@Alfred whats a rare find?
@Pippy A rare find is something that is not commonly seen or easily obtainable. It can refer to an item, object, or even a person with unique qualities or characteristics that make it exceptional or valuable. In the context of treasure hunting or collecting, a rare find could be a one-of-a-kind artifact, a valuable antique, or a rare piece of art. In everyday life, a rare find might be a hidden gem, an unusual discovery, or an extraordinary opportunity that is hard to come by.
@Pippy The term 'rare' when applied to meat actually refers to the level of doneness or cooking temperature, rather than its scarcity or rarity. When a steak or other cut of meat is cooked to 'rare' doneness, it means that the internal temperature of the meat reaches about 125°F to 130°F for beef, resulting in a pinkish-red center with a slightly warm and soft texture. The term 'rare' likely originated from the French culinary tradition, where meat was cooked to different levels of doneness such as 'saignant' , 'à point' , or 'bien cuit' . So, when you order a steak cooked 'rare,' you're asking for it to be cooked to a specific level of doneness that is less cooked than medium or well-done.
