The guy I've just started seeing likes his meat well-done

You'll have to get to know him a bit more to find out but don't count him out yet.

You can fool him by self tanning your peen.

Different taste in food than yours is not “shitty” just different. Get bet yourself.

Maybe his mom was a bad cook and he is used to it.

I worked for a woman who ordered everything burnt because her mom was a bad cook.

She liked her food that way.

By "Indicator of shitty taste?" do you mean by dating you OP?

He's otherwise handsome and nice, but he also likes sweet wine.

Gross. Next.

Is he black?

Rare: "Let’s just say you're definitely not a vegetarian. If you order your steak rare, you want to keep all of its beefy natural flavors."

Medium Rare: "You are a perfectionist who enjoys a perfect steak. If you want the most flavor and juiciness – without excessive moo-ing – this is the way to go."

Medium: "You like things in moderation and like to stay within your 'safe-zone'. You’re mild-mannered and don’t stray too far from the popular choice."

Well-Done: "You are straight to the point and no nonsense. You know how you like your steak (burnt as hell) and there’s no second guessing you."

No, R8. Half Greek if that makes any difference.

I spent many years as a line cook, and I can tell you this. We saved the worst pieces of steak for customers who order well done, like the head or the tail of a tenderloin, which yield irregularly shaped pieces that don't cook evenly. We also let their steaks sit on the grill for longer than necessary because we hate customers who send back their steaks for not being cooked enough. I worked in some very good places and in some not so good ones. It doesn't matter. They all do it the same way.

I don't think preference for doneness in any way reflects taste, but the next time the two of you go out for dinner, drop a hint about having a medium-well steak.

Why in the fuck does that even matter ?!? Keep on being that picky princess,youll be old and alone soon enough.

And you don’t own a television. Blah, blah, blah. You sound insufferable.

What is the ideal steak, op?

R11 Would you ever have customers who sent it back because it was TOO well done?

[quote] Indicator of shitty taste?

no but there may be other indicators.

Yes,

For his sake OP

You sound like someone who will constantly find him wanting. If it's not his steak, it'll be the brand of jeans he wears, the way he ties his shoelaces, a band he likes.

So for his sake, break up now because it's going to happen sooner than later.

PS: As generations of women have learned, thinking you'll be able to change the guy after you're married rarely works.

Punch and delete.

I hear you, OP. You are right to be concerned. Well done meat is an affront to taste.

Some cuts of meat are absolutely fabulous well-done, like dark meat chicken or turkey, pork cooked into carnitas, or the burnt ends of barbeque.

But it's a crime to overcook a good steak!

r15 None that I can remember. But then again I cooked probably thousands of steaks, and line cooking involves a lot of short-term memory. It happens often with fish. A customer will ask for it completely cooked, and then send it back for being dry. One doesn't have to mean the other, but it's a balancing act on a knife edge. Plus a cunt who would ask for a completely cooked piece of fish and then send it back for being dry is looking to be displeased anyway, just like OP. You're not OP, are you?

Medium or medium rare, R14.

Actually, R15/21 I've been to several high-end steak restaurants that flatly refuse (printed on the menu) to cook their most premium cuts well-done. I was curious and asked the server why and it was because these expensive steaks were being sent back for being dry.

Personally, I can't imagine asking for a tomahawk ribeye well done. Medium-rare is it.

OP don't nitpick. That should not be a deal-breaker.

Now, if he picks his nose and eats what he pulls out, we'll talk.

OP, you should be grateful. You're an overdone piece of meat too.

I will only eat meat that's well done, no blood for me

In other words, dry just like your vagina, R26.

r23 This is true. Even high-end non-steak restaurants refuse, though probably for different reasons. We would sous vide the steaks (usually tenderloin or strip, not cuts with bone) medium-rare and then sear à la minute, so we would instruct servers to encourage customers to order medium-rare or medium.

OP, I would pay closer attention to how he talks to servers and other restaurant staff. It's impoliteness that should be a deal-breaker to you, not the doneness of his steak.

You're a moron for even asking that question. We don't care and neither should you. (Although I hope your soon-to-be ex boyfriend posts a question: "Should I dump my boyfriend who seeks relationship advise from anonymous sources online?")

It's more an indication of baby taste than shitty taste.

OP, this is all you need to know: Trump will only eat his steak well-done.

I don’t eat steak, but I only eat well-done burgers.

But Its got all this red juice when I push down on it.

Discuss it with him...it's the perfect opportunity to stress how you prefer all your meat RAW and wink and nudge him under the table.

So, OP, do you do his meat well?

God, I hope you dump his ass so he can have a chance at an amazing life.

Baby tastes.

FWIW, there's a fairly easy hack for that too. I am not a fan of rare steak, so I'l order it medium and just eat from the edges and leave the pink part in the middle. Most steak houses serve you enough for three meals anyway, so it's not like you'll walk away starving.

If he ordered rare—how would you have felt?

Rare sounds like a real man's man.

I’m a bottom, R40. Love rare.

[quote]But Its got all this red juice when I push down on it.

It's not raw, Christina. It's rare. You're not getting up from this table until you finish that meat.

Is your bottom like a rare steak, r41?

Red and raw? No. Pink. Not brown or stained either.

But it feels like plowing into a raw hamburger, R44.

No, tight like grizzle, R45.

Has your bf ever tried a medium rare steak? He might discover he likes it. People's taste mature as they do, generally.

Growing up, my family had a rule: you can't say you don't like something until you at least tase it.

OP does he also smother his well-done steak with ketchup or A-1 sauce?

Trash.
