What a joke. I eat steak tartare at least twice a month. Even raw pork is safe to eat as trichinosis is no longer a threat. I brine/cure/cold smoke Atlantic farm raised salmon a couple times a month. Farm raised salmon is the only fresh raw fish that is totally safe to eat. Wild salmon on the other hand is riddled with parasites.
My favorite `cannibal sandwich’ is pump rye rounds smeared with hot sauce & horseradish with lean raw ground beef in between.
Amazed how many have never heard of this Wisconsin specialty.
The faculty buffet line at St. Norbert College included steak tartare. The joke was wait until at least three Norbertine priests have blessed it before taking a serving.
German heritage?
