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.

I'm surprised they weren't back in the caboose!
