I would not likely eat it raw, but I'm certainly not cooking it to death as is the practice of my former mother out-law... Poultry is altogether another matter.

If beef or pork production allowed that percentage of contamination they would be shut down. =Mark "Runs With Scissors" Stevens @ http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens @ @ ICQ# 2059548 @ Where ya' from?
