USDA Prime 21 day Aged Beef Loin NY Strip Steak Boneless 2 - 1" Thick Overview
USDA Prime 21 Days Aged Boneless Beef Loin NY Strip Steak. The strip steak is one of the highest quality beef steaks on the market[citation needed]. In the United States and Canada it is also known as striploin, shell steak, Delmonico, Kansas City or New York strip steak. In the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, Cut from the strip loin part of the sirloin, the strip steak consists of a muscle that does little work, and so it is particularly tender, though not as tender as the nearby ribeye or tenderloin (fat content of the strip is somewhere between these two cuts, allowing for a flavor profile to match). Unlike the nearby tenderloin, the strip loin is a sizable muscle, allowing it to be cut into the larger portions favored by many steak eaters. The Kansas City strip steak usually has a portion of the bone connected, whereas the New York strip steak is boneless. Always fresh, never frozen. All our USDA Prime meat is custom cut to order, wrapped in trays with film paper and double wrap in wax paper. Not vacuum pack.( it loses the flavor ) We chill the meat to preserve the freshness for shipping onlyCustomer Reviews

However, one thing they all have in base is that they all serve alcohol.
Beer, lager, wines and spirits are available in all pubs and bars, with mixers nowadays costing as much as the alcohol!
The English tradition of bars and pubs started way back in the Bronze Age and Roman Times with taverns, a place where weary travellers could get a bed for the night and a few tankards of ale and a bite to eat to help them on their way.
In 965 King Edgar decreed that there was to be just one 'alehouse' for habitancy to drink in each settlement as every home was turning into a meeting place to buy, drink ale and gossip.
Hostelries took the place of monasteries for travellers, who were originally mostly pilgrims.
London Hostellers were awarded Guild status in 1446 and later in 1514 the guild became the 'Worshipful company of Innholders'...what a grand title for a London publican that would be these days!
Pub signs appeared colse to these times to aid habitancy in finding the local pubs, as well as with pictures for those who could not read!!
Most bars and pubs these days also serve food, in general 'pup grub' as it's affectionately called, but it is good English 'pub grub'.
• Fish and chips
• Sausage and mash
• Pork pies and beans
• Steak and kidney pud
• Burger and chips
• Toasted sandwiches
• Jacket potatoes
• Apple pie or crumble with lashings of custard
• And for Sundays the customary Sunday roast, beef, pork, chicken or lamb.
In my view this is still the best sort of food, good basic meat and two veg...drowned with lots of gravy, yum.
London pubs were at one time run by families, passed down until there were three, even four generations to greet customers from the same family.
Nowadays, though many London pubs are still run by the same families, many have been absorbed into nationwide chains, Whitbread, Weatherspoons, the Slug and Lettuce, and though there are some good points to be in a group, a lot of the private atmosphere is lost.
The London pubs are having a hard time with laws and restrictions being passed, the hardest for them being the non-smoking rule.
However, London pubs are still the best place for habitancy to meet and socialise.
Whether after work for a quick pint, an evening out with friends, a extra celebration or for a few before hitting the night clubs, the London pub will all the time be there.
