Good food, please

On our first trip to Germany my wife and I went into a restaurant. I wanted a steak, well done, but instead of saying "gut durchgebraten", well done, I said "gut gekocht", well cooked. I received a very frosty look and the riposte "Alles hier ist gut gekocht!" Everything here is well cooked.

I spent 3 years asking for my steak to be "durchgebrannt" (burnt through) - no wonder it was arriving cremated!
