Steak, chicken and horse TarTar???

[Brian Kevin]

what the actual fuck. I have a mostly open mind to food but it can't bleed, still move or be under cooked. Maybe it's because I'm from the Midwest but while out to dinner last night I had the lucky oppurtunity to watch a man and women both eat steak and horse tartar.

 

Someone give me some insight and say tasted good at least. Just the texture and smell is enough to turn me away-- I'm curious the taste. I'm ready to take the heat for this one (get my pun!?)

I've had horse and steak tartar. They were fine, nothing gastronomically mind-blowing. I think the appeal to most people is that you're eating raw meat topped with a raw egg yolk. (Unless of course others have a different opinion.)

 

I have not tried raw chicken though. Frankly, I don't even know if I would dare.

The only thing I'll eat raw is oysters. By the dozens.

I had horse (I think) on my first trip to Paris. We went to a restaurant, max. Capacity about 23. Dinner was what dinner was. We had a choice of white or red ( meaning the wine). These chucks of indescernible protein arrived. Nothing like I'd ever had. Incredible flavor, whatever the species. And then something spectacular for dessert.

I'm with Brian on horse tartare. The white objects sort of look like hooves during early gestation.

What each of us will and will not eat raw is a very individual thing. I love steak blood rare but won't eat hamburger anyway but well done. I won’t eat steak tartare but that is primarily because I won’t eat raw eggs. I love sashimi (raw fish) but won’t eat seared tuna; I want it raw or well done. I love raw oysters. Talk about inconsistencies – oh well I guess that’s part of what makes me human.

Beef tartare is one of the amazing pleasures of life, if done correctly.

 

I draw the line at poultry.

I like steak tartare, carpaccio. I've had salmon tartare and sashimi, it was OK. I could imagine eating raw chicken if I knew it had been butchered in a way that it hadn't gotten contaminated with salmonella, but that's such a big 'if" that raw chicken is effectively not an option.

 

I can't really imagine eating horsemeat. Many years ago, there was a meat market in Seattle close to the Pike St. Market that specialized in horse meat.

I have always been willing to try anything, there's nothing I've ever refused to eat. Steak tartare is fine to me, but I already like beef and lamb rare. I never knew horse tartare was a thing-- where did you see it being served?

I'm afraid the very idea of poultry anything but well done sickens me and that includes duck breast which many enjoy rare. I'm with the group that can't imagine eating horse meat and that is purely a cultural thing. What is strange is that horses are far more finicky about what the will eat and drink than chickens, ducks or turkeys yet I have no problem eating them.
