Smoking Fanatic
Chef Jimmy - I was going on the idea that mass produced ground beef can have parts from MANY animals, thereby higher chance of introducing the spilled poop, etc.
A local batch, will be like a few cows, so in my way of thinking, less chance of at least contamination by THEIR meat.
Similarly, I used to but frozen patties through my life for quick out of freezer anyday burger convenience, now we get the store stuff and freeze as rough large patties.
So, I'm reading and re reading your stuff.
I will do more study at "Food safety" sub forum as well.
I still do find some local stuff more appetizing, it's got that grinder strings of worms look, rather than homogenous mass.
And, as I said, I make my burgers RARE, still pasty Tartare in the very center.
Obviously, I know it's highly discouraged, But when I compare a few people that died from Jack in the Box in ?Seattle? years ago, I'ts still ALOT safer than driving my car.
I dunno. Marc
