Raw Meats...

Your girlfriend has worms, stay away from her behind!!!!!!

Wait, we are omnivores yet shouldn't eat raw meat?

We evolved with fire. Also most of the time there's no problem eating raw meat as long as it's fresh and worms generally don't kill you.

But whats the point of evolving so you need fire to eat a dead chicken?
That's just crazy.

less chance of dying. Fires very good for killing any nastys. Far easier to evolve that way, than for an immune system to defeat it.

Nothing wrong with eating raw meat at all. Chicken is a suspect one but everything else is fine.

As for pork. The meat is ok to eat raw but the bones are actualy poisonious to humans but not servere, you would probably just fall ill for a few days nothing more.

I would like to add that beef, raw is especially nice. I would not try the braising steak (chuck steak) as it will rip your teeth out, but a nice tender bit of fillet or T-Bone will go down a treat.

You can eat minced beef raw, there's a dish called steak tartare which is exactly that, though I'd be very wary and ensure that the meat has been freshly ground or minced.

Raw pork or chicken no thanks!

Wrong wrong wrong.

Although the high standards of checking meat for quality mean that getting such a disease is quite unlikely. I really wouldn't recommend eating 'raw' meat of any sort.

Beef yes
Pork and chicken - NEVER.

Pork sausages are ok i think.

Butchers(i think) and sausage experts can judge quality of sausages by eating it before it is cooked!

Well im still here without any problems.. Maybe my defence is better than most people.. Maybe it because I ate worms as a kid and licked stones etc.. helps your immune system..

Dont get me wrong im not disagreing with you but Pork is ok to eat raw.. like I said the younger people today might not have a chance with it but I did and so do most people my age.. Kids these days are wrapped in cotton wool.

Same here! Tried raw sausage meat a few times, whilst not my fav choice of dish it wasn't too bad. I was a butcher for a number of years, one of the old guys i worked with used to eat raw sausage & bacon quite often, the only time he ever had a day off work was when he stabbed himself with a knife and not with any eating disorders.

 

[Guigsy]

I've once eaten some diced pork that I assumed was cooked and wasn't. Tasted OK, but I wished I'd cooked it first.

MOST of the time you'll be fine, but why risk it?

Yay a fellow Butcher (ex) .. I been Butchering for 12 years before moving on to fishmongery...

Cant beat a little raw bacon and sausage.

 

[scorza]

Raw good quality beef or horse is fine to eat, see for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_tartare

I'd wouldn't touch anything else raw though. Ugh.

 

[zain]

Vile.

Strangely I was discussing raw meat eating before, I wouldn't do it. Surely it imposes a health risk.

Without trying to sound patronising.... no. Just, no

It would be very unlikely to catch such a disease in the UK due to good checking of meat quality.

So in a way I was right regarding what I said. Its ok to eat raw meat.

 

[mattyfez]

The only time I would ever eat raw meat is if it was smoked or cured, but then its not really raw.

Dont x ammount of raw supermarket chicken supposed to contain all sorts of dangerous bacteria? i read that somwhere.....salmonela and other stuff...

eating raw meat is just asking for trouble.

... no, whilst you may not get ill from eating raw meat, you are greatly, if not infinately increasing your risk from poisoning, parasitic infection and other disease.

Far from 'ok', I hope you would agree!
