It's either Bard or Barbarian - each will have very different contexts for the purpose and meaning of the steak. For Bards the steak is often in lieu of coin for a good performance, and for Barbarians the steak is almost always a peace offering.
Fibreclass???
Will be listening later to find out, please don't forget to give us the answer (like you usually do) , blimey , I cant think of owt else now..
It's like when Osborne thought a picture of him eating a burger would make him look human, except it was a Byron burger.
They're widely out of touch but think they aren't. Steak for lunch may be the norm for some but to most it sounds unusual and that's before the sandwich comment
Reminds me of the Spitting Image sketch where Thatcher is at lunch with her Cabinet. She orders raw steak and the waiter asks "and the vegetables?" to which replies "they'll have the same".
Wouldn't it be less crass to hold her to account for her many appalling political views than to try to "other" her over a different cultural viewpoint on food to your own? That's rather dehumanising. You're quite talented at the former. The latter is nasty.
And (I hate myself for having read the piece) there's a really worrying bit where she describes north Nigerians as "ethnic enemies" and throws some Islamophobia into the mix.
I looked this up - in the Daily Mail. What an interview!
Woke is socialism.
Sandwiches are not food.
Lunch is for wimps, unless it's steak.
Her kids are right wing because they eat meat.
There are too many regulations, but we need to fine people who put up Christmas decorations before 1 December.
The steak thing is such an obvious culture war nod innit?
It's part 'Screw the wokies, give me a massive, bloody steak!' and part Thatcher Spitting Image callback.
She's trying *so* hard, all the time.
Yes that is true. USA, New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Argentina, Macao (🤷) eat >100kg/person
I was thinking of Africa because Kemi grew up in Nigeria. Much of Africa doesn’t eat much meat because it’s too expensive (Nigeria 7kg/person) - it’s a status thing that you can afford to eat a steak.
I think steak is a stupid, pointless "status" thing for aspirationals the world over. Trouble is, if you don't play their silly games, then they're the ones who look and sound pointless - Kemi!
I first used to think this about rugby and golf and still do.
"not working that hard class". As a nurse who often has to eat lunch on the run, I cannot even fathom trying to eat a steak and work. I've had a laptop balanced on my lap trying to type up notes, one eye on the patients, trying to eat a bag of quavers just to stop my tummy rumbling.
No time to even drink. I remember going home with headaches and realising I hadn’t drank all day due to no time. (I have now retired and the relief was unbelievable)
Steak and sitting down uninterrupted ... fancy. As a McD's manager if we got a break it would be in the manager's office wolfing down a burger, no point in logging out for a break, all illegal of course but you and I live in the real world.
She was probably misquoted and said a McDonalds Quarterpounder as befits a working class woman but the middle class journalist didn’t know what that was and assumed it was a steak.
Apart from almost everything else about this paragraph that’s utterly ridiculous, NO ONE likes moist, soggy sandwhiches do they !?
It doesn’t need stating does it ?
Rereading this, it is in fact deeply shocking, she is calling the vast majority of workers in all domains, 'wimps' so much contempt for every manual worker, nurse , etc. etc, etc. so they should all eat whilst laying bricks, tending to ill patients, fighting fires, operating on emergency cases?
Reminds me of the story my mum (working class scouser) told me, about a very posh lady at the WI sidling up to her and asking, "Excuse me... what *is* a chip butty?"
I worked for the Phones4U group a lifetime ago, and the way Caudwell ran it was nuts. At one point they decided that nobody could eat at their desks (and the canteen are sat about 40 people, TOPS) so suddenly the people who worked and eat were gone for 45 minutes to get a Maccies. It was carnage.
The provisioning and billing teams output went down enormously, as as Phones4U famously were too cheap to give their staff mobile phones, nobody could be contacted when not at their desks.

Part of her remodel with voice coach and spin doctors!
I checked your posts expecting to see confirmation but found a real human person with good posts.
Rare block changed to follow, if you care about followers.

Only askin' . . .
He had a private lift to his office on the top floor so he didn't have to meet employees.
Adjacent to his office was an air conditioned kitchenette for preparing oysters, cheese and caviar.
Regardless of what he ordered their instructions were the sam:
Remove all the packaging, place it on a Wedgewood china plate, cover it with a silver cloche and serve it on a silver tray with cutlery.
When he sat down and opened the menu, he was horrified.
"What kind of cheap shit place have you brought me to; there's prices on the menu."
Class is not a word used in her description.
It's part 'Screw the wokies, give me a massive, bloody steak!' and part Thatcher Spitting Image callback.

Someone chuck her a 9 day old crust for the love of all things barmy.
Oh, steak!
Damned homophones 🤭😉🤣

Where do I fit here?
Nobody likes moist bread.
Let them eat cake.
You just know it's going to be almost still breathing....
After a month the rule was quietly dropped.
For those that don't know, one of the best we have in the U.K. at speaking truth to power. 👌🏻💯
