Spending time with AI

Well, I'm either a moron (I guess we knew this!) or at the least geographically challenged. I assumed that "Beefingham" was a real town in the UK

I mean, I live right next to a town called "Farmington", would "Beefingham" really be so hard to believe

I did too, but was suspicious enough to google and find there was no such place. lol

Rare beef is my favourite food, Reef beef is my favourite fishy related YouTube. You are only the second person to highlight my fictitious location, lol.

I understand rare and raw are different, but..

Reminds me of a story. My wife and I only speak a little French based on high school french class. On a family trip to France, she ordered something that turned out to be raw beef slabs. She did not want to eat it, nor did she want it left on her plate. As a good husband does, I ate it, despite not liking it at all. Lol

Another story… I was on a business trip with a colleague to visit a consultant. At a fine steak house, I was rather surprised when he ordered his raw. Not fazed a bit, the waiter asked if he wanted it warmed up a bit on the grill, which he agreed to. A few years later, he sadly died of pancreatic cancer. Related? Inquiring minds want to know.

Similar experience. On travel back from India I asked a former co-worker if he wanted to meet anywhere that I might be able to stop on the way back to California. He picked France. I said why not. My first time being there, language barrier, made ordering food a bit of a challenge. I was tired, saw steak, and the waiter brought me Steak TarTar. I politely asked them to offer it to someone else - a treat on me.

On the other hand I did find a nice place to eat off the beaten path. Owner sat with us, asked what I liked, and brought me back pasta meal that I will remember for ever. Simple but amazing. Probably more due to them sitting and talking - the personal touch.

Didn't think I was going to enjoy France but turns out one of my better stops. Just need to learn French before I go back or remember to order careful (or use pictures :))
