so I didn’t make near as many entries about German food in 3 years as I have in 1 year in Italia…
My friends seemed to be overly excited about oysters and foie gras…I don’t recall that I’ve ever had either. When they give me strange food and I don’t really like it, I usually just say “it’s allright”…which they’ve now learned means that I think the food is mediocre. This was the first time I actually got to say that I didn’t like something 😉
I’ll try most anything once, and I guess I’m a better person for having tried raw oysters and foie gras, but I will happily admit in the future that I don’t like either if I’m ever offered…
btw does anyone know if they still make deviled ham in the states? I used to love that as a kid…I wonder now if it was supposed to be imitation foie gras.
You should never eat raw food.
I’ve not had any problem with raw meat since I’ve been in Europe (or raw fish in the States). I know you’ve always said that about beef (and always overcooked meat 😉 ) I assume you had a bad experience at some point?
I’ve had lots of raw fish/seafood, and beef (carpaccio, tar tar) without any problem.
There’s also the fish preparing methods of the Scandanavians (looks nasty, but I’ve yet to try the rotton fish they eat).
In France I had a pizza with a cracked raw egg put on after the pizza was already cooked. It congealed a bit, but was actually pretty good to dip the pizza in…
In general I don’t like most of the raw stuff as much as the Italians (but they were raised on this stuff), BUT I’ve never gotten sick.
I’ve also learned to love a rare steak. I don’t think we ever had one of those when I was young…mmmm getting kinda hungry 🙂
u should never eat bad raw food… but fresh raw meaT!!! 🙂 kind of a carnivore….. 🙂
