        Hamburger just LOOKS gross unless it's a little burnt.  I tried
to make a pink-in-the-middle burger, but the texture was so visually
unappealing.  Not that I'm anti-muscle.  I got hungry, real hungry, at
the sight of blood when I was shopping for a beef roast yesterday.  That
was the FIRST time that ever happened to me in my life.  Maybe the
visual thing is that it looks chewed.  I think I'll stick to whole meats
unless I'm making a ground-beef salad.
