  Let's hope you've eaten before you cast your eyes on this wondrous-looking item. This, my friends, is their Steak Slice - a meat pasty that knocks the original pastry item that inspired it into a distant cocked hat.

• M restaurants are putting 175 day aged beef on the menu

  

  It's what they're calling "extreme aged beef". M Restaurants are challenging just how long you really should age beef for by putting 175-day aged USDA Prime Rib Eye on the menu. And they say that the effect of this long-term aging is that "the resulting flavour is unique - punchy, beefy and almost cheesy in taste."

  So if you fancy some of that cheesy beef, it's on the menu from September at £17.50 for 100g (with a
