it actually came out okay?

i made like. every burger related mistake

and it came out well done

but it was still juicy and tasted good so

Hey, a win's a win.

if i do it again i might go really crazy and do caramelized onions

...aren't burgers meant to be well done anyway?

which i have also never done

well i know lamb burgers are meant to always be at least medium well or well done

but like

well it also depends on personal taste

but with a beef burger i think the ideal is meant to be rare or medium rare

if it's ground meat you're better off cooking it to the right temp

like if you go to a restaurant and you get a fancy burger you're gonna want it like medium rare i think

i say, having not had beef in like twenty years

idk i know when i get bison burgers at restaurants i ask for medium rare cause that's how i like 'em

restaurants and at home can be different cases. depends how much you trust the restaurant to grind their meat in sanitary conditions.

but yeah actually like. killing the bacteria is the most important thing

yeah, that

at least i've never had a bad experience at a restaurant

and i've had uh....bison, elk, ostrich, and lamb burgers

yeah I think it's been a while since there've been any big ground meat incidents but it's definitely a different thing from like, a rare steak

that makes sense

also man, I want to try ostrich some day. birds are delicious.

bison... burger... I want it

ostrich tastes NOTHING like other poultry

I had ostrich once when I was a wee bab but it was horrible because my dad cooked it to a sad soulless husk

i'ts been a long time but i remember it having a distinct flavor and texture. it's not stringy or dry like chicken or turkey

also i know lamb is one you want to eat cooked all the way through, never pink

I've heard it described as a cross between beef and duck, which intrigues me

also also, i didn't know rare burgers were so dangerous until now, i kept seeing people order rare burgers at restaurants and figured it was fine

it makes sense that it's different from steaks

man.....i wonder if you could make a bison steak.......

i guess i'm glad my bison burger came out well done then

i do wish i'd put the cheese on sooner, it didn't melt enough
