      You can buy something like that in Japan. So some people in the world do this regularly. But the chickens they use for it are raised in a clean environment, so they unlikely have salmonella.

          Many people around the world eat sushi, and if you’re already okay with the texture of sushi, the texture of raw chicken might not scare you off.

          Of course there are mixed opinions about sushi, too.

                I’ve tried plenty of types of sushi and sashimi. If I’d ever gotten one that tasted like raw chicken I would have spit it out and demanded my money back lol

    That ain’t medium rare.

    That being said, if you raise your own chickens, you could cook medium rare. I’ve had chicken that was done to medium and medium rare, and it isn’t as weird as you’d think.

    That being said, it isn’t my preferred thing, and my chickens are pets lol.

          Why not? What’s different about chicken meat compared to, say, beef or lamb, which most people like to cook so it remains at least a little bit pink (i.e. raw inside).

              I probably phrased this poorly or something, but I am curious. Even though we have fire, people still eat steak tartare. Loads of animals eat raw birds without suffering any negative effects. How come people are so against eating raw birds (when raised in a way that makes salmonella very unlikely)?

              People eat raw flour and eggs all the time and those also have a good chance of giving you salmonella. Hell touching a turtle can give you salmonella but people still touch turtles.

                It’s not really that common to eat steak tartare is it? Bit of a niche thing, I certainly wouldn’t prepare it myself at home.

                Saying “other animals do X so we should be fine doing X” is a daft argument, they have different biochemistry and they don’t kill stuff and leave it in the fridge for a couple of weeks before eating it.

                I don’t know if you’ve ever had bad food poisoning before, but let me tell you it is 100% not worth it.

                  I don’t think comparing humans to other animals is that daft, otherwise animal testing wouldn’t be as common as it is. And I don’t think most people leave steak tartare or ceviche or sashimi or carpaccio etc. in their fridge for weeks before eating it.

                  And I was originally asking why someone would be against raw chicken that had been raised in a way that prevented salmonella being likely at all.

                  I really just don’t understand the innate opposition? Humans and other animals eat fresh raw meat all the time, why not birds?

                Eating wild meat is a gamble. Pretty sure that’s why we mostly stick to eating herbivores. That’s also why wild caught fish must be frozen, to kill any parasites they may have.

                Things get cooked for a variety of reasons. Avoiding sickness is one, but I think most of us agree that cooked food tastes better. Even if I wouldn’t get sick from eating raw food is still cook it.

                  I mean, I love a good medium rare steak, but if I caught something in the wild, that bitch is getting near burned…

                  It’s mostly about sanitation. Animals aren’t magically fine when they eat other animals. No one notices when a bear dies of a parasite unless it’s someone’s pet.

                  Cooked food is also easier to digest and get energy out of.

                Because raw birds also have those diseases? What the fuck kind of question is that? Do you think birds are magically special and different? Salmonella is not a fun bacteria to wrestle. No one wants to risk at best a highly upset stomach or worst shitting your brains out until you need IVF or die.

                The risk is high and the reward is you get to eat nasty raw chicken. That’s not a risk assessment many smart people take chicken up on.

                  I don’t think birds are magically different, it’s everyone else who seems to. My question has consistently been why people (in general) are ok with eating some types of meat raw, but not birds.

                  Specifically I was asking one person who said that even if the chicken was raised and prepared in a hygienic manner that they wouldn’t.

                  What the hell.

                That’s the thing though, even if it’s supposedly fine, it’s still way more risky than other types of meat and Salmonella is no joke, my girlfriend’s ex nearly died of it.

                  Salmonella (from raw chicken or somewhere else) accounts for way less deaths per year than red meat (cooked or otherwise) I think this is just one of those things people ‘feel’ weird about rather than have any rational explanation for.

            Well, mainly carnivorous animals tend to eat raw meat.

            Humans evolved from herbivores and our intestinal tract is still not suited for killing parasites and harmful bacteria present in animal bodies, which is why we delegated part of our digestion to process organic material outside of the body (cooking). Whereas carnivores have high saliva and stomach acidity to digest raw meat, on top of a short and smooth intestine tract for a quick pass through so there’s less chance of parasites staying around.

            We have none of those carnivorous features, and therefore eating any raw meat is a substantial risk, especially animal bodies with a high likelihood of salmonella contamination. Even when meat is cooked it seems to have negative effects on our long term health, such as increased chance of cardiovascular disease and digestion related cancers.

              I’m vegan btw so I’m right there with you. I’m just curious about why people seem to like some raw meat but not others, even if there was little chance of salmonella. Everyone just kept telling me that you’d get salmonella for some reason.
