I had a queston regarding eating meat raw....  when I was in high school 20+
years ago, I worked at a Skippers restaurant.  Prior to cooking the chicken
or seafood, we soaked it for 20 minutes in a mixture of baking soda and
water.  Was suppose to kill any bacteria.   Would this work for eating eatin
raw meats bought from the grocer?  I tasted raw ground meat today and fell
in love............. cant wait to try other raw delights.  But I too worry
from bacteria and other yucky things.

Thanks
Trish
