Pigeon isn't bad...tastes a lot like Eurasian Dove. Practically the same thing.

A lot of the meat we eat is safe, but if it's cooked rare, then the risk of you getting ascariasis is more likely than not. I've seen too many things associated with that to eat my meat that way. Medium, to medium well is o.k.

Rare? I wouldn't.

I like my steak medium rare. Hot/warm reddish to pinkish (a bit on the bright side of pinkish though) center.

This thread makes me hungry.

I order my steaks med-rare. I just don't want it to moo at me. My husband can take 'em blue, but I'm not there yet.

And yes, well-done is an affront to bovine dignity and deliciousness.

Oh, the steak has to be medium-rare, if not rare. In a pinch, a medium steak can be choked down with enough wine. Medium-well or well-done is a sin.

If you guys saw some of the things I've seen, you wouldn't eat your meat rare anymore.

Our meat is pretty healthy and it's not too often that people get worms from eating rare meat, it's just that the possibilities are greater. Raw hamburger meat is unacceptable. Eat that, and yes you can get worms. I've seen people eat raw bacon too. Pork should ALWAYS be cooked well done.

I don't mean to spoil anyones appetite, but the worms I had mentioned before are ascarids which are found in cats and dogs, but it's just another species of Toxocara canis whos larvae can migrate in people. You also invite tapeworms and stomach worms if you continue to eat rare meat. Believe me, you'll know you've got them because depending on the parasite, you will have stomach inflamation which can result in vomiting, loss of appetite ect ect. I think you get the idea.

If you want to have these living inside of you, keep eating rare. Your intestines will make a great home for them...rent free.

We get funny looks from my dad if we order medium, even. I don't think I've ever seen him order anything over medium rare.

Everyone on here talks about Happy Pony Rainbow Land or whatever...to me, HPRL would be a good filet, medium rare and a big fat stout beer (or good glass of whiskey or scotch, in the alternative).

[SOPi_Jawbreaker]

To me, HPRL sounds like if it was a food, it would be something overly processed, cloyingly saccharine, and completely devoid of nutritional value...like a Tastykake or Little Debbie Snack.

omg! lol I know tell me about it. Last night I went to Outback and ordered the Prime Rib dinner as a carry out, just because of this thread. Aynway, it was so good though. Of course it was "well done". They forgot to put my salad in the bag, but I didn't feel like driving back for it. It was too good to even think about the salad though.
