There's a valid reason why it's gone viral but I've got an opinion I need to share...
It’s not even midday in the middle of the week and a crowd has already formed outside one of the Christmas Markets stalls on New Cathedral Street.
To go with your choice, you can also add to it any of the following three extras - peppercorn sauce , wild garlic butter or the show-stopping melted Raclette cheese for £4. And that’s exactly what I went for with my steak frites. With the comforting smell of grilled steak wafting through the air around me and the many others waiting patiently for their orders, one person passes and, noting the queues, says in a distinct Manchester accent: “To be fair, it does smell good, you know.” Another, as they give an impressive ‘ooh’ of approval at the melting half-wheel on display, says: “That cheese looks mega.” So far, so good.
Pulling a piece of steak from the tray, a layer of the oozy cheese comes with it and leaves a satisfying string of melted goodness in its tracks. Tucking in, it’s delightful with a very pleasant grilled taste to it. The richness of the cheese just adds to proceedings. I can’t see how, realistically, the traders could make it any cheaper without cutting down on quality or portions, but spending £14 on cheesy chips and steak to then have to walk through town carrying it around in a plastic tray doesn’t exactly leave me feeling like I've had a good meal out.
I guess I am just perhaps no longer someone who thinks it is a treat having a meal outside in the freezing cold while standing next to a wooden hut.
