Mmmm e-coli and campylobacter with a side of salmonella

You need to go to better restaurants. Steak tartare should always be finely shopped.

filet américain <> steak tartare

Glad it wasn't just me who thought that

From what I've just been reading theyre' similar but different dishes. Filet americain is purely meat than can be minced. Steak tartare is fiilet steak mixed with the usual gubbins but is finely chopped (or at least should be)

Indeed, wouldn't trust anything that came with a clean eating tag on it. Those folks are either con-artists or suckers. Or both...

My cats are rather partial to raw chicken, but then their guts are designed for stuff like that. Ours aren't. I've got better things to do in life than poop myself into oblivion...

Oh dear. Did I really need to put in a smiley?

(Apparently the woman who posted it wasn't serious either, and the photograph is from Japan. In Japan you can eat it relatively safely, as it's prepared carefully keeping intestines away from meat. I probably wouldn't risk it. I wouldn't risk fugu either)

[QUOTE 4785290, member: 259"]Confusingly, you can buy filet américain in supermarkets and butchers's shops as well, but that's just extra lean minced beef, and you wouldn't be wanting to eat that raw, as it will have been hanging around for a while.[/QUOTE]
It's not just how old it is, it's how and where it was prepared. Mince ground in industrial slaughterhouses will have faecal matter in it, no question. Steak that is ground/chopped in a clean kitchen will not.

That's why you should always get your hamburger medium to medium rare unless you know a lot about the supply chain.

Bullshit.

 

[jefmcg]

Bullshit.

Yup, that's the stuff.

I don't like steak

I see what you did there

Actually, it was a pretty crappy joke.

Man-ure not funny.
