: How do food shows and gourmet menu serve semi cooked sea food and meat without risking diseases?
In: 289
It’s not only good shows and gourmet menus.
Literally anyone can do this if the meat is decent quality and fresh.
Go buy a high quality steak from a butcher. Eat it raw. You’ll be fine.
Go buy some fresh salmon from a fishmonger. Eat it raw. You’ll be fine.
As long as it’s fresh, clean, well prepared and well stored these foods are not harmful.
Raw meat/fish is a risk factor because it can be a great environment for harmful things to grow. But that’s not intrinsic to the meat, that’s something that has contaminated the meat. (except parasites, as someone else has said).
People have eaten raw meat forever, we’ve just grown extra scared of it recently because we’re risk much less close to our food chain and the industrial processing of meat products tends to introduce more hazard.
