Just don't put pineapple on country music. That's unnatural.

Totally agree

I appear to be in the minority but I agree with the op. I like mine medium rare but I really couldn't care less about how someone else eats their steak. Taste is by definition highly subjective so who am I to tell anyone their taste is wrong.

I thought people who liked a well done steak were crazy until I tried a well done steak done right. Well done doesn't mean dry and leathery apparently. It can be tender, juicy, and delicious without a hint of pink if the cook knows what they're doing

Exactly

I don't care what you choose to eat - as long as I'm not the person who will have to take you to the Emergency Ward.

Being a food snob is a way for insecure people to feel superior.

I thought that I don't care, but I remembered: I've always ordered "medium" because I was afraid of being ridiculed. Even considering that "well done" could be the best for me. It's weird, but I've never tried it the way I wanted to. I don't care how anyone else eats their meal.

For many of us it's a texture thing. I can eat steak medium, but rare? No f*cking way.

Good point. But damn it bothers me!! Maybe its because they're so expensive? But right, why do I care? But damn it bothers me!!

If I'M paying for someone's expensive steak, and they want to get it well done & slather it with ketchup, I will tell them to pay for it themselves. I will not waste my money on a $50 hamburger.

When I was a teen my dad served us steaks that were raw and dripping blood inside. I couldn't bring myself to eat it that way and asked him to put it back on the grill. He got so enraged that he threw it directly on the charcoal brickets, and made me eat it caked with gray charcoal dust. Then he flipped the grill right over on its side and let the charcoal burn the grass. In restaurants he was a known table-flipper. Now I guess he's flipping anything he hates in the Afterworld.

Louder for the snobs in the back!

I eat my steak medium-rare, husband medium, mom well done. my mom prefers the way i make her well done steak because it's still juicey but no pink in the middle. my husband likes a little more pink than medium. Yeah, I don't get angry about how you like your food cooked as long as you like it cooked properly.

When asked I always reply "Tell the chef to cook it how he feels is best."

Different strokes for different folks. You do you, boo-boo

Our neighbors grilled out after people helped them build their deck. He'd gotten steak and started asking how they wanted it cooked. One guy said very well done and without skipping a beat, he said you're getting a pork chop. We'd grilled out with the guy before and after taking the chicken off the grill, he broiled it in the oven for another 20 minutes. It looked like he was eating shoe leather. Thing is, we use a meat thermometer, so we know it's cooked properly.

Agreed. I've never understood why there's so much elitism involved with steak, nor why it seems to be encouraged...

I’ll cook it as close to well done as I can if you ask, but it’s kinda hard to adjust my internal clock from how I normally do, and so I’ll probably end up baking it the last bit.

I want mine like leather.

Suck it with a straw if you have to. Some people who I care for have to have their salad minced.

That’s how I feel about other people’s sexuality

I eat rare steak, my mate likes hers well done. We do steak nights and have no issues.

My daughter eats hers well done and swears I'll die from germs for eating mine medium rare. My poor granddaughter (18) likes her steak medium rare as well, but her mom won't let her have it cooked that way, has to be well done.

My wife grew up with a father who was obsessed with having his steak well done. Any slightest trace of red would make him gag. Naturally, she is the same way, but I can understand why. She's learned to cook mine medium rare with difficulty, but can't stop commenting about it.

I can't afford a twenty-dollar steak these days.

Unless your the one cooking it. Lol. 5 to 8 min compared to a half hour. Nah man. Watch your own steak disintegrate. Lol.

It depends upon the type of steak. Kobe or Waygu steak? I'm going to leave it up to the chef who presumably knows what they're doing if its a high end restaurant. But if it's not your steak and you're not eating it? Does it matter that much how someone else likes their steak?

We ask them politely yet firmly to leave

I’d be pissed if I went out to eat and my friend got a well done streak and I have a medium rare and we gotta wait 30 mins for that b***h to get her steak. Nah

I'll probably get down voted into oblivion. But as a chef, for me personally, it has to do with respect for the product. That cow died to feed you, so if you want a steak (well done) that tastes like a hamburger, just order a hamburger and save your money.

I don’t know why, but for some reason I do!

Meh, I don’t care if your eating out but when I buy good steaks I don’t want to ruin them by turning them into shoe leather. I’ll cook it well for you but the next time I’m doing a steak cook out you probably won’t be invited. Doesn’t matter on cheap meat but 40-50$ steaks are ruined by being over cooked. I could have just bought you a flank steak and saved 40$ at well done all cuts are about the same. Tough and dry.

And anything you just have to swallow with out chewing seems pointless.

In Australia its the main thing we put on our snags (sausages,hotdogs etc) we call ketchup, sauce

I was going to come on here and say something like "except for recipes handed down from my mother's family" but had second thoughts about saying it. I hate to admit it but this person is right. I've altered or adjusted the couple of recipes I make on a regular basis, mostly the order of adding ingredients or baking time. I've also done the same to recipes out of cookbooks that I've been making for decades (I really need to write down some of these adjustments sometime).

If you are miserable for a while because of the heat then what is the point and if that is all you experience what is the point other than bragging rights.
