A little caution is in order, though. I am reminded of a steakhouse I
once visited in Cartagena, Columbia... They prided themseleves upon
their choice cuts of aged meats. I and my dinner companion both had
filet mignon... We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. That night, my
friend became violently ill. I suffered no ill effects. All I can
surmise is that his meat had passed a certain point in the aging
process, and while it tasted OK.. it was tainted with a critical mass
of pathogenic bacteria. My steak, on the other hand was apparently
fine.

More likely, as you both had similar dishes, the chef had
touched something spoiled and had transferred it to his meal
but not yours. The meat was probably not the culprit.

Actually, that is a fairly good point, Alan. Whatever it was, the meat
was delicious. I did not get sick, and my friend did...
