can humans eat raw meat.

I don't mind Oysters raw. Again, another food I wouldn't really opt-in to eat, but if it's there, I'll go for it.

I prefer my steaks well done.

I'm fairly sure the reason certain religions dislike pork and shellfish is because they started in warm places where eating pork or shellfish that were even a few hours old could give you the terminal shits.

That'll put the fear of a higher power into you, won't it?

...blue steak?

Is that like the cut of a cow that was specifically bruised for the purpose of cutting hardened meat from it or something?

I recall my parents eating a tender part of beef that would break up if cooked. They dipped the pieces in raw egg and ate it.

Edit: It's yukhoe/yukke. There were incidents of people dying in Japan from improperly prepared yukhoe.

I can't stand undercooked animal products. I prefer my fruits and vegetables as raw as they come though; cooking a carrot deprives it of the joy of being a carrot.

This. It makes them not as crunchy and I think they lose a bit of sweetness. Carrots are meant to be eaten raw.

No. It's steak that has been cooked just long enough to seal the meat. Basically, a minute to a minute and a half each side, tops.

All this talk about raw meat makes me want a ceviche or some sashimi.

I prefer oysters raw to cooked because when its cooked it tends to be a little bitter even more so when its deep fried.

I love sashimi, but red meat or poultry must be cooked at least slightly if I'm going to eat it.

I think I have some ceviche at hand. Damn, it's awesome.

I eat pretty much all of my meat bloody/under-cooked. Occasionally raw, too, although that's not something I'd do daily. (I'd rather have my meals warm rather than cold. Hell, that's the only reason I bother cooking it in the first place.)

Mr. Mallard Yeah I agree with you there, I like my meat cooked well, but if its cooked it doesn't taste like carrot (same might go with meat, but I don't like the taste of meat, I'm just to lazy to be a vegetarian, and get my protein other ways).

Personally I've always preferred my steak after I use it to destroy a vampire.

We are no longer friends.

^^^ Come here for a minute. My bayonet would love to meat your insides for that.

Well, seeing as I ate some Nigiri sushi in my time, yes. I hold no issue with raw seafood and have never gotten sick eating it.

Gather round, and allow me to tell the story of "The Baconator."

My brother's Heterosexual Life-Partner is well known for having family of questionable sanity and intelligence. His sister, for instance, is infamous for doing stupid stuff in the middle of the night.

One night she woke up and got hungry and just decided that she'd have bacon! However, she wanted to be polite and not wake up the family, so she ate it raw. She was sick for a week with food poisoning.

Weird, because a cousin of mine once had a whole pack instead of ham and she was fine...

I'm gonna say she was really unlucky. It's just bad stuff seems to happen to her often.

Also, I'm sorry, but how exactly does that even happen? I can't imagine just eating strips of bacon and not realizing it's not ham.

ham is different to bacon. It's precooked.

Neither could I. She's always been a muppet.

I know.

Yeah misinterpreted your comment.
