My lunch

Nah, well done then cook it again...

It wants not only to be crispy on the outside, but crispy on the inside too...

Not for me.... I don't think I could eat it at all! I'd rather be a veggie!

My brother likes it like boot leather

I like mine rare, rather than blue. IF I'm gonna eat it raw then carpachio or tartar are better IMO.

Carpachio with lots of lemon squeezed over it - yum!! I like my steak blue so when it bleeds I can dip my chips in it!

A good steak shouldn't bleed!

It shouldn't start bleeding till it's getting to Medium Rare. Pink and bloody all the way through is good though.

Its not blood, its myoglobin

There is NO blood in the meat that you buy, blood left in meat would cause it to quickly spoil- in a matter of days. The animal is completely bled as it is slaughtered. The thin reddish juice which leaks from cut red meat is a tissue fluid rich in myoglobin, an iron-containing muscle component which gives the meat its red colour. It has no connection with blood.

Gosh, a genuinely interesting post!

I don't have a problem with the idea of raw meat, but I wonder if eating straight from the animal it wouldn't be a bit chewy?

Where do people stand on drinking blood?

WHS -

Not sure I'd want to drink blood - especially now that I know the tasty stuff to dip my chips in isn't actually blood!

No way I'd drink blood, also hate blood puding etc!!
But I do like liver and pate

There are tribes in Africa who bleed their cattle for food. The animals are far too valuable to slaughter and eat.

Black pudding? Love it!
(Turns yer sh!t black eating too much though...)
