eat it raw
I just finished a nice bit of sushi for lunch.. and that got me thinking...
could you, would you , do you... like it raw?
sushi, oysters, steak tartar?
Dead animals, no. Carrots, yes!
you ain't one of them hippy freaky veggie-tarians are you?
Nope. I just like my dead animals to be cooked.
Oh yeah !
Raw meat from either beef or horse, ground or not.
Oysters, clams, etc...
Fish in sushi or sashimi (I had shark once)
I am with you on the raw meat stuff, grynch. I eat my steaks rare and my sushi cold. :)
I like my veggies cooked.
I'll bite the shit out of a tuna. I've eaten bluefish cheek right off the fish.
love sushi.
Kerosene ... sushi in Colo.?... does it come with air miles ?
( I spent two months in Colo.Springs... in.... 1989?.... you must be east of there tho. )
Gunmastr ... you've got me there.. I can't bring myself to eat horse.
Raw meat?
They tried to make me eat raw meat, I said no no no.
Raw veggies? Oh yeah. Carrots, celery, peas...
monkey... stick with the day job dear ( Amy Winehouse you ain't ):cool:
Yeah, for one thing I'm breathing.
I was going to quit my day job today, too. Thanks for nuttin'.

was that you then I saw at last year's Christmas concert?
I go on and off sushi. When I'm in the mood, I really like it. There's a gorgeous little sushi house near my university called Si Sushi. They also do a great line in tea tree desserts.
The underground mall on campus now sports a takeaway noodle and sushi bar, which is nice.

Yes, well, we don't get the freshest raw fish over here, but I don't know any different. And I haven't fallen over dead from whatever disease you get from eating raw fish that just flew in from California or wherever yesterday. I can't believe I just admitted that. Now I am going to think about it everytime I eat sushi! Here I was comfortably deluded about how fresh my raw fish was, and the whole thing is ruined, now. Ah, the hell with it. I still love sushi.
I live about 2.5 hours north-northeast of Colorado Springs. I lived in the springs for about 2 years. Some things I miss about it but I use to hate it. I think there is a thread about it somewhere.

errr....
We don't have real fish here, but we do have "Rocky Mountain Oysters," which after 22 years of living in Colorado, I still have yet to try. Just down the road is a Restaurant/Bar (one of two in that town) that specializes in them.
ok... horse.. and .... shall we call "inland oysters" are a step too far for me.
Yeah, I don't eat horse, either. I live around too many of them that might get suspicious. :3_eyes:

I needed that laugh this morning. :)
Grynch, Gun is a REAL European, not a foreign one.
And a French one at that.
I've eaten horse (in France).
Not something I feel the need to repeat.
It was cooked. And tough.
Have had Steak Tartare, Sashimi, Gravlax and countless dishes containing raw eggs.
I live yet.
Have also eaten various insects. Prepared to Western tastes, bought from a specialist shop by Nanny and Grandad. My sister retched so of course I had to prove myself by eating them. The ants were the nicest.
I couldn't go on I'm A Celebrity... though. Even if my sister was there I could not face a live witchetty grub or vomit fruit. Dead things I can handle, moving things or fruit that smells like puke I really couldn't keep down.
I've never said he wasnt french - I've only said I could not eat horse
Sushi Luve it !!
Oysters , cooker or raw Luve em !!
Steak Tartar , , cant say as Ive ever tried it
but I like my steaks Rare ,
as a friends Aunt Once said " Hell hun , just slap it the head with a shovel and wave a match under its ass !!!"

