I've had these Cannibal Sandwiches years ago before moving out of WI in the mid 80s, never got sick.

Yea no thanks, can't even cook it a little? Medium? Geez.

Let he who has never enjoyed sushi/sashimi cast the first sone.

You philistine.

Since it's WI, I'm pretty sure the idea is that the alcohol will sterilize the beef once they meet in your stomach.

I don't know what's with the trend of people getting "medium-rare" burgers. That's fucking nasty. I'll eat a rare steak any day of the weak, but cook my burger well done.

Bacteria is on the surface of the meat, so a quick sear on a steak will kill anything bad. When you grind the beef you mix all the bacteria into the burger, so if you have an under-cooked burger, you can easily get sick.

Cooking ground beef to medium does nothing to help with killing bacteria. You have to cook anything with ground meat well done to be safe.

A whole piece of meat can be under-cooked because the bacteria is still on the surface and hasn't been mixed into the rest of the meat.

Real men eat well done anything lower then that is for pansies.

I like it raw and wriggling.

Bacteria is delicious.

I actually had a chef at a restaurant come out one time when I ordered my burger well done and tell me that they recommended it cooked medium-rare, and they couldn't guarantee it wouldn't be dry when cooked well-done.

Really? If you can't cook a burger through without drying it out, you're doing something wrong.

There's a difference between well done and burnt - unfortunately, a lot of restaurants don't know the difference.

I would only eat those if I ground the meat myself.

...after killing it, butchering it, washing it, giving it a once-over with surgical scrub, and grinding myself in a sterilized grinder.

Having food poisoning is the second worst way I've ever spent a holiday.

Very carefully.

I've been to a few restaurants that serve steak tartare as an appetizer... Of course, they took steak and ground it on site, just before serving it. That's different than buying it pre-ground....waiting a few days and then eating it.

Either way, I couldn't do it.

My friend in college would take raw steak out of the packaging on the way home from the grocery store and start chowing down. I find it (and even moreso, raw hamburger) repulsive but if that's what you enjoy, more power to you. Getting sick off it sucks though.

Food science - learn it.

EDIT: Technically it is possible to make a burger that is not dry when well-done, but it would no longer be 100% beef.

There's a reason we invented fire.

When I was younger I used to love eating raw chopped meat. That was before the mixed the brown ass parts in the middle of the red.

Is it a trend? I hope so, although I haven't noticed it. I've preferred my burgers medium rare for over 40 years. Mmmm-mm!

About three weeks in I noticed this real strong blood-like taste in the back of my throat and then all of a sudden I started getting strong cravings for it.



Nice fridge buddy:
