IT'S NOT BLOOD

 

[disappeared]

Of course medium wins out as it's a boring-ass easy choice.

Rare is of course the real winner.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I order my steak Rare every time. When I cook it myself I usually go with Blue Rare.

Fucking disgusting.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

You want to talk about food outrage, stop putting pineapple on your food you sickos!

Pineapple on pizza is a travesty because it doesn't go well with a buttload of cheese, bread and tomato sauce.

But pineapple SAUCE with meat and other table sauces is great. I get the pineapple maymay, but this ain't one of them.

 

[MisterR]

Those 75% of Americans above medium-rare are the true deplorables.

Yep, awful people. I would actually be fine with putting people who order a steak well done in internment camps.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I go for medium to sometimes medium rare okay.

That being said if forced I would rather eat a well done steak than eat rare.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

How long on each side for rare? I usually cook mine medium rare.

 

[Bustanen]

What is blue rare?

A miserable little pile of raw meat.

 

[HeySeuss]

That dude in the fancy white house that lives in a black neighborhood sure does..

Noooooooooo!!!! My man I had so much respect for you

you're still my dude

Ketchup does not belong on a hot dog unless you are less than 12 years old. Develop better taste in foods.

Yes, let's preserve the flavor of the boiled amalgamated scrap meat.

 

[Poor GRIMES]

I just don't understand how anyone can eat well-done steak. It's so terrible. I don't care how fat the cut was or whatever, the texture and toughness and lack of taste are just awful.

I mean, if someone doesn't want to eat medium-rare steak, I get that. If you're just deathly afraid of E. coli, or you just can't stomach the texture, or whatever. But in that case I'd just get a burger. Half as expensive, and even a mediocre burger is way more edible than a well-done steak.

You have a much higher chance of getting e-coli by eating lettuce or using a bathroom than you have by eating a properly cooked steak. Like with most problems in this country, we could probably eliminate most well done eaters with education.

 

[Kaladin]

If it's not at least pink I'll send it back to the kitchen. I like mine somewhere between rare and medium rare.

 

[D4Danger]

What is blue rare?

raw meat someone wafted a cigarette lighter near

 

[Camwi]

Good. Up yours, rare. You too, medium rare.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Noooooooooo!!!! My man I had so much respect for you

LMAO I'm talking about trump..

 

[Eusis]

Sounds about right, honestly. Rare meat is an extreme beloved only by few, but promoted very loudly by its constituents.

One of the more verifiable examples of a vocal minority that I can think of.

That said: the war between how food should be eaten is mostly for fun and nobody should actually care how people eat their steaks. As a victim of steak-shaming, I push for its eradication.

Seriously though I'd plead to give at least the medium options a fair shake. If you still don't like it from even a competent chain restaurant then fair enough, it's just food after all and not something particularly bad for you.

Not my experience. I generally prefer drier meat (and well-done is not that dry, anyway).

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

From a quality steakhouse, rare is best. And stop being a wimp, it's not blood.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Think about how many people get their steaks from Outback Steakhouse or Longhorn

There's your answer

If you think eating a fucking shoe is tasty, then I could see you liking a well done steak.

 

[HeySeuss]

What is blue rare?

Literally cooking it 5-10 seconds each side.

 

[ForkNetwork]

medium well
accept no substitutions

 

[jrcbandit]

What cut of meat is best to try Chicago style medium rare with?

[MisterR]

You should just order beef jerky. Much cheaper and a better option for you.

 

[kmfdmpig]

While I don't like anything above medium it's always a bit silly to see how worked up GAF gets about how others eat. Does it really bother people that other people like meat cooked more than they do or that they like ketchup on hot dogs or pineapple on pizza. As Harrison Ford would say, who gives a shit?

I don't trust you pineapple people. It starts at "it's just pineapple sauce" and then it's "let's put pineapple slices on the ham" and before you know it BAM you're conned into ordering the dreaded Hawaiian pizza. I'm not falling for it.

 

[HeySeuss]

LMAO I'm talking about trump..

Whoops I read the that as this and completely missed the joke. My bad I knew you were good people lol

 

[pureplayin2]

Mine have to be cooked brown all the way through to the middle- no red whatsoever. If there is then it has to go back till they can or throw it in the garbage and cook another for me till you can. If you burn the outside while you cook it then it gets sent back until you can cook it medium-well and no burnt anything on the outside. Any hint of pink or red and it will always go back. I have had expensive steakhouses go through 5 or 6 steaks until they got it right.

It's a slippery slope. I say we outlaw all pineapples to put a stop to this before it's too late!

Being a steak snob is so 2010

LOL, not remotely that dry.

 

[Evenball]

Medium Well will always be my favorite.

I think the people complaining about blood need a bit of learning. Heres something to help yall poor souls out, http://nypost.com/2017/05/18/that-red-juice-oozing-out-of-your-steak-isnt-blood/

 

[Kaladin]

Nothing better than getting the juices from a rare steak on your baked potato.

Well done. I want cooked meat, not warm raw meat.

Does it really bother people that other people like meat cooked more than they do or that they like ketchup on hot dogs or pineapple on pizza. As Harrison Ford would say, who gives a shit?

It is indeed funny how GAF, which can often be quite reasonable, gets turned inside out on certain topics: food, pronunciation (gif vs jif), dinosaurs with feathers. It's all in good fun, though. Or so I tell myself.

 

[____]

To all the "it's not blood" folks:

Not saying it is or isn't blood, but it damn sure looks like it is, and to a lot of people that's a huge turnoff as perception/aesthetics matter with food.

I still shudder at the thought of hearing this woman at a dinner table utter: "Ugh, I can't eat a steak if it's not dripping blood."

Scarred me for life.

That is not specifically a GAF thing. Hell it is not even specifically an internet thing.
People IRL also dislike well done steaks and pineapple pizza. On the internet people just like to exaggerate, because it is fun.

A literal supervillain in plain sight, GAF

 

[Log4Girlz]

American mustard on dogs. Gotta have that vinegary bite to it.

 

[hanspampel]

depends on the kind of steak, but medium - rare is mostly the best option

with fat streaked a bit more done is fine, too

 

[Kthulhu]

Any of you who eats their steak rare or well done please let me know so I can add you to my ignore list.

You should be banned from expensive steakhouses. Brown in the middle? Good Lord, that's disturbing.

This is the worst of both sides argument made in history.

I guarantee you that your steak gets an extra rub put on it or spit on sending it back so often. I bet you order the thickest cut possible and expect it to be cooked all the way through with no burn marks, which is nearly impossible.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Medium-rare at a restaurant. Medium to medium-well if I'm cooking it.
