# Can you believe I went to a restaurant for my b'day and ordered steak.
The waiter said how would you like it and I said 'blue' and he didn't know what it was!

# I said to him
'If you want any tip what so ever, go down to the kitchen now and ask what a blue steak is'.

# Whilst we were sailing
in the Scillies last month I was discussing this with my mate who is a chef, ( ex of the big place on the Strand so he's a good one ) and we came to the conclusion that there are not 5 places in Britain where you can confidently ask for a blue steak and get what you should. Only one of them being outside of London.

I like a medium rare steak ( but don't mind a blue ) and find that rather than take chances I'll order rare because just about everyone over cooks steak.

# Yes, if I'm not cooking my steak
I'll ask for it as rare as I can get it. Last time I paid over £15 for a steak (which is hardly haute cuisine but anyway) and asked for it rare, erring on the side of medium it turned up extremely well done.

# steak is the only thing i get rude about in restaurants
i don't have a way i like it cooked specifically, sometimes i like rare some times i like it well done. but i want what i ask for. on several occasions its been sent back with the explanation that "rare mean juicy not bleeding" and "well done mean brown not burnt"

# a rare steak will always be bloody
and is meant to be little more than warmed in the middle.
