The biggest steak tartare in Melbourne.

I probably should have divided the steak tartare between the four of us. But I didn’t. I persevered with the spicy concoction that is about the size of a ground-up domestic pet.

“It’s a lot of meat,” is all I could think to say.

I looked at this blog for the first time after reading about it in the Herald Sun. My immediate impression was please check the spelling. In 30 seconds I saw steal tartare, St Kild and resemple.
I won’t even mention the lack of apostrophes.
Call me a pedant, but if you want credibility you need to get these things right IMHO.

Pietro,
Thanks for the comments but with or without the Herald Sun this blog has some cred already. You are right there are plenty of spelling mistakes and typos on here. I’m not paid for this, don’t have a spell check on this package or have the luxury of a team of editors. I post when I have time often being rushed by my wife or between paid jobs and often don’t have the time to reread in detail - hence the mistakes. What does IMHO mean??? Anymore sub-editing when you have time will be welcome. I can’t beleive it, I even forgot a headline. All mostly now corrected on this and the other story.

Thanks for appreciating the comments. If you were John Howard you’d deny everything.

I’d be happy to sub-edit. What exactly would be involved? Maybe you weren’t serious.

IMHO is cyber-speak for “in my humble opinion”.

I know I should be more careful and will make more effort. Sometimes I should wait before posting rather than rushing it (as i am now as I dash out to a meeting). Don’t worry about the sub-editing, it would destroy the immediacy (spelling?). Cheers

I can only imagine how you spent the rest of the night after so much *meat*.
And I’m not talking about sub-editing…

Ed 03.06.07 at 6:30 pm

Kylie,
Let your imagination go on this one. i ate several other meats later the same day!

Is that why there were so many typos - were you typing one-handed?

Steak tartare is a great dish when done well.

I had my first steak tartare at Bim’s in East Melbourne. Anyone remember Bim’s? Didn’t think so. It later became Gowings, then Joyeux - Joy Snedden’s place - and then Erich Mohr’s Le Gourmet.
