Regular beef mince in Melbourne/Aus full of blood

[Ervin P]

I posted this somewhere else Recently, I think this is important.

I have bought some mince meat(beef) from one of the supermarkets over here in Melbourne Australia and before I was going to cook it I realised it had a fair bit of blood in it. So I washed it out with water, but I still think it had blood in it, even after the washing.

you can get halal meat which doesn’t have blood for instance, but obviously as a Christian it’s not the right meat. I suppose you can get in some areas of Melbourne kosher, which is not supposed to have blood, but again, it’s Jewish.

I think for now, I am just going to stick to cleaned fish, eggs, etc, in order to avoid blood.

If you think it's important to avoid eating blood, then you have to eat Jewish kosher meat. No alternative. 

Most Christians will happily eat meat with blood in (Mark 7:18,19). Why do you find this a problem?

And what do you think is wrong with eating Jewish kosher meat?

Thanks Deborah for your response. I suppose I am going to have to have kosher. The only thing is that while these corona restrictions are on I might have to wait till the restrictions ease up since I would have to travel a bit to get it. But there’s plenty of other food I suppose.

 Following is one of the verses that explains it:( I am sure you know, but anyway):

Leviticus 17:14 ESV / 155 helpful votes

For the life of every creature is its blood: its blood is its life. Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.
 

And in the acts:

 

Acts 15:29 ESV / 70 helpful votes

That you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”

So both the New Testament and the Hebrew Bible say so.

Thanks

What your seeing is not blood, it is a combination of water and meat proteins that drain from meat. One of those proteins, water-soluble myoglobin, is the key reason for the meat’s red color, which is why the water is also red or dark pink. In science class, we all learned that our bodies are largely made up of water. The same is true for animals, and a high percentage of that water is held in the muscles and stays in the muscle when it’s converted to meat. Meat is typically 75 percent water, which contributes to the juiciness of cooked meats. The proteins in a steak are like a sponge that holds the water. As meat ages and is handled or cut, proteins lose their ability to hold onto water. Over time, some water is released and myoglobin flows out with it, giving the liquid a red or pink color. When the water seeps out, the protein that gives meat its color (myoglobin) flows out with the water. That protein gives the purge its color. Although it’s similar to the protein that gives blood its color (hemoglobin), it is not blood.

Like appy said, ...it's not blood, remember when you have cut or injured yourself, ...blood is much more thicker than the liquid we find in the cyrovac bags meat is packaged in.

I'm no expert in the matter but; I've been told butchers add preservatives and red coloring dye when the meat starts to turn brown so it looks fresh and sells? 

At any rate, I think the idea is not to drink blood as food or foods maybe like 'blood sausage. Most the residual blood is removed by washing and cooking. I maybe off but that's my thoughts.

if it aint bleedin, that there steak is overcooked.

Thanks everyone.

i am not expert when it comes to either butchering or kosher certification, but it seems to me that what I am talking about is certainly blood, and a lots of it.

 Thanks

So follow Paul's Example and never eat meat again.

1Co_8:13  Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

 

Not talking about properly slaughtered meat( I am believing that there is a proper way to slaughter), but about blood. And I am not offended for anyone eating anything.

 Thanks
