A positive story? Wait till the Fake News crowd runs with this!
“He ate his aged New York strip steak with catsup as he always does.”
HORRORS! Ketchup on a fine aged New York Strip!
Might as well go to Sizzler if one is going to put ketchup on a streak.
My B-I-L does exactly the same thing.
If he sees any Pink inside of his Steak, it isn’t cooked enough. While I usually order my Steak Medium, I order it Medium Rare if we go out to eat just to see him squirm.
He also puts Catsup on everything, and I mean everything.
“HORRORS! Ketchup on a fine aged New York Strip!”
Blasphemy exceeded only by the notion he ordered it well done. I’m tempted to call “fake news”.
It wasn't until I was much older that I discovered just how delicious a juicy medium-rare or rare steak could be.
Don't forget that before the 1970s, store-bought meat was often sketchy. Sometimes meat would sit on supermarket loading docks for hours before it got put in a cold space. So people would cook it all the way through to make sure there was no bacteria left.
It is hideous. "Well done" is also hideous.
But it's his steak; he paid for it, he's gonna eat it, he can get it cooked any way he likes.
And when it's my steak, that I paid for, it'll be cooked the way I like it.
Freedom.
What a concept.
I can see the left wing MSM now: “Trump tries to steal $100 bill from bus boy!”
