I have had good luck getting an actually rare steak by ordering
it "MOO" or "still trying to get away". Anyway the original
poster was probably an fired employee trying to get even.

The worst transgression I have ever experienced at a restaurant
was after ordering the "swordfish special" at the Landmark on
Chincoteague Island. The large group I was part of must have
looked like a bunch of tourist and therefore prey for the locals
that have to work two or three jobs during the on season. When
the special arrived it took about two bites for me to realize
that my meal was bluefish in a cream sauce. I've eaten a lot of
bluefish but always gotten it dirt cheap or off the hook free.
(keep your fingers away from those sharp teeth) I didn't
say anything but have never gone back and warned others away.

The transgressors are probably gone by now so I might give them a
second chance were I to pass that way again. rms
