Once again, the frantic search for “likes” on social media has led another influencer to commit another absurdity in order to receive the applause (or at least some) of his followers.
This time the trick of the week was to eat nothing but raw chickena very dangerous kind of meat if it doesn't come cooked properly. Unfortunately very followed Food blogger He went to a restaurant in South Korea, in the city of Haenam, where the so-called “Sashimi“Chicken meat, rather prosaic thin slices of freshly slaughtered poultry, served with sesame, spices and various soy and wasabi-based sauces. If you want, you can cook the meat in small cauldrons filled with boiling water or broth, called “Yubiki“or roast it with a gas burner (Aburi), but there are many who prefer to consume it that way, of course, without any cooking.
Like our influencer on duty, who wasn't particularly thrilled with the experience, however, describing the uncooked chicken nuggets as decidedly not very tasty, similar in consistency to raw fish but not slimy, with such a weak flavor that they definitely needed seasoning .
A different opinion is held by another food blogger who, last summer, during a video for the Tik Tok and Instagram public, devoured a raw chicken breast that she said was very good, very soft and a real treat and advised everyone to try it .
Not only. He also added that people should not be influenced by “rumors” that raw chicken is dangerous because that would all be nonsense. Disturbing words that push viewers to engage in extremely risky behaviors that can have very serious, even fatal, consequences.
Raw poultry meat is a real breeding ground for bacteria such as: salmonellosisofEscherichia coli and many others. Microorganisms that are extremely harmful to human health and in some cases can even lead to death.
Only through adequate cooking can they be completely eradicated, making chickens and other birds completely harmless and edible.
Things are well known, but every now and then, in order to gain social popularity, someone commits senseless and dangerous acts like those described above. Keep in mind that washing raw chicken in the kitchen sink is risky as the bacteria could spread and contaminate the entire environment. So remember the dangers you face by eating chicken pieces.
Similar speech applies to pork meat which must always be well cooked or treated appropriately, as with sausage products. I would therefore like to advise you to be extremely careful, even if you want to treat yourself to a beef or horse tartare. It is important to pay attention to freshness and safe origin. It's not worth feeling guilty about imitating the stupid things someone does on social media.
