What SP actually said was "they were not done enough" which might well have meant that they were a bit too raw/rare, but might equally well have meant that other aspects (e.g. the presentation at table) were below the standard that SP would have wished to show to his guest. [EP: "Well, if you'd told us that you were bringing important guests . . ." SP: "But I didn't know he was coming - he invited himself!" EP: "And that makes a difference, does it?"]
