Thats a tough one.  We eat pork about as much as beef.  But if it came down to it, I'd have to go beef.  Nothing beats a good steak.  Unless it's bacon wrapped steak.   :drool:

If I had to choose one food animal - without question it would be the pig. There's not very many bits that cannot be cooked into something tasty.

I went with beef.  But it was a hard choice as I also really like the other options as well.

I don't have any digestive problems with beef. I just won't eat it if it's cooked more than barely medium on a hamburger, or much beyond rare on steak or prime rib. I have no problem sending it back if it's overcooked.

Beef. well done.

We went out to dinner Saturday night with friends.

I ordered a steak and steamed broccoli. The other half ordered linguine with white clam sauce that was an appetizer portion. He ordered a dinner portion so that I could have some.

He didn't like it after a couple of bites...it wasn't the traditional white clam sauce that the restaurant has had for years. I liked it, and since I had only eaten a couple bites of my steak....I ate his linguine.

I got a "to-go" box for my steak and broccoli.

I left it on the booth seat.... :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:

Because it tastes good?

Where is it written that one has to grate a half-pound of horseradish for a chunk of prime rib?

Fresh grated, into a bit of sour cream with a touch of white pepper and garlic powder.

Just a hint to a bite.... :drool:

I have NEVER gotten e-coli from rare/ raw beef. I eat rare/ raw beef all of the time. As a matter of fact, until the late 80s or early 90s, hamburger was usually safe to eat in it's raw/ rare form. When I was young, I often ate raw hamburger. Something about the relatively new process of heating the meat to get it off the bone before grinding has exacerbated the e-coli problem. That, and the amount of uncaring illegal aliens involved in the meat processing industry. I have taken to grinding my own hamburger lately. If I DO use a processing plant ground hamburger, I usually cook that well done, as in chili, spaghetti, etc. I have found that chuck roast is about the same cost, if not cheaper, as most hamburger meat. I just have to break out the grinder and get busy. The last e-coli infection I had was due to negligence of the medical industry/ hospital. THAT almost killed me.

I think I am leaning toward pork.... ham, bacon, sausage, pork chops, ribs.... a truly magical animal.

Luckily, we really don't have to make this choice.

unless the animal was diseased at the time of slaughter (which the USDA should catch), the interior of the muscle is sterile.  It's the exterior parts that have been exposed to the air by butchering that potentially harbor bacteria.  Proper storage and clean workspace for prep are a must, but cooking it all the way through is not required for whole cuts of beef.  Ground beef OTOH needs to be cooked through.

I voted beef, but only because it was closest of those on the list to what would be my real choice: venison.  :fuelfire:

I USED to eat plenty of ground beef raw. NEVER got sick. (I caught food poisoning from the Galley more than anything else) The problem with the ground beef of the last decade+ is the way it's processed. They no longer simply cut it off the bone and grind it.

I used to eat it raw all the time.

I don't think I've eaten store bought raw hamburger in at least 5 or 6 years. I'm always tempted...but I resist.

Now, if I can go to a restaurant that serves steak tartare....I have it!! :drool: (after I make sure they don't put egg in it)
