You and Wv smoke should go out sometime. You would make a nice couple.

Right back atcha!

I know you have never eaten chicken prepared to FDA regulations because of two facts
1) No chef would ever do it
2) The human mandible could not tolerate the strain!

I can't even debate this one with ya buddy. I just look for an absense of pink in my chicken. Once juices run clear, it's edible.

If god had meant us to eat raw meat, he would not have made thoroughly cooked meat so yummy.

Question for you undercookers to ponder?

If undercooked meat is SOOOOO tasty, why do you do your que low and slow?

If you cooked low and fast, you would get some smoke on the outside, but the inside would still be nice and bloody....er juicy.

Any of you that hardcore?

I think you all wanna be on our team, you just are afraid to admit it.

I think your twisting things around a bit. The main purpose of BBQ is to take lower quality cuts that would be too tough cooked like a steak or rib roast, etc. and urn it into something wonderful. It has nothing to do with our preference for a certain degree of doneness. Trying to relate that to a preference for "undercooked" (as you put it) just isn't a fair comparison.

I want to hear my steaks MOO!

Regardless of how I like my steaks, lamb, porkchops or what have you, 9 pages for a thread in 24 hours is impressive.

[Lake Dogs]

Beef:
NY Strip and Rib Eye (Medium Rare or even Pittsburgh when you can find someone that knows what it is and how do to it properly)
Filet and T-Bone (Medium Rare)
Prime Rib (Medium, but not usually grilled)
Most other beef cuts as steak or hamburger (Medium Well)

Fowl (depends on how eating it, straight up just barely done is my favorite, but cooked to oblivion and falling apart in many dishes can be awesome too)

Fish (depends on the fish; for example I love sushi and sashimi, and tuna when not eaten raw and is still fresh is best RARE, love it fried [tough to beat a fried grouper poboy], blackened redfish is AWESOME, etc.)

Pork (cooked completely; which means NOT grilled. A loin can be best done at around 140 degrees, butt's, shoulders, etc. more in the range of 205 degrees, and ribs I like them pull cleanly from the bone, so that's probably around 185 degrees)

Deer (I usually dont care for it grilled, but just the right cut, all the fat removed and all the blood drained, medium rare can be awesome, but I prefer it cubed and fried or made into an almost fatless hamburger used in chili)

Bison (dont care for it much, otherwise see Deer above)

Possum (I dont but some do)

Squirrel (refer to Possum)

Neighbors Cat (best grilled slowly to medium well, with tandoori seasonings)

Neighbor [after he's pi**ed-off that you cooked his cat] (refer to Pork above)

^^^ point of note: I AM in the shadow of where they filmed "Fried Green Tomatos", and trust me, 'round here, The Secret IS In The Sauce

You left out one there Hance.

Perhaps I forgot more seafood:

Oysters (RAW baby, but a good oyster roast is nice, and a fried oyster poboy done right is tough to beat)

Shrimp (even sushi will cook 'em; like chicken, lightly done is best)


Ok, Guerry, what did I miss?

[deguerre]

Lamb, Dog. Lamb. Or, maybe you just don't like it?

I'm trying to think if I've ever had it... I'm a food adventure seeker (not bugs n stuff though), and I dont know that I can remember ever having it... I forgot one:

snails (grilled like shrimp, lightly done) And I DONT MEAN SLUGS

Hi!

I sit corrected. Makes sense, blood is in the veins, not the tissue. Doesn't change how I feel, though. There's so much food it the world to be adventurous with I can live without the adventure of trying to desensitize myself and eat non-blood bloody steak with a texture that feels so gross I gag on it because chewing it feels worse. I love the taste and texture of well-done steak, it makes me happy, makes my mouth happy and my joy spreads to everyone around me. Looks like that's one thing about me that doesn't need to be fixed.
