Food / Tatar - a raw meat dish [28]
From the mistakes-you-make-only-once department:
Many years ago, I bought what looked like fresh tatar on Saturday morning from a meat stand. Little did I realize that it was probably from Thursday and the weather hadn't been that cold. I bought it thinking to make hamburger steak (which might have been okay) but a 'friend' said it looked like tatar so I had it that way (minus egg or sardine or pickle or vodka). About 36 hours later I became sick as a dog with a splitting headache and really bad case of the shakes. Strangely I don't remember throwing up though I assume I did.
I still enjoy tatar but only from places I trust (and lots and lots of vodka, did I mention lots of vodka?)
