It is a waste if you consider the amount of work and resources that went into producing it to ensure the highest quality and uniqueness of the product. Getting a cut of prime meat well-done or mixing single malt Scotch with cola means dumping all the flavour and unique character as at that point there's no difference between it and cheaper/lower quality product, of course it's a waste. Also Johnnie Walker Blue is an over-priced blended Scotch that isn't worth the price at all.

Alonso and Honda, haha... Sato wins the race. Horrible crash involving Dixon and Howard earlier!

That's really not the point. Certain meats reach maximum tenderness, juiciness and flavour when prepared in a certain way due to the fat distribution and texture. For most cuts of steaks (rib-eye, t-bone, tenderloin, etc), it happens to be medium rare, while top sirloin is best served rare, while the likes of flank, skirt, short ribs or hanger steak reach the optimal tenderness and juiciness when cooked to medium (since those are tougher cuts and thus the connective tissues need time to render). Of course it's your prerogative to eat it the way you like it, but you are not getting the best out of your high quality cut if you order it well-done. It's a bit like mixing your single malt with coke, in the end it's just a waste of good Scotch.

WTF. Argentine beef and their steakhouses are among the best in the world...

Beef and chicken, then sometimes pork (lean cuts are ok, the rest too fat), duck, veal. Rarely eat lamb or turkey, never had rabbit. Wild boar meat is great, but not something you come across every day... I actually like frog meat too haha. Also love fish and seafood in general.

The best duck I ever had was roasted duck breast in red wine-raspberry sauce and blue cabbage and orange salad, it was incredible... Nice meat. ribeye steak can be bone-in or boneless, he probably had the latter

Hehe, whole cuts of meat such a steak can only be contaminated with bacteria on the outside, it gets destroyed by cooking so rare beef is safe even if the middle of the meat is red. I get it though, I love carpaccio and Mett (spiced raw ground pork), but have to stay away from it in this part of the world because I'm unsure of the hygiene in the kitchen and the freshness of meat, so it can get nasty...

Well-done steak is just a ruined steak, it should be a crime... I prefer rare or medium rare myself.

I once had an egg on a pizza... It was fucking weird, but hungover me kind of enjoyed it.

That's a good price, delivery costs would be exorbitant though Yes, tried it a few times when I was in Wuppertal. That was over 10 years ago though, so I don't know which one it was...

Looks fantastic! Send me a keg

I have similar feelings about sugar-daddy clubs, not anywhere near to the same degree though. I don't personally like or support the concept (I'm old school and for me, football's too commercialised as it is already), but I don't really care either because those are not German clubs, and most importantly, because all other clubs in their league have equal playing ground - as in any club can sell themselves if they want to and manage to find someone willing to take over. Which is not the case in Germany due to the 50+1 rule as you probably know, so basically some clubs are just using loopholes and the fact that ultimately, DFL doesn't give a fuck, and thus they (i.e Hoffenheim, Leipzig) are gaining an unfair advantage over the rest who are at least trying to play according to the rules. As for the way RB Leipzig are run, they might not rely on big name transfers, but their transfer balance in the last 5 years is -110 million €, that's more than any other club including Bayern, and they were playing as low as the 4th tier during that time, always spending more (without selling!) than all other clubs added together (in their respective league at the time).

What a turbulent season... Started horribly, then we slowly turned it around, had a great Rückrunde with some amazing performances and wins, then two poor matches against Köln and Hoffenheim, and a 7-goal thriller against BVB tonight to finish it off. 8th in the league in the end, good achievement, and I hope we'll build on it to strengthen the team during the summer and challenge for European spots next season!

Fuck them. Hope they'll get completely annihilated in the Champions League and Bundesliga next season. That said, they do play good football.

Yeah, saw enough of that (or similar) in Thailand and Cambodia...

Jesus fucking Christ.

I have some acquaintances living in Palawan; it's gorgeous.

None, get it sorted locally on your own when you arrive; it's easy and usually much cheaper. Unless you know it's so busy that it's going to be sold out, then by all means book it in advance. In that case I prefer contacting the company which offers the tour directly though.

haha either wrong dose so not enough for you to pass out, or they were just nasty fucks and did it for amusement (yes, there are plenty of sad cunts who'd do it)...

To steal their belongings, maybe? Happens quite often here in shady beach bars.

And so it's official: Welcome to Bremen! A solid option for our midfield, hard-working, experienced and down-to-earth player, and with a transfer fee of 1.2 million there's no risk at all. In other news, Santi García will miss his last ever match for Werder due to some muscular issues. Zlatko Junuzovic has been named our new captain!
