....they didn't ask how you wanted it. They sprinkle a wee bit of salt on top, then place it over the fire. Incredible bit of beef.

I don't really get into the debate about how I like my food compared to others. To me it's almost a non conversation in that we all like things different ways, including food. No one is 'right', it's just a matter of opinion and taste.

It's a bit like the 'how strong do you like your coffee/tea?' question. I'm happy to answer but not interested in a protracted debate on why my preference is right or wrong in the eyes of others.

Yeah, I get that. You also have the added benefit of putting up with any old (boot leather) steak, since you are cremating it in any case.

Great answer and I totally agree, but as a side note the way you like steak is definitely the best way.

I grew up eating cremated steak.

One day in a upmarket restaurant in Las Vegas, I ordered a fillet steak. I was too embarrassed to ask for it to be nuked and asked for medium. They butterflied it. It was still red in the middle. Nevertheless, given that we were with the company rep of a supplier, I proceeded to eat it. It was delicious.

I was in my early 40's at the time. I now have fillet steak medium rare.

Fatty meats, I still want those nuked. I can only eat fat if it is crispy.

I agree, normally I wouldn't touch belly pork.
But diced and fried to a crispy finish with a seasoned coating and dipped in a far eastern sauce of choice, I find it reallly enjoyable.

Best steak i ever ate was at the Cock n' Bull Inn on the Sunset Strip in L.A - true story.
Agreed on crispy fat - pork cracklin'! Anything else is just not right.

My stepson's 18th, we hired a hog roast. I had the crackling every day for the following month. Salt and crispy fat- what's not to love?

Urgh... I have just remembered working at a customer's house years ago. It was a Sunday. They kindly invited me to join them for lunch. I think it was lamb. I had to suppress my gag reflex as I watched them carving through inch wide fat and swallowing it down.

Although not fat, I can't even stand the aspic in pork pies. I either peel it of and put the meat back in, or I smother it in brown sauce (which dissolves it).

Many, many moons ago; when the days were long and the sun shone brightly, a bunch of us went to see if another fellow was up for a game of footie at the park. His mum opened the door and told us to wait while he came down, treating us to the sight of a leg of lamb on the kitchen table adorned with several flies helping themselves to a snack.
To this day i can't eat lamb. I won't. The flies. They crawl, always crawling. Like something out of a Hammer Horror. The flies...the flies.

I cook my steaks rare to medium-rare (as best as I can, anyway), but won't (and can't) eat the fat; I can't be doing with chewing for what seems like an age but, if I don't, I'd probably choke on it anyway.

 

[Odds]

Back then i'd ask for it 'well done'; barbecued even better. Don't just sear it, make sure the bugrs ded!
