What are 'surf' and 'turf' when used in conjunction? Is it food related?

Steak and seafood on the same plate.
Sometimes called "Beef n Reef" as well [img]smile.gif[/img]

Usually I've seen it as steak and lobster, and not just any kind of seafood. I've not heard Beef 'n' Reef before -- guess I've gotta find some new restaurants in better parts of the world [img]smile.gif[/img]

Used to be quite popular in OZ in the early eigthies. Generally it was a fillet steak and half a lobster. Then it started to be changed to suit the particular Chefs styles. A lot of restaurants ended up turning the seafood part of it into a sauce to go with a steak.
http://www.abc.net.au/widebay/stories/s285049.htm My own opinion, but forget the cornflour in this recipe. You wouldn't need it, and any self-respecting Chef wouldn't use it. Anyway, Fillet Steak and Lobster needs nothing else but a nice green salad with it. You simply can't improve on perfection!

Come now, there's still got to be a way!
Hmmmm... Vegetarian Surf 'n' Turf... What about a plate of grass and seaweed? Okay, that's not meant to be as smart-alecky as it sounds. But I think there's probably a place for that on someone's menu...

Hehehe... surf 'n turf... first time I mentioned it to my niece, she thought it was a surfing accident I had once in California. The innocence of being 5.

Veggie surf and turf would probably be water and fresh air, the 'usual' vegetarian option lol!
