The search for tasty steak in North Yorkshire

For years we have enjoyed buying our meat from Fawcetts in Ingleby Greenhow but due to personal circumstances they are currently closed we have failed to find steak with any consistent flavour in our local town of Guisborough. Influenced by the Slow Food  movement we prefer to avoid supermarkets where possible as increasingly we are trying to source as much of our food locally & or grow or make our own produce.....so it was with some excitement that we visited Langthorne`s Farm Shop in Brompton near Northallerton which had been recommended by a local Farmer.

We had a lovely chat with Paul behind the meat counter who told us how he supplies the Ghurkas stationed at Catterick Garrison with Buffalo meat. They have a small abbatoir on the farm therefore slaughter their own animals which includes a Buffalo Herd. 
In addition they have only what I would describe as an Asian Supermarket with spices, sauces,  rice, vegetables (cassava, plantain, yams, rambutan, sweet potatoes), noodles etc all for Indian, Nepalese and Malaysian cuisine.

We bought a T-Bone & a Fillet steak as a trial but also a family pack of frozen Parathas & some Jalapeno cheetos!More details when we cook the meat!
