I used to buy them when I was about 14, 15 years old, to eat raw.
They were usually under $1.  Normal kids spent their money on other
things. I prefer rare or medium rare beef, but all I got at home was
medium well to well done, so raw was a treat.

As a kid, beef was well done.  Mostly pot roast or a very thin cut
steak.  My wife introduced me to rare to medium done beef.

It may have been a generational thing back then.  We went to a
cousin's wedding in 1966.  The meal served was a beautiful prime rib,
done medium.  Many of the older guests sent theirs back to be cooked a
bit more and get rid of that pink.

The older guests at a 1966 wedding would be those who had not had
refrigerators when they were young.

In some ways I was spoiled as a kid because we had a nice big roast for
dinner every Sunday and most of the time it was beef.  I never cared
much for. It was often tough and flavourless.  Later on I discovered
rare.  It was so much better. Unfortunately, a lot of people are
squeamish about under cooked meat.

For some reason that reminded me of this.  The scene took place on a
train, traveling through the New Mexico desert.

“I was wondering if the pioneers who ventured here, if they avoided
intercourse, at least during times that could result in pregnancy, and
one more mouth to feed, or if they satisfied each other in other ways.
When I was barely a teenager, I was curious whether my parents had oral
sex.”

“Didn't you kind of figure?”

“No.  I was the youngest of five, and I was no doubt an accident.  Add
to that my parents never seeming to be particularly loving toward each
other, and given the prudery of Americans, it could have gone either
way.  When I was older I thought about the absurdity that every
generation thinks that they were the first to discover oral sex, or at
least for it to be mainstream.  Don't laugh at me, Winter.  It makes me
feel old.”

“I'm not laughing *at* you,  I'm laughing *with* you, except you're not
laughing, Mr. Diddy Wah Diddy.”

At that, Ian did laugh, “I don't know what that means,” but he stood and
beckoned Winter, glad that they weren't traveling coach.

A hoary old joke:
"A woman and a man are man are in car fooling around and as things get
more passionate, she says, "I want you to kiss me where it smells."...
So he started the car and drove her to New Jersey..."
