Heh. I encounter the same sort of thing from time-to-time, someone
asks for their steak well-done. I'll tacitly cook it to medium; if
they complain (and it's only happened once), I'll gently nuke it in
the microwave oven to remove the offensive pink and make a mental
note to offer them a hamburger next time, if they're invited back.


I'm of a differin opinion on this. I want my invited guests to enjoy
their steak like they like it. While I can't personally see how a
steak charred to the point of bein shoe leather would be enjoyable, I
will cook em that way if my guest asks me. I want them to enjoy their
visit in my home; not get ****y over how the steak THEY plan to eat is
cooked.

Not sure we're _really_ differing in opinion here. I
want my guests to enjoy their steak and, with one
exception, the feedback has always been "Wow! That's the
best steak I've ever had!" when I translate "well-done"
to "medium".
