The Raw Meat Thread

[innonimatu]

I eat raw meat (as in not cooked or heated by other means) quite often in the from of raw sausage or raw ham. It didn't occur to me until now that other people might never eat raw meat.

I don't think there is anything raw in sausage or ham, or you'd get food poisoning, with the kind of raw materials the industry uses! They're either already cooked or cured. Not what I'd call raw.

Raw ham? Are you sure it's at least not smoked or something?

 

[Ramius75]

just had this yesterday. its good.

as for other raw meat. i only eat sushi but other red meat should be at least cured or medium Raw...

 

[Zelig]

When I go hunting I eat the animals still warm.

 

[GoodGame]

I don't eat steak often, and mostly like it medium to well-done.

I'll eat sushi from some restaurants, but overall I'm not a raw flesh fancier.


@Zelig, Really?

It can be smoked, but there is also the type that is only salted and dried. If you don't want it to go bad very quickly you have to treat it somehow, but I guess it depends on the definition 'raw' how much treatment it takes until it isn't raw anymore.

It certainly isn't cooked or heated in any other way and that is what I called raw.

Well, the one place in SF we went to I REALLY liked... and mostly for the food, even though the atmosphere was great too.

I frequent an all you can eat sushi place here.. it's pretty good, but has nothing on the place in SF (Wish I could remember the name)

I'm gonna try a fancy sushi house, I know we have a couple.. and see how that compares

How could've you liked it for the food when you know nothing about good sashimi. You realize you throwing around words like fresh is like walking out of great steakhouse saying man that steak was great, it mustve been fresh.


Me thinks youve had a case of emperor's clothes more than you'd like to admit.

Not sure why you have to be a douche about it. There is probably quite a few fresh seafood eateries in San Fran. It is, after all, a coastal city.

Because when I put it in my mouth it was like a culinary angel discharging in my mouth.

I don't know much about sashimi but I know food, and what I ate at that restaurant was more delicious than almost anything else I've ever eaten in my entire life.

Eh, it was a piece of fish, freshness must have played a big part in how good it tasted.. I mean, it's not like there were any other ingredients. It was just fish.. that's it.

Not that what you wrote really warrants a response, but I'm feeling generous.

Yeah, I just irradiate it to kill off bacteria first.

We're talking about eating tenderized intentionally aged fish ranging from anywhere between few days to couple of weeks. I'm sure san fran has plenty of fresh fish, but how is that relevant to this process.

Warpus; if you ate truly fresh fish your description would've been 'rough and chewey' than usual. Not culinary orgasm that you had from being affected by the shenenigans around it. Sorry.

 

[warpus]

So it wasn't fresh then, so what? It was good. What are you, Gordon Ramsey's long lost sister?

 

[NetGear]

I don't doubt that you really enjoyed it, but you could've been served nonsense and still liked it if it was garnished right, so it doesn't matter.

It was just fish.. that's it.

Exactly. I mean how different could grocery rotten fish be from fancy rotten fish? Quite a bit actually, but neither you or I should worry about that irrelevant minute subtle difference and stop playing games in your head. Even if you got a clear difference, the detail would just fly above your head. So it doesn't matter. That's my point.

but if you enjoy the fantasy go right ahead and spend more.

I thought raw meat was supposed to be bad because of all the diseases that can be found.

The lack of cooking requires more of a person's digestive system too.

 

[Grisu]

so does cured or smoked count as raw? if that's the case I often eat smoked meat, of course

my favourite being Mostbröckli (nevermind the disgusting name) something like that

if those don't count, I don't think I've ever had raw meat.

Ham is not raw. Curing the meat is a type of cooking process due to chemical reactions rather than heating it up.

Smoking the meat is another form of cooking the food, just a much slower process and it gives a flavour to the meat. It seems people only assume heat is the method of making things cooked.

 

[Mise]

Yeah, all raw is uncooked, but not all uncooked is raw. Otherwise beer is raw grain, cheese is raw milk, etc.

@NetGear: I think Warpus is old enough to decide what kind of food he likes.

 

[Grisu]

sow raw's basically just the fresh form the animal, dripping blood kinda thing? In that case I've never had it....maybe I'll try steak tartar one time, but it just doesn't sound too appealing to me...I prefer it cooked (though i prefer it less cooked the older I get)

 

[Mise]

Yeah, well, it's not that interesting to tell you that I eat Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese sandwiches for lunch every now and then

I'd say anything fermented / pickled (by bacteria, vinegar) isn't raw.
