Is barbeque season a major health risk?

alessadry @alessadry (81) • United States 30 Apr 08

I am looking forward to buy a new grill and start my favorite season: barbeque season. However, I am pretty concerned about the potential carcinogens present in grilled meat, especially when overcooked. What is your opinion,...

timou87 i do believe that having barbeques excessively can be hazardous to health. firstly, food that is charred has been shown to contain high levels of carcinogens, but this can be countered by paying close attention to the cooking and not letting food get...

do you enjoy add some pepper when you cook lamb?

chenpan @chenpan (381) • China 19 Apr 08

Do you enjoy add some pepper when you cook lamb? as for me ,i enjoy do it.i think add some pepper will make the lamb more delicious . what about you?

lamb

2 responses

timou87 i do enjoy putting some pepper on my lab before i put it to the roast. i think it gives it a certian spiciness that prevents the game taste of the lamb from being too overpowering. but at the end of the day i suppose it boils down to personal preference, as...

timou87 I agree with you completely. Friends are something like a bush, it requires a lot of trimming and pruning throughout our entire life. We have many friends when we are younger, but as we grow older and wiser, our circle of friends usually shrinks to a select...

Which fish tastes the best in your opinion?

youless @youless (112586) • Guangzhou, China 6 Nov 08

I will pick salmon and I especially like eating the fresh salmon. I like to dip it with soy sauce and wasabi. Besides it, I think cod also tastes very well but it's also very expensive.

timou87 I personally like salmon very much too. It is such a versatile fish, you could really cook it in almsot any way and it would still taste wonderful. You could grill it with a simple honey glaze. You could broil it with an oriental flavored oyster sauce. You...
