Miksi ihmeessä naudanlihapihvit (esim hampurilaisissa) syödään puolikypsinä eikä kokonaan kypsinä?

Käytiin vaimon kanssa jossain hesan keskustan hienossa hampurilaispaikassa. (City-käytävä) Kolmenkymmenen euron hampurilainen oli raaka sisältä. Kysyttiin että miksi. Listassahan lukee että se on raaka, sanoi tarjoilija. Eipä lukenut. Hyi helvetin helvetti. Oli vielä jonkun julkkiskokin lanseeraama paikka.

I grew up eating beef cooked only well done. If it looked pink I wouldn’t touch it, and it all tasted just fine to me. My Dad hated serving me well done steaks and always said how much he hated ruining a good steak just so I would eat it. He ate everything rare or at most medium rare and couldn’t imagine what he had done wrong that caused me to eat only shoe leather. It wasn’t the flavor though, it was the texture. I had tried mediocre steak cooked medium rare and couldn’t stand the texture of the meat and the chewiness of the fat. I’ve noticed this in my own kids too - that the texture of foods is sometimes more important to them than the flavor.

After I grew up and left home, I continued to eat beef well done. I couldn't imagine eating a bloody steak and in fact, the thought of it was nauseating so I avoided it like the plague. Then, when I was 26 or so, I drove over to a small town in France to dine at a Michelin rated restaurant and ordered a filet mignon well done. The waiter asked if I was sure and I told him that yes, I only eat steaks well done. When he served it to me, it was barely warm so I sent it back to the kitchen with the request that it be cooked through. It came back with a slight crust on it, but when I cut into it, it was only slightly warmer and bloody. I again asked the waiter to send it back and have the chef finish cooking it. A minute or 2 later, the chef brought the filet to my table, leaned over and very quietly asked if I would prefer another entree, maybe chicken or pasta. I said no, I’m in the mood for a steak. He told me he hoped that I enjoy it but that he wasn’t going to cook it any more than he already had because “it’s cooked perfectly and if I cook it any more you won’t be able to chew it”. Embarrassed, I told him it was fine.

The chef went back to the kitchen and I figured that I would just suck it up and try to force this bloody lukewarm mass down my throat without getting sick when something amazing happened. It practically fell apart in my mouth and I tasted something I could never have imagined before - the most flavorful, tender, juicy meat I had ever had. I was flat out amazed. I savored every bite of that steak and I still remember is as the best steak I’ve ever eaten. I gave the waiter an embarrassingly high tip and asked him to thank the chef for insisting on not ruining my steak because it was the best I had ever eaten. As I was driving home I vowed to never eat a piece of well done meat ever again.

So the reason I, and possibly most adults, like beef cooked in the rare to medium range is that they’ve had a good piece of beef cooked well done and cooked rare to medium rare and there’s really no comparison between them for flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. However, because the texture of rare meat is so much different than meat cooked through, I think the main reason that adults don’t eat rare to medium rare beef is that either they tried it and don’t like the texture or like me, they remember that they didn’t like the texture when they were young so they avoid it as adults.

And gotta say, sorry I don't speak Finnish (I'm an exchange student from England) but I understood the question :D

Niin, vähän lipsahteli amerikanenglannin puolelle, mutta kerrankos sitä...vauvapalstalla... ;)

Jos näin on, niin milloin ajattelit opetella puhumaan suomea?

Niin siinä käy, kun maalaistollo käy "hienommassa" ravintolassa, eikä ymmärrä edes ruokalistaa.

Naudan kokolihapihvi on varmastikin parempi kun se ei ole läpikypsä. Sen sijaan en ymmärrä tätä uutta menoa, että hampurilaisten jauhelihapihvit jätetään "mediumeiksi". Onhan se pinkki jauhelihakin varmaan vähän "mehukkaampaa" kuin kunnolla paistettu, mutta eikö jauhelihan raa'aksi jättäminen ole terveysriski? Siellä kaikkien muiden täytteiden keskellä se lihan kypsyysaste ei tule edes niin vahvasti esille.

Jos näin on, niin milloin ajattelit opetella puhumaan suomea?

Kaikki ulkomaalaiset ovat uhreja. Suomalaisen pitää tuntea joka tilanteessa häpeää suomalaisuudestaan.

Suomalaisille on varattu orjan rooli, mikä oikein onkin.

Siis miten tästäkin ketjusta on poistettu ihan asiallisia vastauksia? Mitä helvettiä? =D
