Me and some girlfriends went for a meal last night and a couple of them had their steak rare and this got me thinking this morning what exactly is this love of rare (Undercooked) meat? Is it because the diner likes the taste of blood or is the the consistency too tough? Isn't undercooked meat dangerous as all germs and parasites are not killed and doesn't undercooked meat cause problems with our digestive systems as well?

tons of spuds-can i freeze 'em?

I'm a cheese lover and have often fantasized of going to the home of good cheese

I've eaten rare steak all my adult life and so have many of my friends. None of us, as far as I know, has contracted worms.

In any case you can get some powders from the vets to cure most parasitic worms. You just mix them into your steak tartare.
