Hi,
I defer to your superior cooking skills. Now we have to split the newpaper's prize three ways.
However, a steak covered in batter sounds pretty unhealthy, wouldn't you say? Although I guess covering it in butter woldn't be good for your heart, either.

May I disagree, Clive?
1) I think hoarseness is better than coarseness; hoarse is an adjective which applies very specifically to a voice, while coarse is far more general.
2) Battering a steak has nothing to do with the noun batter. Battered wives are not wives covered in b

No. Batter is a mixture of flour, eggs and milk used, for example, to coat a fillet of fish before frying. Clive's understanding of battering is therefore logical, but I gave another meaning of the verb to batter.

I would stick by my comments on no. 1. On no. 2 I share your doubts; I was just choosing between the words given.
Lewis is not my surname but my second forename. I had difficulty registering here under the name Lewis, I don't know why, so I threw in the J. Call me Jonathan or Lewis as you prefer.
