The all time best roast beef and gravy EVER!

[Aquarius]

Sorry... just wanted to share the marinade really. The cut doesn't matter.

that's ok, we're happy to have the recipe!

London Broil is a marinated flank steak ... great for grilling, tender when rare and sliced across the grain on a bias.

Cornish hens are very small chicken relations. Bigger than quail. serves 1 or 2 at most. probably from cornwall massachusets, lol.

the ranchers packers and resauranteurs of a country title the cuts . Ever had a New York Strip in London?? doubt it, lol. Go to South America where beef is what's for dinner too, and the cuts are named quite differently also.

But a knowlegable butcher won't steer ya wrong, whatever the cut is called.

Well, we don't 'broil', we 'grill' so wonder why it's called a London Grill? Mayeb its from a London in the USA?

So, there's a Cornwall, Mass... Who knew? We call those small birds by their French name pouisson!

You're right - in countries around the world, there are different names - but it is interesting when the names are changed in countries where we all pretend to speak English!!!

Poissons means Fish.... doesn't it? Do you mean 'poulet' or 'petite poulet' Chicken or little hen?

[Ishbel]

No, I definitely mean pouisson. See here for a photograph of frozen example from a New Zealand site, so they've heard of them too !

I know cooking, I've been doing it for nigh on 40 years and have been on courses at many cookery schools around Europe. I know what we in Britain call different types of bird!

But you are correct, the word you've used does mean 'Fish' in French.
