I found this photo of the the two skirts I was thinking of, the top part is the diaphragm shirt which is more tender than the bottom part which is flank skirt which needs a slower cooking method.

Ah thank you for clearing that up. The flank skirt must be what I remember as being the tougher cut.
Diaphragm skirt doesn’t sound quite so appealing as bavette steak somehow,

Interesting piece by Nina Teicholz looking at the biases against red meat in dietary guidelines.

Yes, but shipping carcases halfway around the world in refrigerated cargo holds is not exactly helping the environment especially as marine crude oil is the most polluting fuel they could ever use. The animals give out the same amount of GHG wherever they are farmed, so no benefit in that respect either. UK farmland used for livestock tends to be non-productive for Agri farming, so to glibly claim that this land will support an equivalent amount of human food stock in plant based foods is nonsense.

Here, in the Hebrides, it is difficult to grow any crop other than grass (soil, temperature, rainfall etc). We are a perfect example of the kind of farmland that can only be used to raise livestock - no animals to be kept = land eventually returning to the wild. The place might become a kind of tourist attraction for those wanting to visit wild places and enjoy having holidays in the wintry conditions we enjoy in the summer (not very many). Anyway, how will this improve the lot of all those animals that will no longer be farmed? Nobody will keep totally unproductive flocks of sheep and they would all be slaughtered.

The term “new normal “
Singapore gets a lot of its meat from AUS, it’s pretty good, NZ is ok too but I think they must have skinny cows. A NZ porterhouse is 1/2 the size of USDA.

Good news for meat eaters in the UK, a free trade agreement has been agreed between Australia and the UK and will mean more meat coming your way.

There was a time before the EU stopped it. when the UK imported loads of antipodean goods. Beef, Lamb, coal, butter and Fosters. We in turn replied with guided missiles and bombs (remember Blue Streak, Woomera?), and then AUS fired back by sending us The Murdochs, Kylie, and Jason. Yes, some we won, some we lost. The ones I think that are relevant here are the barbie, and the tinnie.

Any tips on cooking a (very large) tomahawk steak? Have one coming to room temperature on the kitchen counter. Am thinking reverse sear, but open to other ideas!

I'd reverse sear but a bit depending on thickness maybe?
