If you've made it this far without getting e. coli from veggies (aka the most common source of food poisoning), don't worry about salmonella. Also, try something like a burger or lemon chicken that has plenty of plants in it to ease yourself into the flavor. Cajun dishes are also an EXCELLENT transition into shellfish

Bivalves don't really have any kind of nervous system, so eating those is "cruelty free" if that's something you still care about, but aren't really representative of meat as a whole, but I second what >>15759805 said. Good crab/shellfish actually tastes sweet, and as long as it's fresh(ly frozen) I can't imagine anybody not liking it.

If you've never eaten meat before in your life, be careful that your body is properly equipped to consume it. Your body might find it difficult to process, and you may want to start small. Not necessarily guaranteed to happen, but keep it in the back of your mind at least.

As a fellow lifelong vegbro who started eating meat in his 20s, I would recommend starting light. Chicken breast, light fish, pork tenderloin, etc.

Yes. And if you take your chicken out of the oven at 145 you'll be fine every time. Just make sure to let it rest for ~10 minutes before cutting/serving.
>>15759879
>how come you can eat certain meat rare but not others? why not rare chicken? what about ground meat?
Last time I touched on this topic it became a wall of text, so I'll tl;dr it here (assuming you live in the US): heavily ingrained taboos that drive hygiene standards dictated by demands. You can get chicken sashimi in Japan, but only because there's no taboo against it which creates enough of a demand to justify the extra expenses of keeping your poultry clean enough to consume raw safely.
Ground meat has its uses.

If you're not a poorfag and want the best of the best, get d'artagnan meats. Their chicken breasts have more flavor than most brands' chicken thighs, with a tenderness you can cut with a fork.

While I think you are a giant faggot I have to agree the meat abstinence hierarchy never made any fucking sense to me.

Like why the fuck start with abstaining from red meat like beef.
I have 1/4 cow. one fucking quarter of a dead animal I have been eating since august. But no, you'd rather kill 100+ chickens, that generally live far worse and significantly shorter lives, than not even an entire cow. Not even half a cow. If I ate one cow I could easily avoid eating 600 chickens. Get a grass finished pasture raised cow from someone I know and I can avoid the factory farmed shit all together. Even conventionally raised beef gets sun and grass. Most beef cows also get to start their lives with their mothers (bottle raising makes smaller animals)

but for some reason beef is the root of all evil. Fuck off.

Don't listen to the tards telling you to go balls deep and start cooking your own meat. Go to mcdonalds and get a big mac to start. Try out different restaurants that serve different kinds of meat and get a base line. It's really easy to make meat taste bad/mediocre when you first start out, so you might prematurely decide you don't like it.
But anyways, just start with a light burger like a big mac so you're not overwhelmed by meat.

the more relatably similar to us, the more we care. cows are mammals, and they're playful and socially relatable in a similar way to dogs, so they get 2nd place below horses on the livestock hierarchy, as well as being below the house niggers known as cats and dogs. next comes pigs, then chickens, then the water food.

The objective fact is that dogs have been primarily companions throughout human history. Why do you think we started raising pigs and cattle for food and not just stick with the dogs we already domesticated? The only reason dog is ever consumed is if there is a complete and total lack of other available sources of protein, or you're Chinese. If you can't experience, or even understand they joy of animal affection then that's on you and your psycho brain.

you only think that because modern food production has detached you from food. cows were rarely eaten in the past and were mostly used for milk, so people would have spent a lot of time around them and enjoyed their company. most meat historically came from pigs and chickens.

I estimate a 92% probabiltity that this is bait. Nontheless this is my suggestion. Buy the following:
1 rib eye steak
1 pound of ground beef
1 porkchop
1/2 pound of bacon
1 chicken thigh

Give them some basic seasoning (apart from the bacon). Salt and pepper for the beef, maybe salt and some herb, say rosemary, for the porkchop. Maybe some garlic powder for the chicken. Cook them all for the recommended internal temperature. Shoot for medium on the steak, otherwise you'll know it's done by the coloration. This will give you a basic feel for the different types of meat, the tastes and the textures.

165 is the instantaneous complete kill of bacteria.
its from the FDA and its a trade off to keep people from getting sick. if its 165, you can pull it instantly and everything it is dead.
however, you really don't want to cook chicken above 160F because the texture suffers.
155F for 45 seconds.

>How do I start eating meat?

Go to the deli and buy some cold-cuts. Make a sandwich using those, and your preferred vegetables and spread. I would suggest some corned beef because it's delicious. In terms of cooked meat?

Gravy beef, chop it up into inch thick chunks, and pan-fry it till every side is brown. Then add two cups of beef stock, whatever spices would go well with a dish of your choosing, such as spices suited to a curry, or those for a casserole of your choosing, and let it simmer for two hours, with onions, carrots, potato, whatever veggies you'd like.

Gravy beef is a cheap cut of meat that needs to be cooked low and slow to keep it from being tough as shit, so this way you can use a cheaper cut of meat without fear of fucking it up, because letting it simmer in spices for a couple of hours will mean it will be soft, tender, and most importantly for you, definitely cooked. And since slow cooking like this is a versatile method of cooking you can make whatever you'd like. Stews, soups, and as I said curry.

For a nice curry use some cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, tumeric, paprika, and as much white pepper and cayenne as you need to get it as spicy as you would like. Add your veggies and add some chickpeas, and let it cook. Near the end throw in some cashews as well, can't go wrong.

Or you can always just brown some mince and make lotsa spaghetti.

[Anonymous No.15769611]

mushrooms are not vegetables, and contain chitin a protein found only in animals and fungi. the best meat is fish fillets. fresh catfish, trout, salmon, flounder, butterfish, snapper. just cook simply in oil or butter, add salt. come on, fishies just beg to be eaten. and its brain food. shrimp and lobster are more status foods, they are boring in flavor and texture. but this is imo.
