The "I like my grilled meats no longer walking" appreciation club

Since you asked.....

This may sound weird....but eating rare meat reminds me that I am eating the flesh of some animal. My gag reflex starts at medium rare.

Cook it to medium or medium well and it longer reminds me that I am actually eating something that was once alive.

It does sound weird :-D You are eating the flesh of some animal, no matter how you cook it.

True, but I'm guessing if I walked into a slaughterhouse, I wouldn't be eating meat for a long while either!:icon_shy
 
Just out of curiousity....Why do you not like your ground meat pink? Fear of E coli or just random?

That's not his preference, it's the standard guidance for ground meat. If you grind your own you can cook it however you like it, but with commercially ground meat the recommendation is 160 - 165.

Ron,

I'm gonna turn it around on you. If you soaked uncooked meat in acid cerveche style (I guess that makes it safe to eat)? would you appreciate it not cooked at all? It DEFINITELY would be juicy.:shock:
 
I am NOT a member of this club, came on to just mention i converted one of these type meat eaters to a raw is better =) My wife wont eat any steak over med rare now. You ruin good steak and lamb and many more by taking it past med rare. It makes me sad to think any animal had to die to be overcooked :tsk: lol

Why waste perfectly good charcoal on a medium rare cook? Just put it on the grates and give it a good once over with the blowtorch.:icon_shy
 
I'm a new member so I'll take some grief. Anything coming off my grill is well done, no pink. When I was 12 years old, me a friend and his dad went to a steakhouse for dinner. Me and my buddy thought it would be a good idea to order our steaks rare. Then we got to goofin around about it. When the steaks got there we both cut into them, it was a blood pooling experience, literally. They were cold, heck the mushrooms that came with it were still semi-frozen, and stretched off the fork. My friends old man made us sit there and eat everything. No sending them back no complaining. That's what we ordered, that's what we got. Traumatized me to the point of whether or not it has been cooked to the safe temp if there is pink it is still going to make me sick. I have tried to get over it and 18 years later I just can't push through it.
 
danparker77,

Welcome to the club.

See Ron, I'm not the only one with "The animal is still bleeding if it is red" phobia.

Here's a serious question for all you undercookers.....

IF it was "Discovered" that chicken is safe to eat rare, would you cook and eat your chicken rare?

If not, why not?

It depends on what it tasted like rare. If it was safe, and tasted good, sure.

As far as beef goes, hey I'm a rare-dang near raw meat guy. You've heard people say "Cut off it's horns and wipe it's butt." Not for me. Leave the horns on so I have something to hold onto. Since I don't like my steak handled too much, wiping it's butt is optional.

WvSmoke,

Not only are you not in the club, I think you made some of the hard core undercookers grimace. :heh:
 
I rather have my steaks at medium or medium well, I would say the majority of the steaks are cook medium well.
