Sorry WiscoDave, you lose out again


 

Wisconsinites turning to comforting family traditions during the holiday season have been warned by their state health department to avoid one in particular: cannibal sandwiches. 

The sandwiches – also known as “tiger meat” and, for the fancier-minded, “steak tartare” – consist of ground raw meat, typically beef, on a slice of bread, topped with raw onions.

I used to see these in German bars, sitting on the bar under a cake glass, unrefrigerated. No, I never got drunk enough to try one.
Come to think of it, I don't recall ever seeing anybody else try one either.
