2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

I won't turn away a medium rare steak. It's quite good on fact. But I've found with my palette, I'm more sensitive to being too rare than too done, having grown up on leather.
Like, rare is delicious, but if the cook does it wrong, myself included, then the texture and temperature of the meat is off putting to me.
My father in law gave a steak that was wedge shaped, so the thin end was overdone, but the thick end was beyond raw, on the inside. I struggled to eat that, though I did.
That being said, I also love beef tartare, so, go figure ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Thanks for the tuna recommendation, maybe I'll have my SO order it and I'll try some. I'm starting to like fish, in small doses. But my mom is allergic, so growing up we never even had it in the house, so I never learned to like it. That and my first introduction to it was some swampy pond Bass that my friend swore was delicious. It was not. It tasted like bad fish smells. That set me back a decade or two. But again, I'm coming around.
I like certain salmon meals, perch, crab, etc. Heck, canned tuna just went on the menu for me this year, so, progress.
When my daughter was two the first meal she ever asked for seconds on was Tuna helper. She also ate fish sticks.
My wife hates all seafood, refuses to eat it. So my daughter hears her say that's disgusting. Hasn't touched it since.
And I'd really like her to try it again. I've actually been secretly pissed at my wife for about 10 years now. Our daughter only listens to her. Sometimes I'll get the rate victory of her trying something I've told her is good. But she looks to mom first. I've told my wife to stop doing that
That's frustrating. My SO does a similar thing, but to themselves.
If I suggest something as being good, it's met with scrutiny more often than not. But if their in-laws suggest the very same thing, the initial opinion is much higher.
Frustrating.
Just one of those things you gotta try not to let bother you.
