"Organic" Burgers

[RGPargy]

Hiya

Just working late tonight and had an organic cheeseburger delivered, but it's completely pink (luckily i only took a very small bite).

Am i right in thinking that you shouldn't eat pink burgers?? I think i am right and phoned up the delivery company to complain. When i said that it was pink all the way through the bloke said "so you didn't want it rare then?". I quickly told him that you shouldn't eat pink burgers and that he had to make sure my replacement was properly cooked as i was pg.

Silly burk!!!

yes, not like a steak is it? the fools

I think there is more of a risk with pork & chicken that has not been cooked well, and is left pink, than with beef...

did they know you are pregnant> did they ask how you wanted it cooked?

[RGPargy]

They didn't know i was pg til i told them and certainly never asked how i wanted it cooked when i ordered it!

it's not like the place is a backstreet kebab house either. It's a fookin' expensive delivery place that alot of businesses use (ours included) so they really should know better.

tut tut!

[lulumama]

erm
if they didnlt know you were pregnant, then it is not their fault

a good steak mince burger does not have to be incinerated

[Whooosh]

Rare beef is not a problem...bit over siensitive if due to pg ,not personal taste...

[RGPargy]

No i realise that lulumama but even if i wasn't pg, i wouldn't eat a burger that was pink!

[lulumama]

they're not psychic though !





i would have had it !

[RGPargy]

But i thought you could get food poisoning from undercooked burgers???

[RGPargy]

Perhaps i am just being too picky then lol. Oh well, there's another (well cooked) one on its way now!

I hope you enjoyed your recooked burger, I've eaten rare meat all through my pregnancy and have come to no harm at all, baby's well too, I'm such a carnivore overcooked beef would be too much to bear!!

[PregnantGrrrl]

good quality burgers are usually cooked as steak would be- but they are meant to ask how you want it. i can't bear pink meat anyway- blurgh!

[RGPargy]

Well the second one turned up and it was only cooked all the way through for HALF of the burger so i ended up chucking the rest away.

I dont mind a steak that's slightly pink, but burgers?? No way!!!
