Sadly, many establishments seem to think "rare" means "a little pink right in the middle".

There's a good butcher near here (I've seen Jimmy White in there). Last time I got some fillet steak from him, Mrs. H. thought I was gross tasting it raw. It was bloody lovely though. And lovely bloody.

: That's called 'English' in Germany by ReallyEvilCanine (4.00 / 1) #6 Wed May 23, 2007 at 08:54:35 AM EST

Meat in Germany usually comes "well-done", "extra well-done", "super extra well-done" and "burnt into fucking charcoal". If you want a steak rare here you have to specify "English". You also have to specify the cooking times on each side and make sure you get the waiter to repeat them back to you.
