Phew, I got away with it again!

Wrap it in cooking foil . . . I'm told. Or at least a foil lined bag

I usually put it in a plastic bag and swallow it....oh sh*t sorry wrong forum

I think he means this shape. Maybe it is easier to cook it rare.

A fillet is narrower towards one end, so a 6oz end cut will be thicker than 6oz in the middle.

That piece looks thicker than I like.

That is a crappy looking piece of fillet steak

The marbling is not the issue its the flat shape like its been run over by a car.

lol. It was a decent shape and size when I took it from the shelf. I don’t like them too thin. 2 steaks in that pack. It was one of the first items I bought so it was at the bottom of one of my bags and it’s had a load of other heavy items dumped on top of it and squashing it out of shape. Don't worry, I’ll Pat it back into shape before cooking it.

Bet you never thought your dinner would get so much scrutiny before you even cook it.

That old chestnut

That item wasn’t tagged so he got away with it

Yes on both counts

I thought it would spring back into shape when the vacuum pack comes off.

With sirloin etc. most people buy the one which looks leanest.

Same with pork chops. I love a really fatty, marbled pork chop probably more than I like steak.

That has actually had most of the fat cut off

True!

I was trying to show a picture of one with plenty of internal fat. Because most are bred so lean these days that the chops are pure muscle.

It would definably be better with some more fat left on round the top!

I just love a nice pork chop with apple sauce, mash and veg.

And when was the last time you saw streaky bacon that was any use for barding?

Just jokin'. Paid for it in my scan and shop but didn’t hear any alarms as I was leaving the store.

My local butcher would question that as 'fillet'!
