=============================
 MR> I will also admit, now that we are
 MR> talking about it ( and I know it wasn't good ) When my Mom used to
 MR> buy fresh hamburger from across the street at the little neighborhood
 MR> market, I would eat the raw hamburg..

Me too, and as I posted here just now that my mother was kind of
phobic about more than a trace of pink in meat, there was a bit
of a to-do about that, especially as I instilled the love of red
red meat in my sister as well. It got to the point that (bless
her on this one) she actually bought a meat grinder so the rest
of the family could enjoy rare burgers. Unfortunately, the need
to break down the thing and clean it after use got sort of onerous,
so that didn't last too long - we'd get rare burgers out and
adhere to the gentle fiction that out in the back kitchens the
restaurants were grinding the meat to order.

 MR> You could not longer get fresh apple Cider due to the E. Coli.

I think our distinguished moderator Mr. Sacerdote had something
to say on this subject a while ago, perhaps here or maybe on
his blog, which as I recall is davescupboard.blogspot.com.

 MR> Same as the Pink slime thing today.. people have been eating it for
 MR> years. Now the news reports on it and calls it pink slime and it is
 MR> some goo from hell meant to make us sick. I respect that people have a
 MR> fear of it, but I don't worry about it myself. We have had it for years
 MR> and just did not know about it. I guess ignorance is bliss..

It's filler protein and a way of adding a percent to the bottom
line. I'd not be inclined to eat it raw and would probably prefer
to refrain from it altogether, but if it's in a cooked dish, what's
the big old deal.

 MR> I think that getting sick is not any easier now than years
 MR> ago, it's just the focus on it that makes it seem worse.

Pretty much the way I feel. There are superbugs out there, and
we may succumb someday to such, but I don't see the big panic
about our current food supply, which is probably as clean as
it's ever been or is going to get.

  Now I would
 MR> not recommend people go out and eat undercooked or raw eggs etc. and
 MR> definitely not raw meat

I recommend all those things, with the understanding that people
have to know when take their own risks.

      Title: Raw Kibbee
 Categories: Beef, Lamb, Ethnic
      Yield: 4 servings

      2 lb Round steak or lamb                 1 ts Salt
    3/4 c  Fine bulgar                         1    Olive oil
    1/2 ts Cumin

  Put bulgar in a bowl and cover with warm water.  The water should cover the
  bulgar and be about 1 inch above the bulgar.  Let soak until water is
  absorbed and bulgar is soft.(about 1/2 hour) Remove ALL fat and membranes
  from meat(I prefer beef) and grind twice. Combine meat, bulgar, cumin, and
  salt.  Mix by hand until throughly mixed. Pat kibbee onto a platter or
  plate.  Make a hole in middle of kibbee and fill with olive oil. Serve with
  pita bread. Serve immediately. Posted by Dar Rains, Fidonet Cooking
