Ale

Never tried oysters with beef, Absent, worth a go? Usually I find that a slice of lemon is enough.

papaoscar Steak, Guinness and Oyster Pie is a traditional East Coast dish found in places like Whitstable. Delicious, if you like oysters.

In the days when oysters were very cheap, they were also a standard ingredient in Lancashire Hotpot (lamb or mutton, not a beef stew).

Funny how mild disappeared from the South... the popular pint when I were a mere stripling, was mild and bitter - the nearest thing now is light and bitter - which involves adding a bottled beer to a live, cask-conditioned ale - which is pretty pointless.
