unfortunately it is common in slaughterhouses that cater to companies that tend to sell bulk and therefore slipshod goods. by doing this the target audience of people who eat a lot of fastfood, buy the cheap bulk 5 and 10 pound burger rolls (chubs), tend to get it (ecoli). and because of all of that it spreads like wildfire

last I heard and this is from reputable sources which I could probably google if I wanted to...
ecoli does not exist interior to meat. ie; the inside parts of roast and steak and so on do not carry it. it rides on the surface of meat and is triggered by airborne contact. the ecoli gets on the equipment which is then not cleaned correctly and then you have an outbreak.
there are MANY micro critters in all of the food. ask your prof how he feels about the excretions left over from a passionate night of lovemaking. you'd probably never have sex again

I'm with you on the steak, too, KK - I want it to be just past "moo".

that's essentially the tartare recipe!

pretty close, but I would NEVER put ketchup in it!!! and there is almost no way to chop it fine enough, it needs to go through the fine grinder to have the right texture
