Gordon Ramsay - The F Word

[Elmo]

I just stumbled on this British show.  Apparently, it's been on for 5 seasons now.  It's really more of a cooking show but Gordon Ramsay goes out and hunts/catches a lot of the food he cooks in the show which I thought was interesting.

Warning:  I think he named the show "The F-Word" because of the amount of time he drops the F-bomb in the show.

I take it you won't be ordering the pork carpaccio any time soon?

Good, more for me!

I don't think he was being literal in that case, but you can eat raw meat.

I'll tell ya ...I've seen pigs that have been butchered that were infected...and the muscle tissue is riddled with the signs of these parasites...no thank you.........

      What is trichinosis? What are symptoms of trichinosis?    Trichinosis (also termed trichinellosis, trichiniasis, or trichinelliasis) is  a disease caused by parasites, called roundworms (Trichinella spp.), that can  infect and damage many body tissues. Although the parasites can pass through the  intestinal tract and other tissues, muscle tissues are where the majority of  them persist. Trichinosis is usually characterized by two phases; the initial phase  (intestinal) of abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea that begins one to two days  after ingestion and the second phase (muscle) of muscle aches, itching, fever,  chills, and joint pains that begins about two to eight weeks after ingestion.

What causes trichinosis?    Trichinosis is caused by Trichinella species (also termed  parasitic nematodes, intestinal worms, and roundworms) that initially  enter the body when meat containing the  Trichinella cysts  (roundworm larvae) is eaten. For humans, undercooked or raw pork and  pork products, such as pork sausage, has been the meat most commonly  responsible for transmitting the  Trichinella parasites. It is a food-borne infection and not  contagious from one human to another unless infected human muscle is  eaten. However, almost any carnivore (meat eater) or omnivore (eats meat  and plants for food) can both become infected and, if eaten, can  transmit the disease to other carnivores and omnivores. For example,  undercooked or raw bear meat can contain livable  Trichinella cysts. Therefore, if humans, dogs, pigs, rats, or  mice eat the meat, they can become infected. In rare instances, larvae  that inadvertently reaches cattle feed can infect cattle. There are six  species that are known to infect humans:
