    Hey, I like my beef so well done, it's stiff, brittle and crunchy.  There is no substitute!

    Sorry, did I say "beef"?  I meant to say "bacon".
    Oh Man, you are doing it so wrong, bacon is awesome limp and juicy. :grin:

    @Hub you can't really expect to make an inflammatory statement and not get teased, taunted, and abused. It's the same thing as the very people you're ranting about.

    The red liquid isn't blood either, it's myoglobin laden water. Blood is removed completely during slaughter. Besides, if blood were cooked, it would coagulate and turn black. This is evident from blood sausage, which is typically black.

    You can eat your meat however you want, but if you are going to disagree with the majority, you have to expect blowback.

    If I start a thread with "I hate bacon, it's terrible and ever person who likes it is an idiot", I'm probably gonna get flack about it.

    If you read the cooking instructions on the snake river farms website on how to cook their steaks, under well done it states "not recommended". You're in the minority friend, so you can't expect lot of support.

    Just the same, it's your cash so cook your meat however you like.

    If you aren't eating your bacon limp and juicy there is something wrong with you.

    Well, I'm sick and tired of that attitude.  Cook your bacon the way you want, but stop telling me how I should enjoy mine.  And that goes for you Gordon Ramsey.  I tuned you out the moment you called Girl Scout Cookies "dog biscuits".

    Get used to it! You're wrong!

    BTW, I enjoyed two very crispy strips of bacon this AM.  Bacon is soooo good, I eat it anyway I can get it.  When I'm lazy, I coil two strips up tight and microwave it for a minute, comes out steamy hot, limp & juicy.  In a frying pan, it just depends upon the mood I'm in.

    And as for Gordon Ramsey, he needs to learn how to cook low and slow.  All his shows have people bucking up against the clock, he needs to learn how to take all day to cook up a slab o' delicious.

     I've slowly won my wife over a little at a time. When we first got together she wouldn't eat the marinated flank steak from the Mexican market. The spices they use makes is red inside and out. You can't cook it out. You should start slow and work up to at least med. You'll probably like it alot better.I'm just saying because I don't want you to miss out. But if your truly happy now...keep doing it your way.

    They are overpriced dog biscuits being pushed by little girls that don't take no for an answer. I hate Girl Scouts and Their Cookies. Just like you dislike blood in your meat I dislike these nasty things they claim to be cookies. Call it an ex Boy Scout that still harbors ill feelings for having to sell popcorn!

    Girl scout cookies do suck. Let's be honest. Even the s'mores and the lemon ones, or the mint. 

    But we still buy a sh!tload, because hey. It's the scouts.

    FWIW I do like my beef rare to med rare. My wife prefers hers well, well done. As much as I'd like to convert her like a butch lesbo I don't try because she loves her steak the way she likes it. PS... Girl Scout Cookies Still Suck! :tongue:

    @Darby_Crenshaw Couldn't agree with you more. I Thermapen hers just to make sure it's at that level. Some battles are best left in the battlefield my friend.

    @Darby_Crenshaw you're supposed to wait until he's almost done.  I pulled something similar with my brother & SIL concerning fried rabbit I told her was chicken.  My brother knew because he's eaten rabbit before, but my SIL was clueless.  When the meal was about done, I let the rabbit out of the bag in a classy way.  She has gotten over it, but it has taken years.

    Hopefully if they criticized, they at least posted a pic of the steak they grilled, and not a steakhouse chain.  A lot of Monday mornin' armchair quarterbackin' goin' on around  here.

    lwrehm green peppers taste like ass 

    I like green peppers and ass.
    Since they both taste the same, do they really compliment each other?

    Damn.  You think green peppers and ass taste the same?!
    What kind of rub are you putting on your ass?

     Only if you are prepping your peppers after the meal..

    But how many of your steaks have you let over cook or get cold while cooking hers?
    No, I'm not bitter.
