The Last Alaskans

haha yeah Steve is awesome but he also gave himself and his crew trichinosis soooo he's not perfect. i'm still going to crush sushi and rare red meat, those are risks i'm willing to take.

Ya I know, I always cook my meat, I will not eat raw beef either but the majority of the parasites do not need a 180 internal temp as they claim. Beef can get worms too, and lambs for sure, but yet they are always eaten medium rare or worse. You look at domestic duck, that stuff is almost always mid-rare, nothing unsafe there. How the domestic duck is better than a wild duck is unknown to me, it is not like they take samples of every animal slaughtered, they only test things that look sick or have weird looking organs, you should always be cautious of this when hunting too.

Years ago I hunted with an Italian guy who would thinly slice a fresh killed goose breast and eat it raw. I remember saying to him “ are you nuts” he would say to me it was common in his culture and tasted great as he slurped it down. Gross.

Well don't know what part of Italy he was from, maybe a regional thing, but definitely not a common cultural practice.

my deer meat is cool blue when it comes off the grill..

meat is ruined if it is anything more well done than rare...

Roulette for sure. I took several pathology courses so I make damn sure I cook what I'm eating. I always tell my buddies who eat sushi to google anisakis before they dine again. Over 4000 cases per year in Japan alone and that's just the diagnosed portion of the population. Careful prep of the sushi meat does not protect you. Salt and pickling does nothing. Swedes Spaniards, and Dutch are crawling in nematodes from eating raw and fermented herring and anchovies. Permanent damage to the mucosal lining of your intestine with life long complications that mimic Chronn's and ulcerative bowel disease. No thanks!. Look at all the crippled Greenlanders and Alaskans who are screwed for life from eating undercooked or raw walrus meat. Trichinella larval cysts embedded in all their skeletal muscles for life. You get the option of going on high dose prednisone (slowly eats your skeleton away) and other roids for the rest of your life, just to be able to function and tolerate the pain. Cook it if you're eating at my house!!

Do I have to bring my tinfoil hat to dinner as well?

Just had sushi tonight this post made me crave it....going to make some Lox in the morning as well mmm mmmm.

Steaks are blue rare especially venison

I cant imagine being so paranoid about eating...you can watch all thw TV shows you want disorder this monster that parasite blah blah blah all your seeing is extreme cases mixed with drama and even less scientific credibility...our economy is based on fear...but it doesnt have to be!

Best sashimi I had was fresh caught on a boat in Korea they filleted it and we ate it less then a minute after it was caught....now damn me to hell for being so irresponsible lol....

Scariest thing I ever saw someone eat was very well cooked pork in Haiti, cooked for 3 days, it was well done and had a hint of fly, we ate the fried plantains, I still hate plantains.

I'm with you there. People are so friggen paranoid around here. The way I see it, the more "stuff" you introduce to your body, the better immune you will be to other things. You think the pioneers back in the days had thermometers and all this other stuff to make sure their meat was cooked to perfection every time? Heck no.....If my meat isn't red in the middle, i really don't want it.

Here is another case of what parasites can do - https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-...tnam-vets.html - sure people years ago ate things that may not have been cooked enough but that doesn't say that they were not filled with parasites - remember a lot of them died at an early age - the series that is on TV explains what the particular parasite being discussed does to people and how it can be picked up - I guess if you want to take the chance and eat under cooked meat and fish it is your call - personally I cook everything enough - why take the chance if you don't have to - my one daughter is a nurse and has told me of several cases she is familiar with where people got very sick from eating under cooked meat - some guy had parasites in his brain and he died - a lot of people in northern Europe have parasites from eating pickled herring and other fish - pickling fish doesn't kill the parasites -" Joe how do you want your burger done" - "well done thank you"

The average mortality generations ago was not mainly due to illness of people in their prime, the numbers are skewed quite significantly due to infant mortality and mothers who died during child birth. One ancestor of mine who came from the old world died at the age of 94, another was murdered outside a bar in his 20s, outside of the 1918 influenza there are no illnesses in the prime of life since we came here in the 1850s.
