Why Is It Ok To Eat Rare Beef

[saintpeter48]

..... but not ok to eat rare pork, chicken etc?

APG...I've eaten loads of sushi and sashimi both here and in NY. I've never ever had a problem.

Thanks Barry1010, I'm now craving beef tartare! It used to be common to be able to buy it on the deli counter in Germany, ready minced up with a few herbs, lovely. I have to make do with blue steaks or as my late OH used to say, mooing steaks.

Buy a grinder, zebo. The manual ones that clamp on to the worktop or table are best. No excuses now

In The Netherlands, roasted chicken is served rare...or was when I was last there.

Pasta you won't have a problem if it's been frozen for the correct time It's just me being squeamish about eating dead worms ;-)

I like all my meat very pink and adore raw bacon. Certainly in Spain they always serve pork pink in the finer level restaurants I've tried. Chicken on the other hand I'd never eat undercooked.

[AuntPollyGrey]

woofgang are you sure that was on purpose?

Woofie, if it's roasted can it be rare?

My OH used to regularly eat raw bacon in his sandwiches. Does the curing process kill the bugs? He reckoned it did. It never caused him any problems.

I know it’s none of my business, being vegetarian, but I’d say it’s NEVER right to eat your fellow animals, cooked or raw.

What have they ever done to you?

beef tapeworn doesnt infect man
not quite according to this

saginata doesnt cause cysticercosis - ( it goes backwards) I think

doesnt really matter - all cured by praziquantel -
a good southen boy - Texas was dying hur hur hur for a rare T bone steak in Luxor - yup egypt - and I thought he was absolutely crazy when he got one ....
it kinda mooed when he ate it

Allen I've been flattened at some point by most farm animals but that's not why I eat meat, as some form of retribution Its cos it tastes nice.

I used to eat raw bacon and sausages, but I had an eating disorder then.
It never did me any physical harm but I wouldn’t recommend it.

I love my beef rare.

AuntPollyGrey "woofgang are you sure that was on purpose?"

yes absolutely it was like it in more than one resaurant and they were classy one (Rotterdam)

Danny13 "Woofie, if it's roasted can it be rare?"

of course it can. whack a whole chicken into a very hot oven for a short time. The outside will look brown and crisp but wait till you slice it!

[AuntPollyGrey]

Peter you can also get Toxoplasmosis from undercooked beef . Contracting Toxoplasmosis while pregnant is very dangerous for the baby, but most French people have anti-bodies.

I remember being pregnant in a Clinique in Paris and at dinner the nurse saying, 'we've given you horse meat instead of beef as you 've tested negative for Toxoplasmosis'. My friend who was their shrieked (in French of course) 'my god woman she's an Equestrienne! ' take it away!

Woofie, thank you, but, most likely, that would be followed by a bad dose of salmonella poisoning,

[AuntPollyGrey]

Woofgang what does raw chicken taste like (please don't say 'chicken ) :-)

[AuntPollyGrey]

I've done a google looking for raw chicken Netherlands and all I come up with is Trip Advisor reports stating their chicken came to the table raw -not on purpose raw that is.

For anyone who fancies eating raw chicken, take heed:-
