/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It makes you sick because of bacteria and viruses on the meat, and any flies or fleas the animal had before it got processed.

If it's not cooked properly you die, that's where it comes from

>>13701607
Whoa there, kiddo. We're rationing the use of punctuation right now. One interrogative mark or exclamation mark per sentence.

Thinly veiled steak snob thread.

>>13701625
I don't care how people like their steaks. My problem lies in getting my order changed because some people don't know how cooking food works.

>>13701607
Bro you know that even thoroughly cooked foods can make you sick, right?

>>13701633
>go to restaurant
>see item on the menu that I want
>order it
>waiter hesitates
>parents say that I shouldn't order it
If it's an option on the menu, why can't I order it? The only way to thoroughly cook your food and still get sick is by being retarded enough to not spot mold or other obvious blemishes on what you're preparing.

What type of faggot lets people change his order for him?

>>parents say that I shouldn't order it
Seems like your problem is either being broke or being underage

Why are Americans doing that to themselves?

>he doesn't visit his parents
I pity the lot of (You), but I walked right into that one. Anyway, I didn't feel like arguing so I figured whatever. They can't do this to me when I'm out with friends

>>13701646
>parents

Ahahaha

>>13701856
I visit my parents all the time and they have never straight up changed an order for me. Be an adult.

>>13701868
My parents have never told me to change my order and they wouldn't because I pay for my own meals, but they have criticized my choices occasionally. Like typical boomers, they have reservations about under cooked/raw meat. I won't take them to one of my favorite local restaurants, because they balk ever time I order the steak tartare.

Are people still repeating the one about not swimming after you eat?

Can't fucking believe someone stole the ending to my O&A fanfic.

>>13701607
I eat medium rare if I know the provenance of the meat or if it's a respectable establishment. Otherwise it's well done. I don't care if people look at me funny. It's my food for which I payed. If I want my steak boiled in orange juice, I'll order that.

>when people think the red coloration in a steak (prior to well done) is blood

>>13701607
I've been to (terrible) restaurants where they refuse to serve beef any rarer than medium

>>13701868
I already tried to tell them that there is nothing wrong with a medium rare steak but they weren't having it. It's not like it was the last steak in the world so I figured the issue was not really worth pursuing at the time. I do see what you mean though.

>You need to drink 10 tall glasses of water every day!
>Soda contains caffeine, so despite it being 99% water, it actually dehydrates you!

>>13701611
The meat is so dense that most harmful things cant penetrate it. It's only the outside that needs to be cooked really. Hence the practice of aging beef. You cut away the inedible parts to reveal the precious center

>>13701607
I'll take things that never really happened for $1000, Alex.

>>waiter hesitates
I am a low-level restaurant manager. Menus are decided by upper management or corporate. They're probably not in the building more than once a month.

That waiter knows who is on the line, what's going on with the food that day and and whether or not cooks are retarded enough to not spot mold or other obvious blemishes on what they're preparing.

For example, last year our refrigerator died in the middle of the night. I threw out basically all the meat product. However, one of my co-managers resisted. He said "nah man, that lobster was frozen yesterday. Look it still smells fine." The lobster was room-temp to the touch.

That waiter may have witnessed something like that where thd other mgr didn't throw it out, because they'd get reamed for dumping $120 of potentially-good lobster.
