anyone try eating raw meat?

[ketomonster]

I hear its better than cooking,  Im gonna try it.  

[Scott F.]

I never have myself. I can't even do sushi so I doubt meat would ever be a possibility for me.

I cook meat all the way through. Always well done. Well cooked.

the one thing I will eat raw are eggs, sometimes raw eggs

I eat raw meat all the time, especially, beef and salmon.

I've sampled raw hamburger (supposedly more dangerous) and raw steak. It was alright. I've also sampled raw liver and thought it was better than cooked liver.

But I've only done it once. I'm a fan of cooked meat

Have eaten plenty of raw meat (never pork or chicken). Not as of late. Define "better".

I find that its an ever sliding scale for me.  Ive been carnivore for right about 2 years now, and in the beginning, preferred my meat fully cooked.  Nowadays, I get it a little warm in a pan or over the fire and thats just right.  I like to leave it out at room temp a while before cooking, so it isnt freezing in the center, but thats me.  Way more nutrients left in there without all the heat so Ive heard.

I need to do this more. I tend to go straight from the fridge to the pan. I can get a nice medium, but if it's thick it's either rare in the center or well done about 1/4" around before you get to the medium center.

I’ve eaten my fair share. Steak tartare, Mett, Parisa, Sushi, Sashimi, Ceviche and Poke.
I enjoy them all.
I like my steaks cooked blue to rare.

Raw beef is great, raw hamburger tastes good too, just make sure it's fresh

How’s that even possible 

that sounds gross

hpw do you know it’s fresh? As you say

you mean just eating a pound of raw ground beef from the store?

it sounds nasty

As I progressed into the carnivore diet, my tastes definitely changed.  Whereas I used to buy the cheapest butter I could find, now I buy the top grade stuff, and let me tell you, its worth it.  I can now tell just by tasting meat if it is fresh or not the relative fat content, and if has come from a local butcher or the grocery store.  Its an acquired skill, you might say.  Trust your body.  

Cooked meat will still give you plenty of nutrition, but you DO lose a lot of the value by overcooking.  Raw is actually best, if you can do it.

I thought it was gross at first too, but here I am, eating a pound of basically raw ground beef at lunchtimes, with a half a stick of top quality butter and loving it.  Never felt better.  I actually crave it.

I’m kind of appalled, kind of sicken, somewhat taken back and a lot disgusted 

I’m not eating raw beef

but I liked your thing about butter

what kind of better do you suggest)

[Skeptic]

Gosh, didnt mean to hurt any feelings!

Finlandia and Kerrygold are the best widely commercially available butters, but if you live anywhere near dairy country, you may find that other more local butters are superior.  I personally like the Cabot extra creamy premium butter, and my local favorite is Breakstone's out of Walton, NY

[Idunno]

Yeah I do Kerrygold unsalted, a big fan 

I can actually taste the difference between Kerrygold and cheap stuff

Years ago I had the hookup for raw butter from a local farm. It was probably best

And you can make your own.

Fresh as in, not frozen.

Ajonous Vonderplanitz cured his cancer eating steaks that were 1 year old in refridgerator.

I've eaten rotten meat without issue because there are no harmful bacteria, only poisonings.

Disgusting video, lol.

Wikipedia has a different take on what cured his cancer.

Apparently he was a raw food paleo advocate. I can't find anything outside of the Ripley's video that discusses the rotting flesh. But, that was definitely him in the video.
