Läste en artikel med myter om matlagning där en punkt var "Pork Needs to Be Well Done". Jag ville givetvis ta reda på om detta var sant, så jag kom till Flashback och förväntade mig en jättelång tråd där detta diskuterades, men icke.
Man hör ofta att nötkött kan ätas "rare", "medium-rare" etc., och att detta är oacceptabelt när det gäller fläsk. Men hur ligger det till egentligen?

Citat:
Due to a fear of trichinosis (a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork), people have, for years, made sure that they don't eat pork unless it's been cooked to a well-done state. By the way, that fear was completely legit, because trichinosis is a worm that slithers menacingly around in an animal's (or some lucky human's) digestive system.
The thing is, that fear was legit many, many years ago. Today, due to modern pork processing standards, cases of trichinosis in the U.S. have been reduced to about 11 each year, and most of those cases weren't even from pork -- they were from the consumption of wild game. You could go to a restaurant and order pork chops medium rare and eat them and totally not die.
