The Raw Meat Thread

[Quintillus]

Or, Whacha Not Cookin' Tonight?

Do you enjoy raw meat? If so, here's the thread to talk about it! If you prefer your meat to be cooked, head over to Fifty's cooking thread!

This past week I've had uncooked fish on four different occasions, and in all cases it was pretty tasty. The dishes included gravad lax (salmon), tuna tartare, and most recently carp.

This thread also not only for tonight, post in it whenever you eat uncooked meat!

The only time I've had raw meat is when I mistakenly ordered steak tartare. It was delicious, I would gladly order it again.

What raw meat dishes do you suggest?

--

My advice is, always have steak tartare with a raw egg on it

 

[BvBPL]

Yes, tartar has egg on it.
Carpaccio is a personal favorite of mine.
Ceviche and sushi are also nice.

Does raw fish count?

Ahh, I've had Sushi. I didn't like it, I'm not a real fish-taste lover. Each to his own..

EDIT: it was western sushi too, so it may not of been the real thing.

If your fish tastes like fish-taste, it's probably not good.

whats fish supposed to taste like then, chicken?

I can remember back to the early 90's when my friends and I would go to Italian restaurants which would serve raw meat or venison "cooked" in some acidic sauce it was left in for a day. Put a little olive oil on the top and eat it on top of some crisp bread and it was actually pretty good.

I eat a lot of sushi and medium-rare beef, but I haven't had the other dishes in this thread.

As long as proper precautionary measures are taken, it's probably not that bad. In most cases, I don't feel like trusting someone to keep raw meat safe.

Well I had some Bratwurstgehäck the day before yesterday. It's the raw filling of a bratwurst and mostly spiced up with pepper.

I like most kinds of sushi and sashimi and I absolutely love ceviche but I don't actually consider that raw since the acid makes it similar to cooked food.

I don't have a problem using raw eggs in a lot of dishes or dressings, especially since I am going to be using pasteurized eggs anyways.

I think my favorite non-fish, raw-food dish is beef carpaccio. I want to try some of the Ethiopian dishes that use raw beef (kibbeh, kitfo), but have not gotten around to it yet.

 

[Synobun]

Sushi, tuna, salmon, and ground beef. Pretty delish.

 

[Tee Kay]

Only seafood (eg fish in sushi). I find other kinds of uncooked meat repulsive.

 

[aelf]

I like to eat rare beef and I like sushi/sashimi. Pretty normal, I suppose.

I've had beef carpaccio and blue steak, and sushi. All of those things were really nice, but I'd only have them in nice restaurants...

In my short training as a chef I ate a couple of different raw meats. The nicest was beef (I wish I could remember what cut it was normally butchers keep it for themselves, but my googling doesn't come up with anything similar) and as a reward for doing well the head chef of the Thai section made me a very strange raw fish dish which was very vinegary to make the bones soft enough to eat.

Wasn't flatiron was it? I know that is one butchers keep for themselves, at least until its recent surge in popularity.

Sushi and sashimi in different variants.

Also raw whale meat (as sushi) and raw horse meat (eaten like sashimi, but I think it has another name that I can't remember).

All things delicious.

I thought raw meat was supposed to be bad because of all the diseases that can be found.
