    Those evil Europeans like quality. But not American, only real quality.

    American animal “farms” are a dirty and unhygienic mess, and the fact that people still eat their products in the US makes people elsewhere cringe in horror. I love to shock Americans with “Mettbrötchen”, a crispy roll with raw, minced pork meat. Perfectly safe to eat here. But people who are used to washed.eggs and chlorinated chicken recoil in horror to something like that.

      If someone asked me to describe the animals rolling in and meat out of Tönnies Factories I would use the same words to describe it.

      Our meat isn’t that much better (still better than in the US, but the prepackaged stuff in the supermarket is still low quality), no reason to be smug here and riding the high horse

      In the States, we’re told that raw pork puts you in danger of trichinosis. Does your methodology somehow eliminate that threat?

        Obviously. I remember butchering a pig at a farm, and before the meat could be processed any further, the vet checked it for a number of issues, among them trichiosis.
