If you like your steak well or, near-well, do you actually taste anything? Isn't it simply a chewing exercise, any flavor?

That's what the ketchup is for.

Ummm. Ok. You familiar with bikini baristas? How many coffee roasteries you got nearby? These people are fucking nuts about coffee out here and can get quite snobby about it. The complaint I hear most about the Keurig out here is “it tastes like plastic” while they’re sipping something expensive out of the ever-present Starbucks cup you’d swear was surgically attached to their hand.

I’m not a coffee drinker, though I tried for a little while out of sheer peer pressure and curiosity about what could have these people so passionately debating grinds and roasts and whatnot. The coffee culture out here is real, and so is the smug superiority that goes with it.

Although I don't disagree with the choice in Texas, I am one who does not hold that choice--I want my meat (any kind) well done.

Well OK, but you're not a "natural born" Texan.

I see no state hates Twinkies or beer, so there's hope.

Here in IL. we the tax payers and voters, are forced to eat SHIT and Crow!
Most hate it but seem to want it served to them frequently.

If you cook your steak well-done, you should be eating a burger, not a steak.

New York, too. They know.

Yep, totally with you.
I still have my Texas passport... just waiting for the Republic of Texas to absorb OK, AR and MO!

St. Louis can stay with Illinois

What, all those shredded carrots in sugar-free Jello isn’t healthful? Say it isn’t so!

No, no--you have to have pineapple niblets, too!

Western Washington hates very well done steak. I am on board with that. What a waste. Eastern Washington likely does not care for medium rare fresh troll-caught salmon. Slightly rare in the middle. And that is their loss.

Florida can send me all of their unwanted licorice, as long as it's still pliant and fresh.

I don't even like my burgers well done (unless I don't know about the source of the meat)

I'm in California now and there's a CFA right near my hotel. Line is always long.

In SF last weekend I did not see any. Just a lot of bums.

I have no issues with chicken nuggets.

ND hates tapas and, UT hates balsamic vinegar

LMAO!

I love cold pizza.

Vermont did get it right in its dislike for spray cheese.

Instead of eating all of the oil/grease that floats to the top of the pizza (mostly from the cheese) during the high temperature baking, one first blots it off with a paper napkin/towel before eating it. My wife does this; she hates eating any unnecessary oil, grease or fat. She also trims as much visible fat off of chicken, beef or pork before eating it.

However, she wasn't part of the survey.

Sounds like my house!

Hey, I actually like the occasional chai latte.

A steak that has been properly cooked well done (or medium well) still has plenty of flavor (just not the taste of blood)--they can also be tender. The secret is to not hurry the process and to stop when the center has just lost the pink.

I have admitted that many times. At least I knew a good choice and didn't just have it handed to me.
