Well done, like Trump's? If medium rare, aren't you worried over food poisoning?

Well done, like Trump's? If medium rare, aren't you worried over food poisoning?

I like my steak as rare as it can be, without it being complete blue. Medium rare would be my bottom line. Anything more, I will send it back to the kitchen.
I'm not worried about food poisoning, as long as you know the source of the meat. I would never buy steaks at Walmart. I usually go to Costco for steaks. I also know a local butcher very well and go to visit him often. And he knows me enough to actually keep stuff for me. He sometimes cooks weird meat at his butcher shop only for his good customers. And I have tried some weird stuff at his place, like Rocky Mountain oysters (if you know what it is...).

If you go back to China to live in a rural village, the local people will not be able to tell you are a sea turtle from what you eat. The only dead giveaway will be your accent. LOL.

Hahaha! Believe it or not, I still have my Beijing accent. A couple years back when I went back to Beijing for a conference, I told my colleagues that I could fool the locals into thinking I was still a local. The moment we got onto a cab and started talking with the driver, an Australian colleague of mine told me that he could tell I spoke differently. I don't know. I think he's messing with me. I believe my Beijing accent is still pure. Although I can't understand half of the things they say (not because of the language, but all the new slangs just don't make any sense to me...), my accent hasn't changed. Then again, the driver said "you must be coming back from abroad?" after about a minute of conversation with me. I insisted that I was a local who was hired as a translator. He wouldn't believe it... then I tried to bring up all sorts of landmarks to convince him that I knew my Beijing stuff. He looked at me and said "half of the places you just mentioned had been gone for many years!" That was an embarrassing moment, to say the least. The good part was none of my colleagues knew what we were saying...

I can still pull off a good Beijing accent, but only not in Beijing. Like people elsewhere in China will assume I'm from Beijing, but locals in Beijing will pick up in a few minutes that I'm not from there.

Steaks should never be cooked past medium rare. I pretty much only eat rare or blue rare. Once the inside reach 60C, all bacteria is dead and its good to eat.

Oh my gosh, my sister and my mom loved their steak WELL DONE, meaning no pink or red inside at all!?
They might as well order beef jerky!

Well done beef just becomes chewy. No matter how good the beef, it just won't be tender anymore. Also, it losses all the natural flavours of beef. When you take your steak off the grill, it will still cook itself when sitting. That's why it's never good to grill for that long.Oh my gosh, my sister and my mom loved their steak WELL DONE, meaning no pink or red inside at all!?
