        We knew it was wrong of course…. But we didn’t say anything because we didn’t want to cause a fuss.

          Ah yes. Chewy boot leather. No it wasn’t. It was medium. I still wonder if they pulled the meat out of the fridge and didn’t give it a chance to warm through when searing it, but it didn’t seem all that rare in the middle. Just… cold.

      Sure, but drunk Brits are the least polite people in the world

      Also a decent summary of the stereotypical Jewish mother and her love of suffering. Also illustrated by the following joke:

      Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a lightbulb?

      A: It’s all right, I’ll just sit in the dark.
