I am Kevin Smythe-Jones and am known as an adventurous eater at my local pub-the Swine's Arse.
So I decided to try the famous Herrod's super expensive Japanese beef Sandwich.-(which I will just call a 'Jap Beef Sandwich).
The whole review is it at Kevin's Timely Tips-my podcast for East Underbelly by the Tracks.
Now I have been to Herod's many time. Mainly just to look because they are so over-priced, and there are snooty people all over the place.
The lunchroom was OK-I've seen better.
The Pub guys put me up to eat there and chipped in the money for the lunch.
I am sitting there at a tiny table and the Sandwich came and was large and impressive...Had some kind of frilly greenery tucked in it.
Sort of limp and sick looking-so I got rid of that.
On first bite it was good.
On the Menu it was called a 'Jap Beef Butt Sandwich-and I didn't think much of the description.
The edge of the meat was real tough and thin, and I wondered it that was from near the Arse of the cow.
(Those Japs don't waste any part of the animal, you know.)
There was no yellow mustard available just a disgusting greenish Jap mustard on the side.
That stuff just about tore my throat out.
And the sandwich was served with really smelly cooked mushrooms in a sauce.
Another disgusting item.
No Chips or anything with the sandwich. Disgraceful.
Anyway, avoid the Herrod's Jap Beef Butt Sandwich- overpriced and tough.
The Trendy people around me were just gobbling them, and the mushrooms, down like no tomorrow.
Go figure....
