I'll have the beef stew...

A restaurant in Leeds which has been there for over 30 years, and which has made a name for itself as the place to go for steak tartare, has shut because the council have decreed that it cannot serve its signature dish unless the beef mince is pre-cooked, and raw egg is not used.  The council maintains that it has not banned the restaurant from putting steak tartare on the menu, but merely insisted that it not be prepared in the traditional way.  Which seems to me to entirely miss the point - if it's not prepared in the traditional way, then it's bloody well not steak tartare, is it?
