don't put brandy peppercorn sauce on a filet mignon.

God damn it.  I was all in on the no sauce side of this p#ssing match, and then you had to go and mention brandy peppercorn sauce!!!  That changes EVERYTHING.  FML.

Sorry, I'm a no sauce guy as well but I won't judge those that are sauce guys by saying they are not real men

Of course.    I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons they're not real men.

There were bannings before that, mostly aliases, if there were multiple accounts assigned to one IP addy the first one would be left active and the others would be banned if they were posting outside FFMike's rules

Thread made me hungry. Steak bites on top of cabbage for lunch. Dressed with a Memphis style with heat BBQ sauce.  

It would have been edible with just salt and pepper, but damn, the sauce really set if off.

What about judging people for saying (and probably making it up) that they don’t eat beef at all?

Lol. 

I let a guy put cattle on my back 6 acres.  Know what that means?  Beef = Free

But why are you crying about that?  You don't eat beef. What's the price of tofu?

I did that for a couple of years. My vet told me to get prepared because my Dobberman was getting old. So I researched about holistic pet foods. When I saw what went into pet food and what was passed on to us it grossed me out so much I didn't eat beef or chicken for about 2 years. Steak broke me down.

OH, I started cooking for my dog and she lived to be 15, which is good for a Warlock Doberman. 

[Sean Mooney 1,994]

Too many variables here to pick one of the extremes.

But a fine, expensive cut of meat shouldn't need anything. A steak cooked improperly probably will need something regardless of the expensive nature. 

[TheNewGirl 1,530]

Anytime I've made filets or NY Strip I only use salt/pepper, butter, rosemary and garlic. Never needs anything else.

Why would people make up not eating beef? 

I didn't eat red meat or pork (not even bacon) from the age of 13 to 40. Why would I make that up? 

WGAF if I eat red meat or not?

[TheNewGirl 1,530]

Tim: I don't eat beef. 

Also Tim: HAHAHAHAH! NO I don't! I was just making that up.

That post was in response to @thegeneral.  @thegeneral, do you eat beef?  To me that read like @Horseman, the guy whose go to porn site is gaywebcam.com (NTTAWWT), trying to make a joke about thegeneral not being a “real man.”  Maybe he has said he doesn’t eat beef, Horseman is a weirdo that keeps 3-ring binders of notes about all the posters he argues with.

Only if the sauce is ketchup.

He probably heard about the sauce, and was like, "I'd rather be poisoned like a real man."

I hadn’t weighed in on this.

I eat meat, prefer no sauce.
