So I cooked these masterful burgers for dinner and everybody's like 'waaaah I see pink in the middle.' Burgers were well done but had a hint of pink because they were so thick. I had to recook them. What a bunch of pansies!

They would never survive a post zombie apocalypse with that attitude.

I'd reply: "no one is forcing you too eat"



It's like me making a awesome ragu with fresh pasta and my brother smothering it in ketchup before tasting, it should be a hanging offense!

I'm just to the point were I refuse to ruin food for people's moronic phobias. I stopped doing it for my wife and no she refuses to eat a steak that's well done.


My mother can take some of the best steaks on the planet and turn them in to boot leather. It's disgusting what people do to their food by over cooking it...

I dont mind eating red meat but I have issues with red ground beef unless it was designed to be a tartar.


The reason being, when you buy ground beef from a butcher/store, they mix all kinds of different meats into the grinder - there is no guarantee to how clean the grinder is. If you buy the specialty meat destined to be a tartar, they will make it special for you to be extra clean and fresh unlike the standard ground beef.

My wife is like that.

Burgers have to be solid brown all the way through. Worse - they can not have even a hint of juices. If they drip at all, she shrieks "theirs still blood in it! cook it more!"

I've taken to putting her burgers on the grill a solid 10 minutes before mine, and then taking them off at the same time. I have to squish it constantly to get every bit of juice out of it so that it's as much like a hard brown hockey puck as I can possibly get it.

If you have a real butcher or can find one at a store that's not an asshole, you can buy whatever cut of meat you want and ask them to grind it for you.

You can - I just mean if i'm out and get a burger then I expect it's from the set of beef the butcher has set aside with the expectation it will be cooked all the way through.


I'm a big fan of steak tartar (raw ground beef) but I know that it comes specially prepared and maintained (i've never been sick). Red steak is ok too because it has not been mixed with other cuts of beef.

My ground beef I like cooked. Very little pink. My steak is a different story, medium to medium rare.

People are such god damned brain washed pussies these days.

Cooking anything until it is a uniform mass of mushy gray shit isn't going to protect you from food borne illness, it's just going to protect you from ever enjoying food that doesn't taste like mod.

You are 10,000,000 times more likely to get infected by the fricken lettuce on your burger than from the meat. That mayo you pile on it? Yep, it's thousands of times more likely to kill you than if you ate the burger mod raw.

Sorry, but one of my biggest pet peeves.
