how long does it take to get food poisoning

And I expect the gastronomic highlights of these people's lives is the weekly outting to McDonalds

Tell a decent chef you like your steaks well done and they'd laugh at you.

Or perhaps they'd respect the fact that you don't have a taste for cow blood. Beef itself should be fine regardless of how much it's cooked it's just any other stuff that you find in there that might be dodgy.

By cow blood, I assume you mean the actual flavour!?

The longer a steak is cooked the tougher and drier the meat becomes. The juices are what gives a steak its flavour. If you prefer to be eating a dry, leathery piece of meat with no flavoury, go ahead and request "well done".

This is getting a little stupid, so this will be my last post on the matter
Only philistines ask for steaks to be cooked "well done". Whether this is due to unfounded fears of food poisoning or that they're afraid of the sight of blood makes no difference.

Just please, please, never go to a michelin starred restaurant and pay £30 for a chateaubriand only to ask for it to be cooked "well done".

Surely if someone wants a well done bit of steak and are prepared to pay for it then they should just get it, just cos the stuck up chef wouldn't eat it like that doesn't mean the customer can't, i'd seriously walk out if i ordered somethign well done and got abuse back.
