What a whoppa! by maggiemae

What a whoppa!

Didn't get any decent photos on the way here in the train so posted this one of the guy's meal next to me in the restaurant bar. That steak was 18 Ibs ( I think I mean ounces don't I?) and you can see how thick it is! His wife says he needs it - works 14 hours a day!

Three good things:
1. I didn't choose a steak but ribs which were delicious with cole slaw (my favourite vegetable mix)
2. In Plattsburgh and so interesting to learn of the history - the Battle of Plattsburgh was held on the nearby lake in 1812! Imagine all those sailing ships blasting out their cannons in a lake!
3. The air conditioner in our room comes on every 1/2 hour and sounds like a train roaring through the room! Gives one quite a fright - every 1/2 hour! Not much sleep! Good thing was the bed was comfy.
I think you are right. 181 pounds would be as big as a man. As it is this is a huge steak. Glad you weren't trying to eat it. Terrific shot of it.

@seattlite It ddid actually work, Gloria - it was so hot that the current of cool air was welcome in spite of the noise!

What a gluttonous guy !! -- I am more interested to try and see hat his wife has on her plate !!

What a big-un, lets hope his eyes weren't bigger than his stomack, or that would have been a mis-steak.

Wow, that's quite a steak. I like your POV for this shot. Nice composition.

@beryl I didn't really take note of what she had, Beryl Looks like broccoli and some other stuff!

That is one big steak!

Looks like the sort of thing my hubby eats! xx

I thought at first she had her hand on his knee but I see it just looks like she has. I thought he was twice lucky there & would need his steak for energy! A very odd arrangement of food on his plate. Is his gravy in a dish & all those other pots would drive me mad, tip them all out on the plate! Hers looks much healthier. Ribs woukd be very tasty!

Wow.. that's one big steak. I'd be done after 3 bites but my husband could eat it!

Washed down with an equally large glass of red!

@jaffacakes You noticed that! John had to have a quarterainer or whatever they called it - 1 and 1/2 glasses!

@happypat From what wifey says, he is a superman - does everything! He's not plump so maybe all that protein goes to good use!

That is one huge steak, would outface me. It also looks quite rare. It looks an interesting way of serving a steak with lots of little bits in pots.
June 13th, 2016  
@shirleybankfarm Yes they seem to like serving sauces and condiments in pots. As @happypat says, tip 'em all on the plate and dip whatever it is in!

Massive slab of beef. Interesting plate-full.
June 14th, 2016  
Wow that's huge nice shot

June 14th, 2016
