primitives discuss cooking hamburger

[BlueStateSaint]

If you're ever eaten at Delmonico's in Vegas

There's one of those in Colonie.  I've got to go sometime.

To my Husbands horror, I love my burgers and steaks charred LOL!

Again, this gets back to one of the points I made quite some time ago.

Those of us who like our food well-done and safe to eat keep our mouths shut when observing others of us who like their food underdone and dripping with grease.

After all, it's just good manners, courtesy.  To each his own, that sort of thing.

But those of us who like their food underdone and dripping with grease feel no compunction, no hesitation, no inhibition, about loudly criticizing, especially in public, those of us who like our food well-done and safe to eat.

Sometimes it's hard to be polite, to keep one's temper, under such conditions, but one manages.....

My dad likes his food rare. As soon as you drop his steak on the grill he starts complaining that you're overcooking it. I like mine cooked very well-done. My dad calls it parched.

My wife and I stopped somewhere on vacation once that had a buffet. Everything looked great. Especially the meat. After we sat down and I cut into my meat I just sat there staring at the bloody mess. My wife asked what was wrong. I told her that I had seen animals injured worse than that get well so I was trying to decide whether to eat it or bandage it up and set it free. She gave me one of those looks so I quickly stabbed it with my fork. She asked, "what's the problem now?" I told her I thought I had saw it move just a little. She called me a smart ass. I get called that a lot. Never fine ass. Always smart ass.

Since then I'll still occasionally stop at a buffet, but now I never get the meat until I've checked it out.

Only a few months back I went to the local steak house and ordered a steak very well-done. As I was eating the manager came by. She told me that cooking it that way cooked out all of the flavor. I told her it tasted fine PLUS I didn't have to worry about it trying to get up and escape.

1.   at your story!
2.  Better to be a smart ass than a dumb ass.  
3.  You should be able to get a steak anyway you want without fuss.  I mean hell, you ARE paying for it.  
4.  If I ever happen to be sitting at a table with you while eating a steak, I will prop the menu up as a screen so you don't see the bloody mess.

You wouldn't have to worry about propping up the menu. It doesn't bother me seeing it on someone else's plate. I just don't like to see it on mine.

But coach, oh my dear coach...how do you find it in your heart to say no to this?



Now I grant you, this is more tending towards medium, but still, I'd have no problem whatsoever putting a huge dent into that bone-in cowboy ribeye piece of magnificence right there.

Add one of Emeril's BBQ Shrimp appetizers, wilted spinach salad, and sides of twice-baked potato and creamed spinach...pure heaven, I say.

Oh--congrats on 17,000 posts, Sparky . . . one before you hit it.

Like I have an aversion to egg whites? I also have an aversion to meat with fat on it. I would hardly eat any of that steak, even though it looks beautiful, because I'd trim all the fat off. It wouldn't go to waste though because my Husband would eat it.

Well!  I have never seen a nation so divided since the Civil War as to now with the meat and eggs.  Can we ever heal?  Will we throw each other into re-education camps?  And what about beans in the chili?  These are times that try mens' souls.

Excellent point Karen. Things are certainly Chili on Wall Street.  Anarchists intend to make Hamburg of the financial system.  Better stock up on Beano as it may soon be Chili sin Carne.

But dearest, there's not much fat per se on a ribeye, only in the "eye" itself, and if it's a high-quality piece of beef, a small amount at that. 

But the marbling, oh my, the marbling...

I'm not crazy about marbling either LOL.

Me neither!  Beef, chicken and pork fat just grosses me out nowdays.  Seriously gags me - so I remove it.   

Ground beef doesn't even appeal.

My favorite place - Omaha Steaks - doesn't even entice me anymore.   I must be turning into a vegetarian --- aak! 

Help!
