first of all, why do I have to tell the chef how to make the steak? “medium rare”? “well done”? those are words made up by wizards or something. second of all I don’t like how they taste. they’re super expensive and they just taste so boring. chicken goated steak boring. I’m in my early 20s so I’m getting used to some “acquired taste” things slowly like wine and coffee but steak is still so bland.
maybe it’s just an american thing. maybe my body inherently dislikes steaks because it dislikes american imperialism.
I mean I doubt any country could credibly lay claim to invention of “slab of meat”. But I’d bet America is the biggest consumer of steaks.
per capita? almost cerainly some Euro countries + Argentina, Uruguay, even Brazil have it beat.
