Has anyone ever eaten raw bloody meat before? Deliberatly?

I'm not talking fancy Italian hams here either, I'm talking STEAKS, BURGERS and MINCED BEEF.

Everytime I open a pack of mince my mouth waters - it always looks so red and delicious and I get seriously tempted. I've never done it though cause I fear it may put me off meat forever.

And what looks more delicious than a raw, red, minute steak?

fresh, red, raw meat (emphasis on "fresh" and "red") always looks fabulous. smells great too. i wish i could eat it.

what? it's a common thing to eat raw meat here. as a child i had to eat lots of it since i had iron deficiency (sp?).

Where's here? I'd love to visit! Is it comparable to cooked meat?

Yes, lovely. I generally cook my steak barely at all. Steak tartare is lovely if done with good meat.

like carpaccio? or just a slab of fucking pig?

When I was little, my mum would snip the rinds off the bacon and give it to my sister and me to chew. We weren't allowed chewing gum, so we saw this as our substitute.

Wow - that looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm salivating again. Is that raw mince?

― Rumpie, Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

you should definately not eat raw pork.

Freshly made raw Italian sausage, when eaten with fresh bread, is a thing of unique beauty. The fat becomes a chewing gum by the end of it.

am trying to think of some ilmers-annie-italian sausage gag...

PIG, NRQ, raw PIG. Yeah, raw pink thinly sliced bacon looks incredibly tasty too.

when i was young i used to take a piece of raw ground beef, put a little bit of salt on it and eat it raw.

i never got e-coli. if i have mad cow disease i didn't get it then. them were the days.

err, delete a raw from that first sentence. your choice.

E-coli doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I look at raw meat now and instead of thinking it's an evil hive of uncooked germs, I think of it as something natural, untouched by nasty oil or electric heat...

I'm afraid to eat raw meat (or cooked for that matter) that comes from a factory farm and/or that's been processed in a mass-production processing plant. Locally grown, organically fed & freshly butchered .. anything else freaks me out to the point of losing my appetite. (I think I was happier before I read about the meat industry.)

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:28 (twenty years ago)

I shall not read about the meat industry then. I'll avoid that as much as I avoid reading about 'pollutants in cannabis resin'.

I would sooner eat my own vomit. But, I would eat raw meat before I ate someone else's vomit.

the koreans do a thing (the name of which escapes me) with extremely good beef steak, sliced in thin strips, oil and whole cloves of raw wet garlic. made with bad ingredients, as you can probably imagine, this would be fucking awful; with good, i can tell you, it's one of the finest things i have ever eaten.

― stelfox, Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:33 (twenty years ago)

it's actually the raw egg that puts me off steak tartare - nothing to do with the raw meat whatsoever. however, the whole idea does strike me as european people just being too lazy to actually *cook* their hamburgers, then pretending it's a gourmet experience

― stelfox, Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

me too!
