We covered a tricky aspect of Melicha today.

Q:  Does raw meat require melicha to be consumed?

Background:
Given
One may slaughter a beheima for a choleh to eat on Shabbos.. Others may
eat the raw meat because it entails no extra m'lachah.

And Given:
Hadacha IS required to remove surface blood. This is implicit in tur/sa
91 stating that all raw meat is normally rinsed.

EG:
Raw meat to be eaten as above

Raw meat for Zli lechatchila is rinsed

Raw meat for kedeirah is rinsed before salting (hadacha rishona)

Rabbeinu Tam mentions salting for kedeirah. Implying it is not required
for raw meat.

So two sources imply raw meat needs rinsing but not salting.

However any raw meat that is sliced must be re-rinsed because the blood
is poreish.

Q: how can one bite into raw meat w/o causing blood to poreish as with
the knife
or:
is it that being poreish in the mouth does not count
or:
something else.
