John Buchan likes Steak

"I lay and tortured myself... with the memory of all the good food I had thought so little of in London. There were Paddock's crisp sausages and fragrant shavings of bacon, and shapely poached eggs - how often I had turned my nose up at them! There were the cutlets they did at the club, and a particular ham that stood on the cold table, for which my soul lusted. My thoughts hovered over all varieties of mortal edible, and finally settled on a porterhouse steak and a quart of bitter with a welsh rabbit to follow."

- John Buchan, The Thirty-nine Steps

Paddock is the guy's butler, by the way... not a brand of frozen sausage. Sorry.
