![[CW: Meat] The best part of making lamb stew is when I put it in the Crockpot and sit on my ass and do nothing for 8 hours](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/ed982071-802a-4e5e-ae65-14e8c8f4d7d2.png){kind=link}
trimmed and chopped up some boneless lamb leg a few days back, marinated it in a bunch of spices and herbs and olive oil and worcestershire sauce. Chopped up some bacon this morning and half-cooked it to get some lard out and used that to sweat the onions and garlic and sear the lamb. Added some potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, tomato paste, beef broth, more spices and bay leaf.
It feels good to cook again.
Of course it’ll start with people working with the animals, I agree. It already has.
We just still don’t know how this might mutate, for example, if it transfers to pigs and back. But, look, I’m not a biologist and I’m not going to pretend to be one. I’m not sure if you’re a biologist. My girlfriend is a biologist, she just goes to a different school so she isn’t on Hexbear, and we just want to be careful as this thing progresses. We are already going through one pandemic that the world totally mishandled so it doesn’t hurt to be cautious.
you’re misunderstanding the cooking process. it literally kills bacteria and virii; that’s kinda the point of cooking food.
Can you imagine how insane the gut bacteria our hominid ancestors used to have back before we discovered fire could cook meat? I think about that whenever I am cooking something that requires a thermometer
We probably had like miniature full blown wars between our bacteria and whatever was on our food. Like some sci fi alien invasion of a million enemies and our little gut buddies put on their helmets and go “let’s get 'em boys!” And then millions die on both sides.
Diarrhea. Diarrhea all the time.
