Don't be like that guy. Wrap your mat in cling film first. The sushi mat in that video is pretty much ruined for making sushi.

That's a common misconception. In fact, Marmite should be chucked out of the nearest window with as much force as one can muster.

Marmite is just semi-solid soy sauce in flavour. Your son is a true Kiwi and will be welcomed here with open arms any time.

Exactly. My kid loves Vegemite-and-cheese sandwiches. I don't loathe the assorted -Mites, but it's not my favourite thing in the world.

After the Christchurch earthquake knocked the local marmite factory out of commision, Kiwis started HOARDING that stuff. And auctioning jars off online.

It's called that because it was started by Edward Halsey, a baker who had (before moving to Australia) worked at John Kellogg's Battle Creek Sanitarium, the same Kellogg who invented corn flakes. :eng101:

That would be UK Marmite though, which is actually a different product to Aus/NZ Marmite. They're relatively similar - in the same way that Vegemite is also relatively similar, meaning that to someone who likes either one they're totally different and that other one is garbage.

It's a liability issue in a lot of chain restaurants. They may have a disclaimer in the menu saying that anything cooked to order has the potential to harbor foodborne bacteria, but when it comes down to it they won't cook it rare. I've asked for rare and they do look at me like I'm high and just say "pink or not pink?"

So essentially they don't know what rare means if they do that. I just ask for as rare as possible. Usually they will cook it medium and won't question me about it. The only time I got a steak that was truly rare was from Anthony Bourdain's restaurant in Washington DC.

Same goes with burgers and apparently a restaurant that's willing to cook a burger rare actually grinds their beef in-house. Bobby's Burger Palace warns people that when you ask for rare, the burger is really really rare because I guess people who ask for rare burgers are used to restaurants cooking them medium. That rare burger was awesome, by the way.

NZ marmite is less salty, more soy-saucy tasting. Goes extremely well with honey on toast.

Burgers I can understand, because they're basically all surface area, but what's the problem with rare steak? The outside is definitely cooked, and that's the bit you've got to worry about.

The problem is paranoia about bacteria that is strongly embedded in the culture. See chickens dunked in chlorine and banned raw milk cheeses.

Also this bacteria paranoia is even harmful for people because we need a rich gut microbiota in order to be healthy.

It's really hard to get a really rare steak from a restaurant. The problem isn't paranoia from the cook staff. The issue is that customers prefer their food more cooked than they think. People think it's cool to order rare and then they return it for being under-cooked. Just like people return well steaks for being over-cooked. They don't know what they want.

You have to take the time to do your own cooking so that you can try all the variations of internal temp, crust, color, flavor, etc. until you can really decide what you like. I used to like straight medium, but I discovered that I actually like medium-rare.

When I cook a steak medium-rare at home, there's still red in the center, but it's hot. At a restaurant, medium-rare is more like medium which is pink in the center.

There's a chain of restaurants called Pittsburgh Blue in my area. I've always wanted to see if they'd make me a "Pittsburgh Blue" steak, but I'm betting they won't. I tried making my own at home but I can't get a hot enough surface. I tried MAPP gas but it still wasn't enough heat. Next time I'm around an Oxy-Acetylene torch, I'll try again on a piece of steel.

I don't prefer blue or super rare steaks, but I don't begrudge people for liking meat to their preference; I just get weirded out when people buy relatively expensive cuts and blast them to hell.

You should try some sous vide steaks if you want easy mode steak doneness. Hot water at temp, glowing hot pan, and a cheap propane torch form the hardware store, and you can get some really superbly finished meats, including medium-rare pork chops and chicken breast you can cut with the side of a fork, with minimal meat myth bullshittery.

'Medium rare' isn't really a thing in pork, there is a minimum internal temperature you need to cook pork to. If comparing, it's much closer to medium to medium-well in color, with just the slightest pink tinge still inside. I feel really sorry for all you weirdos who need a machine and water to cook your food for you.

Trichinosis isn't really a thing much anymore so you can totally do medium rare pork with most cuts if that's your pref.

I had a softball-sized steak cooked Chicago blue one time and it was life-affirming. It was like a deep purple inside. So good.
