Q:".Sir, how would you like your beef steak (cooked/done/prepared)?"
A:"I would like it (medium / over-easy / well done / bleu / scrambled )
please"

• What do over-easy and bleu mean?

I think you have a mixture there. I can only speak for the US, but the question about how one would like a steak prepared is a question about temperature. From the coolest to the hottest:

rare, medium-rare, medium, medium-well, well done

Over easy and scrambled would refer to eggs.

"Bleu" is an actual menu choice. It refers to steak with bleu/gorgonzola cheese. One would still have to specify a temperature.

15) Can we say deterioated/badfor all kinds of food and beverages which have been deterioated?

Rarely, would we use deteriorated. "Bad" works for many foods and some beverages, but not all.

Carbonated beverages go flat. Eggs rot/spoil. Cheese molds. Meat goes bad/spoils/rots. Wine goes bad. Milk spoils, sours, goes bad. Vegetables rot. Fruit spoils, gets moldy.

1. Yes.
2. Not really. That is mostly used for scents.
3. Smells very good/nice.

In formal situations, wine has a bouquet. Aroma is good for most of the others.

Steak cooked "bleu" means very rare - practically not cooked, just shown the flame.

"gone off" is well-recognized in the UK as foods that have soured or are going bad
