I could be talked into accepting 4, on a temporary basis. But I want toast, damnit, not lightly warmed bread.

My wife hated when I got the thick Costco sirloins because I always aimed for 2, but I kept screwing up and getting like 0.75's. They still tasted good.

Well, actually I do like bits being that toasted, but the whole bread?

No of course not! You wash it first!

Asking for more than 2-3 for the first one in a restaurant here will earn you stares as dark as A. The second one isn't that relevant here, we have proper

Steak tartare is indeed awesome. If you can find good-enough quality meat.

Called råbiff in Swedish. Which means raw beef.

@remi That reminds me of the day we had lunch in a restaurant, somewhere in southern France. We didn't specify our steak, and got it at level 0, I think. Another customer ordered bien cuit. The chef did comply, but in the end smacked the leather slab on her plate and a told her "here, as you wanted" with as much contempt in his voice as he could gather. Not being (nor speaking much) French even I could here the subtext: I hate you, and don't come back complaining when it tastes like shit.
Oh, and:
1-3; 2-3.5; A-C (If you prefer F: you should just drink milk if you don't like tea or coffee)

Well, seems the chef wanted to handle this personally then. Normally they send just the waiter to show contempt.

Usually you're more likely to get 1, I think. Although it's hard to say with small pictures, but what passes for 0 in most of the world is probably 1 in France (and probably some other places such as Italy).
The grill section at my work canteen asks us how we want our steak but will usually take 1 as the default, sometimes doing 0, sometimes 2 (depending on what you ask). They may stretch it to 3 if you really stress it, but they'll start looking you weirdly. Anything more... you'll get at least a remark (they're good humoured so they'll usually just make a joke in passing, but they will say something).

I had the reverse experience during a trip in Canada. I asked for rare, expecting to get medium-rare which would have been OK. I got what I would have called well-done, with a worried inquiry from the cook as to whether I really wanted it that raw? (it was Canada, so I guess a polite inquiry was the same as a scornful remark in France
)Not being (nor speaking much) French even I could here the subtext: I hate you,
Nah, don't worry, that part is standard in big cities and tourist areas (and I assume you were in one), especially if you're obviously not French (and not willing to bend over and submit to our natural culinary superiority). Cooks/waiters in smaller, more laid back areas are usually, well, more laid back.

I was more prefer the darker side because that usually smells better, then I remember stories regarding those carcinogens in high-temperature treated carbohydrates, so...
-
@cheong I think if I live long enough to die from toast, I'll have lived a long and satisfying life.

It makes me wonder... did pizza shop owners ever fire staffs for deny making pizza with pineapple?

Coffee is nasty. The smell is sickening. But part of that may be trauma from a teacher who guzzled the stuff and whom I hated.

On some days, it is nice to start the day with a nice cup of coffee.
On others, I will not have part of the heretic bean juice and make a pot of tea instead.

Fun fact: bacteria lives on the surface of beef. That's why eating a rare steak that is seared on the outside is safe, but eating rare ground beef may not be.
