raw meat safe to eat?

Steak Tartare is basically raw seasoned chopped steak with raw onion and a raw egg. People have been eating that for ages without dying.

I eat most meats rare.
 
Beef is fine raw, but it's best to cook it since certain worms (+eggs) can exist in raw meat, where cooking it can kill them +eggs. As for the actual raw meat vs. body process, it's perfectly fine, enzyms work on meat, they aren't gonna check if it's cooked or not :D

Cooking it usually just used to concentrate flavours (less water, opposite of diluting), and killing bacteria and other nasties like worms. Biggest danger posed from eating raw meat is contracting worms, bacteria is dealt with by your immune system.
 
Beef and Lamb as said can be eaten raw. Pork doesn't hae to be cooked all the way through, a bit of pinkness is fine but I wouldn't suggest trying it raw :p

Poultry has Salmonella running all the way through it, so unless you enjoy your bowels loosening up and your digestive system running in reverse I suggest you all cook it :D
 
Don't like any meat raw it has to be well cooked defently even seeing pink would put me off it quite a bit i reakon.

Although if i was blindfolded i probably wouldn't notice unless i had food poisoning the next day hehe :)
 
beef has to be cooked where the knife runs. duck can be eaten raw so can lamb. dont think id like raw pork or chicken though
 
You can eat Beef raw, and some fish I think. I guess that chicken is dodgy because of Samenella. But is samenella due to human intervention and breeding techniques over the years? Lions, cats, dogs and foxes etc. would eat raw chicken, so I don't see why humans couldn't.
 
haha, i watched that too, that lass from the countryside is a right dumbass, so is the man.....

you can eat raw meat, yeah, but not like them! 4 months old *raw* meat...

if you generally are on a cooked food diet, and then suddenly change to raw meat, your body will not feel well, as you can see as the kids had hamburgers etc. and felt ill, thats cos their body was use to other things...

well i generally like to keep with the flow, cos in the stone ages lol, they cooked their food....
raw meat really sucks ass though, cos it could have diseases etc, and cooked food usually doesen't have all the crap inside.

So is beef carpaccio (thin sliced raw beef) and thats is pretty tasty
 
My dad loves it, he'd used to buy a pack of raw beef from Tesco while shopping then eat it in the car on the way home. It used to make me feel ill seeing it, but each to their own, got sort of used to it now

He does it with bacon to, he'll just take a slice out the packet and eat it.
 
most red meat is fine to eat raw, beef/lamb/venison etc etc, but i wouldn't eat chicken/pork/turkey raw.

Yeah I read about eating raw meat yesterday funnily enough. It said as long as it is good quality and clean it is much better for you than cooked meat.

I would imagine however that it would be disgusting. Imagine eating a raw steak. Someone try it.....let me know if it's tough.

I eat my beef "blue" sometimes if it's a nice steak it's really good.

You need to be sure

a) of the restaurants kitchen

b) of the origins of the beef.

A chef told me that those that order their meat rare get the best cuts where as you can give someone any old stuff if it's ordered "well done"
 
If it's fresh enough and has come from a good source then i would eat any red meat raw. It's impossible to fulfill those caveats with supermarket meat unfortunately.

Well you are not a Lion cat dog or a fox.

Their digestive system is totally different from ours. Don't they have functioning appendix and all sorts of different enzymes in the stomach and gut to break stuff like that down.

Dog's eat poo and other generally horrid stuff and don't get ill.
I'd like to see us do that !

We've evolved to have opposable thumbs and give us the means of cooking our food. At the same time the rest of our bodys evolved and we no longer can digest things we did we millions of years ago.

I know of a few people who did and still do this. A butcher told me that there is so many preservitives and salt in sausages that it'll kill any nasty bugs off.

Not really much meat in most sausages either !
 
Cooked meats are better for you.

When prehistoric man made the jump from raw to cooked meats, it also lead the evolutionary jump to a massive increase in brain size. The main reasons being, once meat is cooked, we absorb the protiens and other nutrients at a much quick and abundant (sp?) rate. Plus a whole host of other reasons.

In essence, trust the americans to start the reverse evolutionary chain. Some would say that happened a long time ago :p

all of what you wrote is nonsense , cooking meat destroys nutrients(vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.) it destroys enzymes , protein is depleted and to say cooked meat was responsible for the increase in brain size is a unfounded remark.

there is more evidence of the discovery and experimentation of psilocybin being responsible for the human brain getting larger due to increased thought and imagination.
