WTF is wrong with Wisconsin?

Well, I am 63 and we have consumed raw beef and onions every year since I can remember. Not only my family, but friends family as well.

I'm 61 and have consumed raw beef many times, but not for several years. I believe it used to be more popular in WI back in the day.

There was a restaurant in Milwaukee that served "cannibal sandwiches" and a lot of people would eat it. After Ed Gein became a nationwide news story, they changed the name to "Gein Burgers" and it became a lot more popular. At least for a couple of years. This was back in the late 50s.

Did you hear that Ed Gein once made a belt out of nipples?

It would only work in cold weather. :beer2:
 
To answer the OP, “a lot”.
 
This sounds like steak tartare for broke ass dairy farmers.
 
I bet there is a German culture behind it. I worked with a German engineer. She would eat raw beef liver and wash it down with red wine for lunch. Ate it right out the fucking butcher paper dripping blood like a vampire. It was quite unsettling.

Not me, but e coli only grows on the surface of the beef so only need to get a nice sear to be safe. Ground beef is flat out deadly unless you are preparing clean meat with good surface cleanliness.

Understand. You are talking to a hunter. Safe food prep is important.

I didn't mean gherkins, I meant cornichon, but they're more or less synonymous.

I think it started with the Mongols.

It started before fire

With mustard, onions and pickles served on bread or toast points?

I doubt it.

From what I've read, it's a French take on what they saw/heard the Mongols were doing.

Eating raw meat in any form. But, steak tartare, yeah

Agreed, but based on the OP, I believe a variation of steak tartare is what we're talking about here.

Sort of related, I read an interesting bit about how human brain function exploded when fire was "invented." Apparently, cooking meat allowed us to significantly increase our protein intake in a much safer way, which led to significant gains in brain function.

I thought that was interesting.
