In the U.S., that business about pork is really no longer valid; there
haven't been any cases of trichinosis reported for ages (at least
that's what I read somewhere). I regularly cook my pork tenderloins
only to about 120-130 and then let it rest under foil for about 15
minutes.

Lamb is ALWAYS better when rare. Always. And safe.
