Just how important is the "fresh, minced-yourself garlic" step? I tend to use stuff like this:
Is the fresh stuff so much better?
Religions have been founded on lesser wisdom than this.
So you're saying if you soak it in water and vinegar, that's called a marinade, but if I brush some beaten eggs on it it's called a wash? Nah, you're just making the rules up now.

I was also raised in a household where both my parents washed chicken too, and that was because both their parents did. I get it, there are legacy reasons people are still doing this, only later in life did my Mom stop after getting into food science, but 1.) what you are doing is more like marinating/wet brining, I wouldn't call that the sort of dangerous washing most are speaking toward in this thread, even if that is what your parents considered it. 2.) even though it's tradition it's one of those things(rinsing meat under the faucet or in a bowl you just dump into the sink) that's actually somewhat dangerous in that it does spread more bacteria and potential aerosols that to me clearly outweighs any benefit rinsing is really gonna have(and to be clear it basically has no benefit other than placebo). Which once I read that it is why I stopped when I really started getting more into cooking. In my mind I just got to take out an often messy and unnecessary step when I'm typically already trying to cook something as fast as I can because I'm hungry.
I don't normally wash meat. I have washed it though when I noticed it had some extra funk, and then cooked it a little extra too.
Clearly there is a LOT of history behind washing meat, way beyond just bacteria. In fact bacteria is probably too recent if a discovery to really be claimed as the purpose of washing meat.
Can we say both sides are right?
Also, this video, which was posted earlier, gives a great background on who washes meat and why. It's quite clearly divided along geographic and cultural lines.

I'm not sure how I'm arguing for the side I'm not on, but did you watch the video? The last minute even has a good summary saying go ahead and wash if you really want to, but don't do it under a running faucet.
What's even funnier is people using the science as an ad hoc justification. Great Grandma Barbara Ann didn't give a fuck about the CDC. She just didn't wash meat because that's how her mother did it, and her mom, and so on and so forth; the science just happened to fall in their favor when it was eventually studied. Which is cool, but when you're using that information to stop short of just calling other groups stupid, anti-science savages, well now, you see how this nonsense gets to this long of a thread.
whatever you do, don't wash your face under a faucet, you'll splash your ugliness everywhere

Yep, thought so.The historical relevance of urine and its future implications - GIN
Introduction In the ancient times urine was considered a sacred element and were related to Hindu’s ceremonies and to Tantric religious traditions (1). Urine was not considered as a waste product of the body but a distilled product selected from the blood. The Sanskrit book Shivambu’ kalpa Vidhi...
wait people actually put stuffing inside the turkey while it cooks?
I'm 37 tomorrow, and literally never seen it cooked in the bird. It'd always made in a casserole dish in the oven or in a pot over the stove.
