If they won´t cook it how the customer likes it the restaurant will loose the customer, that simple

Next they will come ro your house and make sure you don´t undercook your hamburgers...

So when I go to the butcher shop can I still buy uncooked meat?

OP, and topped with bacon.

And Carpaccio will be a thing of the past too.

This is the UK. The Westminster city council.

We are still able to buy medium rare burgers at restaurants we trust. And the best are cooked perfectly here at home. Tonight, for example.

We just won´t eat out as the burger rare is one of the few things affordable on a restaurant menu these days. We will make our burgers at home like we do the rest of our diet. Alas! Another menu item will bite the dust.

This is the UK here heaven knows what they are offering in their burgers.

I remember regularly orderin Steak Tartare at Scandia in Beverly Hills and watching the captain prepare it tableside. The last time he even shaped it in a heart.

And then there were Ramos fizzes with unpasteurized egg whites.

And the carpaccio mentioned above. In Los Angeles the best was at Harry´s Bar in Century City.

Wouldn´t have missed it for the world - and suffered no ill effects.

Just tell the cow there´s an oven in the kitchen and I´m good. I have no anemia and so far, no E-coli but then, I lived a pretty dangerous childhood: ate from street vendors in Korea, licked the cake beaters, and regularly stepped on a crack (but I didn´t break my mother´s back.)

We rode in cars with no seat belts, roller skated on sidewalks and rode bikes with no helmets, once stuck a fork into a light socket and I´m still kicking. (I even once made a face and it didn´t stay that way!)

Government. Sheesh!

They allow citizens to order 20 Oz. soft drinks, and they´re worried about how burgers are cooked?

Help yourself to a nice plate of blood sausage or a steaming pile of haggis there, mate.

Does anyone remember when NJ banned runny egg yolks because of the risk of salmonella?

Perhaps the Westminster city council should quit sticking their noses where they don´t belong and just bugger off...

If people are so worried about it and if they want a rare restaurant burger, then why don´t they just make sure the meat is ground on the premises, right before it is cooked and be done with it?

Quite frankly, I would trust ground beef from my own grocer or my own small meat packer (my folks raise cattle and on occasion, we get burger from a small, local processor from one of their critters) than I would a large supermarket chain.

Quit trusting large slaughterhouses and processors so much and go more localized.

I guess the Brits got the idea from us, this silly law has been on the books here in NC for years. I´m sure some Chapel Hill grad cooked it up.

I have a friend that use to eat raw hamburger sandwiches. We use to raise our own beef, but we always warmed it up before eating.

England: The country that arrests people who make a "racist gesture" at a soccer match in a stadium.

I have been reading a lot of articles lately about people getting sick from eating rare hamburgers.

Grind your own ...you´ll be fine...

Their frickin´ country is being over run by psychotic muslims and their worried about someone´s hamburger?

Other than fish and chips and warm beer, most British food is revolting

As prior posters mentioned, if the restaurant does not serve what the customer wants and likes they will go else where.

As a kid I loved Steak Tartare and it was made with raw meat and raw eggs. Never got sick. My parents that I was strange.

All the meat in the markets around here come pre packaged. When you don´t know how clean the places are that process the meat, I would not eat a rare hamburg even at home. Have you ever had salmonella poisoning? I know a woman who nearly died from it and was left handicapped. Can´t even walk and has to live in a wheelchair. Not worth it.
