Cold vs Room temp meat

[Raulik]

The natural state of meat should be body temperature warm and juicy its tasty that way..

I put my meat on the table so it gets room temp then i eat it.

Cold meat is fucking disgusting smells like shit and foul tasting.

I suppose the true palaeo way would be to strangle a deer or whatever, and feast upon its carcass. Except that it would be much easier to leave the meat to age for a few days  so that it softens enough for easy consumption.

Actually the main problem tastewise with cold meat is that it's too bland - it doesn't really taste like much of anything. When it gets warmer, the flavor intensifies.

Also, "room temperature" in some areas and climates could be pretty cold. Not to mention, paleo people didn't have "rooms". They might find a cave if they were lucky.

I don't find much of a difference between cold and room temperature, meat, personally. Although usually the inside is not as cold as the outside, and it might depend on your refrigerator temperature as well. Blood I prefer to leave outside for a while, as I dislike cold liquids. As dariorpl already said, in some areas, the meat could remain warm, albeit not from the animal itself, while in others it might even freeze.


If you could get meat from an animal that was very recently killed and is still warm, that would probably be the best. It might explain why a lot humans tend to favor warm meat (and to an extent cooked meat?).
