[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ordered a kafta sandwich (mixed ground lamb and beef) at a restaurant today.  I took a bite -  it was pink inside.  I asked at the counter.  They said that they would redo it and gave me something to eat gratis while I waited.  They brought me a new sandwich (I cut into it, but did not eat it - it was similarly pink).  I was so full from the goodies they had given me while I waited that I just dumped the sandwich and didn't say anything (they were so sweet about the whole thing).

My question is - are kaftas just this color?  I grew up eating meat this color, but was under the impression it was no longer the done thing.

I am generally healthy and am not pregnant, so am not worried about the one bite I took - just curious.[/quote]

I am assuming that you were eating lamb. Lamb, even ground lamb, is best prepared to medium rare in my opinion. That would make it pink. I would consider anything else overcooked.  Here's a recipe on epicurious for ground lamb for comparison.
