This is our second visit - and again, Steak Ministry didn't disappoint. The 18-hour beef cheek melted in my mouth. I rail against the section of society who demonstrate against us omnivores. Continue with your choice of vegetarianism and / or veganism. Let's respect each other's choices. And the livelihood of dairy and cattle farmers too.
