FabSwingers.com forum: What do you order when out for dinner?

By (user no longer on site) OP

I usually order the same thing.

A steak with all the trimmings + peppercorn sauce. It's the one thing I don't cook at home, I can never get it as nice as the restaurants do.

Do you repeat order or try new things

Usually chicken. Not a fan of red meat. Always start with pate and toast.

I don't have a 'go to' dish, unless it's Indian food and they will make me a keema biryani.

Never a steak as I've found no two places seem to cook them the same, I therefore tend to go for fish.

I'm very much a let's try something new type, I'll scan for something that I've never had before. Sometimes it's glorious but other times it fails miserably. It's a fun ride either way.

If there's nothing new the next choice would be chefs special or ask for a recommendation.

Usually fish and chips, as I'm safe with that, but I recently had a tuna salad minus the onions and red cabbage that was really nice.

I haven't had steak in years.

Veggie food is still surprisingly scarce in mainstream restaurants. It’s usually something out of the freezer.

We have "go to" restaurants for particular dishes we enjoy, but we've stopped going to most city centre places, especially London. The general city centre vibe seems to have changed in the last 5 years or so and we'd rather eat in a relaxed environment than a war zone

I do like to try new things though, and thankfully have a knack for choosing nice stuff. Himself gets food and drink envy quite a lot, but he does tend to order things that he's had before and knows he likes

I don't order the same thing all the time. But I do have fish more often than not when out, for the same reason as OP, I'm not very good at cooking it at home.

This "Golden Boy" you speak of sounds more like a crime scene than a meal. Those other flavours would overpower a good cut of Wagyu.

It's the word's most expensive burger apparently. Never had it as not found anyone to pay for it yet. Had plenty of chip butties though

As a rule i very rarely eat the same meal because i love trying different places to eat. But if i have favourite it has to be shellfish of some type. It could be Lobster, Crab, Langoustine or Muscles. But unless they are cooked in some way i have not tried before then i'm more likely to go to Lamb or Beef.
