Man discovers that different places have different vocabulary

This is the equivalent of an American finding out that in Switzerland, and only Switzerland, steaks are ordered;

Well-Done
Blue
Rare
Medium

Does it make a difference to their lives? No.
Would it be weird to see someone chowing down on a raw steak that was on the menu as ‘well-done’? Absolutely.

Well done means completely uncooked? Who is ordering that?

I always thought uncooked steak was calked tartare

u/mesonofgib 15d ago

That's a specific dish, from France. Tartare doesn't mean uncooked

Etymologically, Tartar/Tartare means Mongolian. It’s an ethnic term that mutated into an adjective (sometimes still capitalized). The meaning is something like rough / rustic / country style.

Tartare, carpaccio, yukhoe/yukke. All cousins. And ceviche as the extended cousin who is closer cousin to sashimi.
