I couldn't believe my eyes down at Farmfoods. There in the frozen food compartment was a pile of Steak Canadian! Those flat wafer-thin steaks that fried in seconds!
Wow! Cor! Did that bring back memories. Back in the mid 1970's I'd invite mates round to listen to rockers like Budgie, Skynyrd and Rush on the music-centre in my Folks' breakfast room. I'd raid the chest freezer in the shed and grab some steak canadian. Then I'd peel spuds, slice 'em up and make fab home-made chips. Topped off with marrowfat peas, it was the real reason my rockin' mates came round! 😃 Sometimes I'd change the menu to include frozen chicken and mushroom pies - with my own gravy. I even knew how to make a roux! I was way better at cooking age 14 than I am now!
I shall once again relive those halcyon days soon and make the steak Canadian special again and crank up the stereo. Alas, the rockin' boys are distant memories now.
Did you, do you like Steak Canadian? 🎸
Dont remember these at all Woodsy, but then, we didnt have a freezer or fridge.
ReplyDeleteI bet you were thrilled when you got one Mish.
DeleteWe call them Philly Steak here in New Jersey.They're big, messy,and totally delicious sandwiches that I have to eat in moderation now that I'm older.Some popular toppings are cheese(cheddar or provolone)Grilled onions and sweet peppers,lettuce ,tomato and raw onions,or "pizza steak" with marinara sauce and mozzarella.
ReplyDeleteBlimey, they sound fabulous Brian. Pizza Steak is making my mouth water!
DeleteI have no idea what a Steak Canadian is - this is the first time I have encountered the term. So I have no idea if I have ever eaten it.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in a freezer in an obscure chain of NZ supermarkets Steak Canadian has your name on it Paul!
