vinnyt77 Smash burgers aren’t a new thing.
I said “the fad of smashburgers” not smashburgers.
Diners in the US might lean to them because they’re serving shite.
vinnyt77 The risk with mince is only if it’s not cooked through. Served rare / medium etc etc, there’s a risk (not a guarantee) of illness.
I don’t recall many places that used to serve burgers “rare”… Medium, maybe very occasionally leaning medium-rare, was the standard in good burger restaurants.
And again, your statement here did not address my point - which is that despite your claim as to risk I’ve never been ill from eating a medium, thick burger from a decent burger restaurant. Nor do I know anyone who has. Nor have I ever read any news stories in the UK of illness outbreaks.
Have you ever been ill from eating a good quality medium burger?!…
Also, on the subject of “risk”, the more blackened meat is, the more carcinogenic it gets.
