This is canard. It goes like this:
RARE: Barely warm on the outside. The inside is swarming with bacteria.
MEDIUM RARE: Hot and brown on the outside, and a little bit on the inside. All bacteria still alive and kicking.
MEDIUM: Very brown on the outside and most of the inside. The bacteria have retreated to the very centre of the meat and are getting tired of this shit.
MEDIUM WELL: Brownish-black on the outside, grey throughout. The weakest bacteria have been killed, the rest are becoming organized.
WELL DONE: The outside no longer qualifies as ‘food’, but can be removed and used for asphalt repair and patching car tires. Only the strongest bacteria are left and have sworn to avenge their fallen brethren.
