How do you like your burgers or meat cooked- rare, medium rare, or well done?
I prefer medium rare.. a bit bloody but not to bloody... he he bleh leh leh leh POP!
Answers: i liek it bloody..but not too bloody liek my menstrul clots mmhmhm!!! Flat out medium, no questions asked! Well-done. I don't think ground beef should ever be consumed underdone, too much risk for e.coli and hamburger disease :/ here in Canada, you hardly ever see restaurants offering degrees of doneness, i think its mostly an American thing actually.
EDIT: I mean different degrees of doneness for hamburgers. i don't ever see hamburgers here in Canada being offered anything but well done, but you most definitely choose the doneness for your steak. I like it extra rare, always have dunno y lol Medium rare. Burgers should always be prepared medium well to well, this is to kill all of the bacteria that can fester in your ground beef, because almost all surfaces have been exposed to bacteria, it is a breeding ground, i cook ground beef well.
steak on the other hand, depending on the cut i can go for a medium rare, its pretty good especially with a less tender cut of beef. this is not a bad thing to eat because the majority of the bacteria are on the outer edges, so you could essentially take a chef's blow torch to a steak and cook the outside leaving the inside cold and have no harm done (i know people who enjoy their steaks cold in the middle and do this).
all other meats however, as a general rule should be cooked thouroghly because they have things like worms (pork) and salmonela or ecoli (chicken) and if those arent killed before consumed, you are likely to get sick. Medium, but I like my steaks done medium rare (just so I can sop up the juices off my plate! yum!) Steaks I like rare, lamb tjops medium, hamburgers can be medium or well-done, pork tjops definately well-done [though just cooked through, otherwise its dry].
Sausages also cooked through but not really "well-done".
For another poster here: different degrees of "doneness" is definately not an American thing. Everywhere I've been in Africa and Europe its a thing that's asked in any semi-decent restaurant. rare, the more blood the better medium. not to bloody not dry.
