Bison tartare that was delicious and the best potato chips I've ever tasted.

That’s where the combination comes in. The texture contrast trait with little toast points makes it entirely different

I still agree with chicken, but beef I've been convinced. When I was about 17 I was working at a small venue / in house catering company. At the time one of my jobs was to start the fire for the smoker and prep the meat. We got a 'baron' of beef. I'm honestly still not sure what cut that was but, it was huge had two grains and a thick fat cap. I had to trim some of the fat and season it. The ow...

Is there even a chicken version of sushi? I’ve never heard of it. But raw chicken generally smells and feels gross, like it’s rotten already. Meanwhile fresh raw beef is nice

Where’d you get it? I’ve never seen it as bison before.

I used to get random cravings for raw meat, probably some iron deficiency or something. I'd buy a steak once a week, season it with some salt pepper and garlic, maybe a few dashes of liquid smoke, and go to town on my NY Strip or Filet (while hidden away from the normal folk, locked in my room to cover the shame). Never got sick or anything, but it satisfied something deep in me from those days...

I can guarantee you that, for me, the contrasting texture would only make the meat texture stand out more. That’s why it’s psychosomatic; it’s a physical response to a mental sensation.

But you're an adventurous eater? What do you eat/did try to call yourself that? Tartare is like really baseline of good kitchen, just like carpaccio Don't want to sound like a dick, but would be really interested in what other foods you're into, when you think, that's too much exotic Edit: to sound even less like a dick: My wife hates the texture and taste of meat in general. So I'm kinda askin...

It's fine if you don't consider me an adventurous eater, but I don't hate the taste and texture of meat. Raw red meat is just one of the things I avoid.

Yeah, I suppose everyone is different. I do have some texture issues where sometimes the contrast makes all the difference

Respectfully, bullshit. First tartare is cut not minced, and usually eaten just after preparing it, there is no time for anything to multiply. When I prepare it at home it is in my stomach less than 30 minutes after cutting it. At that point you have the same risk as licking the knife I used to prepare it. The issue is stuff already in the meat because the animal was sick, like salmonella, hepa...

Per Mariam-Webster:

Mince: to cut or chop into very small pieces

And it is basic food safety knowledge that most bacterial growth on red meats is on the outside due to the muscle density compared to poultry. That’s why you can be served medium or rare steak and not medium chicken. Searing the outside of a steak kills the entirety of the bacteria that are on the surface. The meat must be fresh if you’re going to eat it raw, and you are supposed to carve away the outside layers all around when preparing it regardless, which is how I prepare my own tar-tar.

I have seen commercial kitchens and I have trust issues with undercooked food. I trust myself to make tar-tar at home because I understand how to handle the meat properly. I need to actually know the restaurant before I’ll risk eating tar-tsr there. I’ve had food poisoning that’s nearly killed me before, and it’s not an experience I’d like to repeat.

Minced is simply a size of cut, and it's the size tartare is traditionally cut to. Also, licking a knife is a classically risky activity regardless of what it's been cutting, that's a terrible analogy.

My bad, for some reason I thought that mincing was the act of using a meat grinder. English is not my mother thongue.

Most of the bacterial growth on a steak will be on the outside. As long as the outside is seared, the odds of food borne illness is very low as long as the meat is fairly fresh or has been aged properly. My personal issue with tartar is that the meat is minced. Every surface is now a potential surface for bacteria to grow. The meat must be extremely fresh and the surfaces and knives used to pre...

One of the methods for tartar is searing a thick piece properly, then trimming and tartaring the inner raw/rare meat.

Fun facts: Beef (and I think bison) contaminants tend to be on the outside and should at minimum be seared; ground/minced should still be cooked thoroughly because those outsides have been mixed with a dirty grinder, poultry/salmonella and pork(trichinosis parasite?) are inside and need thorough cooking. Also the way the US washes the bloom off the eggs makes the eggs less likely to cross contaminate and spread salmonella BUT need to be kept in the fridge and salmonella can penetrate the shell and should be cooked through a little runny yolk is fine but sunny side up is risky. Fresh farm eggs done properly can be eaten raw after a brief dunk in some boiling water to clean and sanitize before cracking.

Same here. The flavor is fantastic, but the texture makes me gag.
