I'm on holiday in France and I ordered a steak hauch burger. It came with lots of ketchup on. When I started to eat it, I thought the pink I could see was from the ketchup. Then about half way through, I realised that it was actually the meat that was pink - some of it looked raw!
I'm really scared. I know that rare steak is ok as the bacteria is on the outside of the meat, so as long as the outsides are seared, it's fine. But in a burger, it's all mashed up so the outside meat is on the inside too, so the bacteria is on the inside, hence the need to cook it thoroughly.
I feel so trapped. I'm here with my bf who is being s complete ass about it if I'm honest. I've tried to voice my concerns but he just accused me of being ignorant towards French culture. He just said "that's the way they do it here. If you can't understand that then you're an idiot". He won't listen.
What should I do? I know it's too late to do anything so I need to just wait and see if I get sick. But I'm scared to go too far from the apartment in case I get sick. I'm worried about flying home in a few days in case I have food poisoning. I'm terrified of getting E Coli. What would you do? Could a doctor do anything now? Do I have to just wait and see? Any advice would be appreciated!
