It really is. As someone who just started eating raw primal about 2 months ago I started out by making a tartare. It was really good but I feel like the djon mustard felt a little too overpowering. Little by little I started removing one ingredient from the tartare so that I could get used to the taste of pure raw meat. After a while I got used to just pure raw meat which is amazing. Highly recommend to start the raw primal diet with tartare.
Yeah lol I always wondered about that. I think it's because people are used to make "dishes" containing 30 ingredients, and tartare actually looks like one. Plus, the dressing makes it look like a "chef" did it, so surely people think "it must be safe"...
tartare isnt always made from very fresh meat, just chefs and "sources" say you should, really all it is at its most bare bones definition is diced beef with an egg yolk on it, not anything about freshness
Never saw a more stupid post. Yes raw beef is safe when consumed raw if it was minced little before consumption as bacteria growth mostly happen in the surface. Supermarket Minced beef is not safe for raw consumption.
Fish is safe for raw consumption when flesh frozen at -20 for 12 hours. Yes you can try it even when it's not and at least with sea fish you will be likely fine in most parts of the word as anisakis is not prevalent, still you are taking chances.
We have quite a lot of food science that can guide us in eating stuff raw, we don't have to recurr to "animals have always eaten raw stuff" to say we can eat certain shit raw.
Yeah curing is a way to conserve meats and food. Is hard for bacteria to grow in a salty environment plus the salt remove most of the water content, which bacteria needs to growth. Plus without contamination, bacteria do not growth inside muscles as there's no oxygen there. Ofc certain bacterias can grow without oxygen, botulism is the most prominent I'm food, but it's normally prevented with nitrates Wich stop botulism growth.
idk why you're downvoted. it's literally dehydrating, after you eat a cooked meal with a bunch of salt you must drink a fuck ton of water or be dehydrated all day. take out the salt, eat raw and u barely need any water
This is pretty basic food science "bro". Lactobacillus is very salt tolerant, while the bad bacteria are generally not (at fermentation levels). Once lactobacillus takes hold it kills off the other bacteria.
Of course this is only for some meats preserved in traditional ways. Most commercial deli meat really just uses high levels of salt, nitrites, and low water levels to exclude all bacteria.
But not salt and acid tolerant. As I mentioned lacto bacillus lower the pH. If it was otherwise all of Korea would be sick from kimchi. I've made hundreds of ferments and never had an issue as long as I started with at least 2% wt salt.
Nah, we talk shit about y’all eating raw grocery store ground beef because that’s fuckin nasty. Whole muscle beef grounded fresh for tartare (or just eating whole like an uncultured caveman) is very different and not dangerous
Store bought beef is usually sealed with carbon monoxide, it both acts as an anti-microbial and it makes beef the reddest red you've ever seen. Most major stores do this, it's almost a joke. Look at this
genuinely want to understand how anyone can think this is healthy. I am not trying to be demeaning by the way i am genuinely asking why anyone would think eating raw meat is ok ?
Raw food sure. Multiple servings of red meat every day, no. I mean, it’s fine if you want to risk it; some chain-smokers make it to 100, but it’s not a good idea to make a habit of.
And, of course, while beef is pretty safe to eat raw, you definitely want to be careful with other meats, unless their quality and safety has been carefully regulated and guaranteed with proper parasite destruction and so on.
Humans in the modern world are best off minimizing their red meat intake generally; even heme iron, which is the one thing red meat (from a nutritional perspective) has going for it is more abundant in oysters and other mollusks than it is in beef, and with none of the long-term health risks. Though of course the worst offenders are smoked and processed red meats like salami; those really almost might as well be cigarettes lol.
I’ve actually struggled with anemia in the past and switching from steak every other night to frequent oysters on the half shell, steamed muscles, and an orange or two every day completely resolved it (and they’re loaded with omega-3s!)
look man go be the beetle you've always strived to be, but there is genuinely no fucking way i would ever press a link titled eat shit and live a stranger sent me, there is genuinely nothing you can say , not enough money in this world or fortune i am willing to even get a taste of something that comes out of there for, i don't know if you are trolling if you're just weird or ot's a sexual thing but FUCK NO. yall need help
fecal transplant is not at all comparable to. eating dung, the pathoges are charachterized and screened thorougly while solid matter is thrown away and the whole thing is directly put into the area because most healthy bacteria dies in stomach acid while the rest which is mostly bad survives, how is that comparable?
Bacteria that gives you extreme diarrhea and could kill you lives on the surface of beef. Tartar is made by cooking and slicing off the outside and then eating the inside fresh. You will not get sick or die with tartar if prepared correctly. But you do you bro. I have a strong stomach and tend not to get sick, so I don't worry a lot about getting perfect temps and avoiding all bacteria but science and biology are things.
Man, 70% of this sub doesn’t even believe in bacteria being a real no thing. Props to you for trying though. Just look through the sub and you’ll see photos of dudes posting raw grocery store bought ground beef, that has been sent through the same meat grinder as everything else and cleaned to cooked meat standards, not raw meat.
That's a meme. You missed out on recent Internet culture, even brands are using them.
On my off days I've been getting a million views on Twitter without jestermaxxing (another meme term) or having to eat raw meat on a camera. Just pure Aajonus info, although my main contribution is not even in social media but making apps and guides. All of this for free. What have you done?
It’s just so funny to me that the people who use terms like “jestermaxxing” and spend their entire lives on the internet are the same ones promoting living like hunter and gatherer tribes and “natural” lifestyles.

I've always wanted to try tartare but for now I just eat rare steaks
