And on the other hand, I’ve had some very good steak, regardless of its doneness. I’ve had surprisingly good well-done steak, even though I generally order it medium. I’ve enjoyed quite rare steak, as well as raw beef (but not a steak). Each piece of meat, if prepared well according to the standards of that dish, was wonderful.

When people complain about other people’s preferences… Well, my experiences have simply not led me to a point where I think I’d want to do that.
