I know most people love the red meats rare, to extremely rare ... not me. Don't know why I'm so put off. Maybe my memories of watching the slaughterings, guttings, and butcherings of farm and wild animals ... I still see chickens running with their heads off (by Mom) blood spuriting everywhere and they run and flap til they drop ... and pigs, still see my stepfather straddling the pigs, holding their necks up, stabbing/slicing them, and watching the hoselike flow of blodd (such FORCE!!!!!) gushing out while the pig slowly sunk to its knees and died. I was pre-school.

That didn't turn me off meat though ... but maybe RARE meat, yes
