Loved it.   Sam is always great for a laugh around Australia Day.   

[possum52]

We had a good laugh when we saw it this morning. Sam is a character.

I loved the very last scene.

I love lamb, have lamb chops, lamb steaks or un crumbled cutlets once a week, got plenty of mint growing, saw the ad, rather funny. I normally get 4 chops or cutlets for a feed, bottle of shiraz of course.

And left over lamb in a pie.

 

The Wangi Rissole was doing a great feed of crumbed lamb cutlets, choice of 2 or 3 with verges or salad, silly girl asked if I wanted the small or large “Now do I look like someone who orders small?” No more questions asked.

I wish some ships would offer up that type of grub from time to time.

Mum use to do marinated ( in red wine ) lamb backstraps...

they were always called Lamb's Tails at home

 

God they were good   

( I think dad liked them so much   ...because a second bottle of red would come out of the cellar )

 

Cheers Don

On my road trips around Country Nsw the clubs and pubs and cafes have small and large portions, like you, has to be big. I am doing another 3 night roadie this weekend to Cootamundra, looking around, hope i snap a mixed grill, with a couple of lamb cutlets or chops thrown in.

Princess now and then had lamb cutlets or chops or lamb roast, but not often. Time for dinner, buenos noches, senors, senoras, senoritas.

I wish more food places would offer small and large portions Les. I find most serves are too big for me so would appreciate a smaller serve if I wanted it.

Roast lamb was always a treat at our house. My mum, of course, made the best in WA.

 

Then left overs for sandwiches, or mixed with the veggies and gravey on toast, or what past for lamb curry.

We were lucky with relatives and friends who had farms, so often got lovely fresh beast.

My mum evidently didn't have a clue about cooking as a new bride, my dad always says she didn't know how to boil water when they married. But it didn't take long for her to learn to cook wonderful meals. Roasts, casseroles, stews, cakes, sponges, pavs etc were her specialties.  We also had fabulous meat as my grandfather was a butcher and owned two butcher's shops.  My brother has now taken over the cooking under Mum's supervision.

Lamb shank has to be my favourite😁. I either have it French style with red wine, Thai style with South East Asian herbs and spices or Chinese style with a master stock. I also don't mind a lamb shoulder from time to time though it can be a bit fatty🤗.

[MicCanberra]

Love lamb and always have, we didn't have it that often as a kid as my dad didn't like the smell of it cooking.

Funny thing is, we have served it up, we had cooked it outside on the BBQ and he enjoyed it before realising it was lamb.

Have you been to the USA Leigh? Share a meal job, BIG servings, even for a gutster like me.

 

Anyway for example...our local RSL, called the Bay Soldiers Club, huge club, get a small roast (Seniors) Dinner for $10, like 2 spuds and two slices of meat, plus the veggies. OR the large size roast 3 spuds and 3 slices of meat for $13. (Lunch time prices.)

No Les, I haven’t been to the US, don’t really have any interest in going.  The RSLs here usually have Seniors meals and some pubs do but not all. Depending on what I want to eat, I might order a Seniors meal. But sometimes I want something that is not on the Seniors menu, so will order a full sized meal and then can’t eat it all.

The USA is great, so much to see, but not right now.  Seniors meals are ok, but as you say, limited choice. I like chips but some eateries half fill your plate with them.

We went to one Italian restaurant in New York that had ridiculous portion sizes. They claimed they served 2-3 people so we ordered one appetiser and one main between us. Each would have served 4-5 people. Not a good place to go to as a couple but good for big family groups. Even families of six were leaving large amounts uneaten. What a waste!

First time at a fast food burger restaurant in the USA ordered a meal package. What they call a small drink was larger than Australian large size 😱. I thought they made a mistake told them I ordered the small meal the woman behind the counter said that is the small meal 😂. Food trucks I loved their portions were perfect for me otherwise at restaurants I was always asking if I could doggy bag the leftovers which no one ever objected to so I assume it is a pretty common request😁.

One time we had a week in San Francisco post cruise, we stayed at the Marines Memorial Club Hotel downtown. Great hotel, art deco, which is frequented by many US Servicemen and families.  We had dinner there a few nights, well, the bowls of veggies they brought out would have served 6 people, love their creamed spinach and like about half a dozen jacket potatoes for two people.  The steaks were all about 600g and great. Just too much. I could see the Marines staying there left nothing on their plates lol.  Free happy hour, drinks and great snacks, if you have served in any defence force of one of America's allies, then you can stay there.

 

Yes folks, everything is big in America.

No false advertising with this place

We once had a meal a IHOP (International House of Pancakes), each of our meals came on a platter and were large enough to feed both of us and have leftovers. Such a waste.

[getting older slowly]

I think Americans love anything Big... like cars, and burgers   ( don't mind the big cars )

 

I think on Princess they serve a 22oz steak....   I remember one of my work colleagues, order a pounder at McDonald... a quarter pounder  with a mid bun and Four Meat Patties
