 ML> chicken breast - pink in the middle

Me: just seconds past pink but still moist.

 ML> chicken leg - pink just gone near the bone

Same.

 ML> duck breast - blood rare

Medium pink.

 ML> duck leg - well-done

Same

 ML> quail - pink inside, crisp outside

Haven't had one recently enough to comment. Your way sounds good. I
certainly don't want it overdone and all dried out.
      
 ML> turkey - pink just gone near the bone

Same.

 ML> beef - raw or blood rare

Steak: medium rare. Roasts: Medium. Burgers: Medium well. Tartare is
OK too.

 ML> lamb - raw or blood rare

Same as beef. Never had raw lamb though.

 ML> pork - medium-rare

Medium well, touch of pink.
             
 ML> veal - raw or medium-rare

Medium.

 ML> fish - raw to medium-rare, except monkfish (well done)

Just barely cooked through. Or raw.

Aura tangled with the infamous and cantankerous owner of our semi
famous fish and chip joint owner over that. Bullocks offer catch of
day (lake trout, white fish, pike, and sometimes arctic char,
ling cod, inconnu, grayling or walleye) done four ways: battered and
deep fried pike, pan fried, poached or grilled everything else.
Simple menu: sourdough buns, french fries and house salad. Beer and
white wine. She is eccentric and often as rude as those infamous New
York deli waiters or that Soup Nazi guy. But she has been cooking
fish and nothing but fish for 20 years and knows how to do it right.
(She buys from the same guy I do, who I have talked about before.)
When things get busy the one waitress helps in the kitchen prepping
and plating, so you pick up your meals at the counter, help yourself
to the wine and beer cooler and pay on the honour system.

In any event Aura ordered deep fried Arctic Char and was rebuffed.
Pan fried only. Or eat pike instead. So she agreed to pan fried char
but sent it back for being undercooked. Renata came out of the
kitchen, looked at the fish and told her it was done perfectly and
went back into the kitchen. It's not often Aura looses an argument,
certainly not twice in one meal, but she met her match that day. She
ate her salad and roll, paid without tipping and Roslind rescued the
char and brought it home in a take out container. Not knowing the
whole story I ate the char, pronounced it perfect as always and
wondered why Aura glared at me!



Cheers
