-We cook our meat rather than eat it raw. (This seems to be a sign of HERESY to the yankees.)
I was born and raised in the South, and yet I cringe every time someone orders a steak rare. I know its technically safe, but I
always order my beef, at minimum, medium or medium-well. I don't mind consuming
my own blood, since I had frequent nose bleeds as a child and am quite familiar with how my blood tastes, but the blood (or blood-looking fluid) of other critters? I'll pass, thank you. You can decry it as "carbonized" all you want, but when the prions come a-knocking, they'll be turning
your brains into sponges, and not mine.