Been there, done that too (but the insects were cooked). And, same taste: ants are best.
I've eaten something close to "
Rocky Mountain Oysters" called "
Amourettes de mouton". Usually, it is lamb testicles with the
de rigueur cream sauce.
One I cannot make myself too eat are fresh crabs out of a bloody raw clam. ;)
In case some of you are curious, horse meat is more tasty than beef, less fat, more proteins and iron. It can be prepared as ground meat, steack, roast or saussage.
And, we're not talking about race horses here, but draft horses raised specifically for their meat.
It is said to be very good for pregnant women and anemic people. I cannot say if it is true as I am neither.
Also, the southern part of France has some specialties of ass saussage. It is very good, at least in my opinion. And no, I'm not talking about some backside.
Dad once cooked some horsemeat up. As i recall it smelt awful when it was cooking.
Not as bad as the puffball mushroom steaks he dried out in his back room...
Only eaten
Steack Tartare once, one afternoon
à Paris. I'd do it again.
Guacamole. The mole is quite raw, even if the chips you scoop it up with aren't.
My one regret about my tour in northern Japan was I didn't eat more sashimi dinners. Sushi, of course, is accessible to anyone not blindsided by timidity.
The decline of Orange Julius began when they pulled their add-a-raw-egg option from the menu in a national salmonella scare. It's not worth going to them for a beverage now. Now you have to search the 'Net, make it yourself, and assume any risk on your own. No problem with that myself.
Recipe
Another. He doesn't like putting in an egg. But I prefer to.
One with egg whiteRaw goat's milk, every day.
I had my first actual raw sushi (I'd restricted myself to California rolls and things that contained smoked meats and that fake krab/whitefish stuff for the longest time) a couple of weeks ago.
I didn't die from it, it was fairly tasty.
And when it isn't, that's what the wasabi and ginger are for, right?
Yes. Although technically the ginger is to cleanse your palate, rather than stop you retching and gagging and grossing out other diners.
Wasabi clears your nose and gives you a chance to say "Of course, this isn't real wasabi, it's horseradish. mustard and colouring. When I was on my Gap year in Japan..."
Ginger will soothe the belly though.

Very good. I just choked on my coffee.
Seriously, Chezzah, somebody needs to give you a column (not in that way, dirty minded cow!)

Can I haz boths?

love sushi.
I'm with Jim right up to the sushi part. well in a restaurant anyway.
I've caught and eaten most every saltwater fish I've caught raw.
Blues, trout, several types of tuna, kings, skate, flounder, croakers, seabass, stripers ... tons. Shellfish too, had clams I got yesterday. :) Also done mussels (Nasty) and a bunch of other shellfish. No to crabs though. The meat's consistency is like watery snot before cooking. (ewwww)
Bluefish I prefer smoked - the tuna was by far the best raw. It must be THAT SAME DAY fresh and ice cold for me.
They serve to give the thing a Japanese accent, Wolf.
I would start the nervous first-timer on the tuna, the yellowfin, and the cooked shrimp. If he gets brave, just one with salmon eggs. Virtually anyone can eat the kitsune-zushi. It's a rice-ball enveloped in a sweetish sort of crust about the shape and color of an old-school army overseas cap. So named because legend has it kitsune fox-spirits like them.
Sushi - check
Steak tartare - check
Oysters - check
Caviare - check (including crab eggs scooped from under the tail of Mrs King-Crab-straight-from-the-sea, which I thought was pretty barbaric, even though I say it myself!!)
All yummy.
I ate horsemeat (cooked) in Kazakhstan - it was delicious.
All this is gross.
Civilization began when someone threw their wildebeast steak on the camp fire.
The only raw thing I like is desert.
ok Bri-Bri... I have to ask...
have you ever tried any of these things , or it's just the idea of puts you off ?
Never forget that we're all barbarians with a very thin veneer of civilization...
While out celebrating a graduation I was tipsy enough to try an oyster shot (raw oyster in some kind of clear liquor with hot sauce)
was like swallowing snot. Liquored-up snot, but snot none-the-less. But I've never tried the other things. If it looks gross and sounds gross...imma not gonna eat it.
I do like a good filet mignon medium rare, but that's as close as I come to raw.

How do you know :eyebrow:?
From the writings of the late great Jeff Cooper: "Raw impala liver is just that good."
Guess he figured if it was good enough for the lions it was good enough for him.
I've eaten raw red meat.
I've eaten horse.
These statements are made true by the same incident.
How do you know :eyebrow:?
i live in Sinus Valley. I know from snot.

I've been searching the archives and managed to find this pic of Bri-Bri as a child...
that seems about right...
He even got the ginger hair right, bless.
oh gawd,... she's a ginge?
no wonder the attitude.
Back in college we were marinating raw venison and went on a bit of a raw meat and beer binge...
