hmmmm - raw beef on cracker


At the risk of letting this blog devolve into just another food porn site, I need to share the latest addition to my list of culinary conquests.

I was at an alumni event for my college. It was held in a swanky restaurant with lounge type atmosphere. The waiters were walking around with plates of what appeared to be raw tuna. I took one, found it to be good, and then grabbed two more. A few minutes later the waiter walked by again and the person I was talking to asked what's on the plate. "Steak Tartare", he replied. "As in completely raw beef?", "Yes", said the waiter.
I grabbed another piece and smelled it for a second. The onion and the cheese flavor on the cracker completely masked the smell of raw meat. I don't regret eating it, but I won't go out of my way to try it again either.
