Don, I agree with escargot, I think there's an interesting debate to be had about personal taste preferences and texture/taste/appearance of raw/rare food, but I'm afraid the "vindaloo effect" will always be there.
In the other direction, I think people who have an aversion to seeing any sign of "red" or blood in their meat are displaying an understandable psychological reaction to the appearance more so than the taste.
That said, it's ludicrous to criticise someone for their personal preference for how well done their food is.

The irony being that a well hung steak cooked blue won't bleed either.BOR said:

how much would you spend on a steak?blue for me please
Apart from which I have no perception of food costs in the butchers, supermarkets etc as mein fuhrer does all the food shopping in my house?
Old skool I'm afraid, She picks - I pay - We eat. But then she doesn't choose our cars...
If you told me I could get a good rump steak from the butchers for £3 I'd be none the wiser than if you'd said it would cost £23.

I'd say if you're going to cremate it a stewing steak would be just as good thenBut it isn't "a steak" though.

Good smoked salmon is very very very hard to come by.
any tips on how to work out if its good or not? 
Proper smoked salmon is a wonderful treat. I like mine with just a drop or two of lemon juice...don't bother me with the brown bread.Cheap supermarket farmed smoked salmon (FSS) is a pretty good ingredient IMO. If you have it with brown bread, mind, all you can taste is the bread. I use it in pasta recipes with sun-dried tomato or sliced and tossed in pesto etc. Or I might put it in a lunch sandwhich with cream cheese.

Matty's right re quality.
I have the palate of a rhododendron but can appreciate things like the difference between a bordeaux and a claret, as it were.
Once, in London, I ate properly.
It was a revelation.
It must be proper ace to be Phil the Greek, for example; gourmet cooking, morning, noon and night.
Thank you very much.

When Charles requests boiled eggs he is cooked 12 of them.They are all cooked for slightly different times and presented in two rows, each 'pair' having been cooked for identical times.
If he takes the top off egg number three and it is too runny he moves onto egg number 4, if it is too hard, he moves back to egg number 2.
You wouldnt find that sort of civility in a republic.
Lothian, are you making that up?
If not, I'll be down on the first train to Waterloo, Euston or whatever, to join you in your nightly pro-monarchial incantations.
Windsor Great Park is about to get completely Bezzed up.
This is precisely the sort of eccentricity which should have absolute hegemony over the overly excited masses of this planet.
