THERE HAS BEEN a health warning from Safefood to ask us to only eat well-cooked burgers. A survey showed that over half of respondents took a chance on eating burgers that were still at least pink in the middle in a restaurant.

Food poisoning is a serious business but does that fear influence how you order a burger?

How do you like yours (either out or at home):
