Y'all should have seen my Canadian Homie's face when the waitress asked if he wanted his burger cooked medium-rare.
Apparently that's illegal in Canada 😬

Land of the free, home of the burger.
Public health care can’t afford undercooked ground beef risk 😉
What happened to that country?
USA health regulations get a bit paranoid as well. Take pasturized milk for example.
😂😂 did his face look like they asked him to eat raw bugs or live octopus or such?
Interesting. I was just in Montréal and enjoyed delicious medium rare steaks as well as delights like liver, braised cheek and black pudding. 😋 Good wines too. I’d happily eat out in Quebec every day.
Canada sounds like an open-air creche
I think it has more to do with our aging boomer UK mentality. My grandma used to and mum still does, cook the life out of everything.
Those generation's have very high paranoia about food borne illnesses and bacteria.
They believe if pork isn't cooked to a chalk consistency you WILL die. "Bloody" steak? You will also die. Ground beef must be cooked to the point of resembling cigarette ashes...or you'll die.
However, you will find many places in Canada where medium-rare burgers are typical. I worked for a fairly large chain restaurant in Ontario that would cook them medium rare unless specifically requested otherwise.
Definitely not illegal. Most places that know what they’re doing and grind their own will cook it however you want. The places that be in the premade garbage probably won’t though.
When the burgers are illegal, only the criminals will have burgers
Not illegal, just not customary. I would never order a steak other than medium rare. But IMO the fat content of 80/20 ground beef calls for something closer to medium for burgers.
