Here is Health Canada's cooking temperature guidelines. It is hopelessly out of date with modern research. For example it still lists pork at 71C/160F and anybody who thinks Beef is medium rare at 145F is

I usually order a curry dish if available. They are usually good enough.

No beef option on my PVG-YYZ trip, perhaps Ben read the shoe leather comments and decided to scrap it?
And replaced with Lamb that one FA/SD described as "So greasy I can't even finish it"
I also witnessed another FA/SD who took the tinfoil off the chicken plate and was staring at it for a good minute wondering if she was hungry enough to want to eat it lol.

If I had realized that when you wrote "meat" you meant to use it interchangeably with "beef", then I would not have gone down this particular rabbit hole with you.

In France, well Paris, I have ordered cheese burgers, ground beef and you are always asked how you want it done, my friend always orders her's rare, I took a chance and went medium rare, it was totally fab. Apparently none of the worries in France over ground beef we have here in North America. I think in most French restaurants though, they prepare and grind the beef in house. The exception being MacDonalds in France.

The OP was indeed about beef, but then a poster you know well introduced a different term that I responded to:
If I had realized that when you wrote "meat" you meant to use it interchangeably with "beef", then I would not have gone down this particular rabbit hole with you.

Real men eat what they want and don't care what others think. I'm a real man and if I want a tofu burger and mai tai, I will enjoy it and not worry what someone else thinks.

Ahh, you are all city folks. Around here real men eat what they kill. Deer, bear, partridge, rabbit, duck, fish, moose if they travel for it. But given the typical airline choices, these real men would choose the beef every time.
Alas, by my hickville definition I'm not a real man. I couldn't survive eating what I kill (blackflies, mosquitos, the occasional mouse)
