I'll happily eat the Mett, but come on, that's too much onion and who the heck puts sliced garlic on their Mettbrötchen?

I grew up eating Hackepeter all the time in western KS. We still make it occasionally. Just don't use meat you didn't grind yourself.

My mother was from Kiel and ate stuff like this, until she found out how ground beef is made in the US. :(

Don´t mock it before you tried it (the garlic is a crime though). The proper procedure is to go drinking the night before, get up after 4hrs of sleep max, shamble to work and stuff one of those into you face right after coffee (or before, I am not the Mett police)

Yea, I'm not going for the "don't knock it until you've tried it" thing. I've never tried necrophilia but am comfortable expressing disdain despite the fact many people love it.

Thx for info. I’ve never had to deal with this. May I ask why you refused statins? Are they harmful? I’m just trying to be less ignorant, lol!

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Risks associated with statins include increased risk of diabetes mellitus, hepatic transaminase elevation, & myalgia. My A1C is already in the prediabetes range and I'm not interested in stepping over. I also have intention tremor (a gift from my father) and a history of FLD (a gift from my diet), so mitigating risk is important.

There was a time in the 70’s where some processing plant lapsed on the controls and people got sick. I eat this (with much less onions) several times a week - daily if I am working outside physically. And I love it

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I love the stuff, but that's sadly just wrong, people can and do get sick from it, the numbers are just really small compared to how much is consumed on a daily basis, but assuming it's 100% safe is kidding yourself. You're more likely to get sick from improperly storing it at home though, the regulations for sellers are very strict.

2 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

usually people get sick from it when they overestimate how long after not cooling it one should eat it

No problem here, we have veeery strict food laws. As long as you buy it from a butcher or somewhere fresh and intended as Mett (not simply minced meat), there is nearly zero risk.

Ive never had mett but ive had tartar in France and it tastes exactly like it looks, raw ground meat with some onions on it. Thats its, there is not really any other spice or flavor. Take a big wiff of ground beef, thats the flavor. Kinda like nothing, but a little slimey and cold. For as long as I had been imagining it, it was the least compelling thing I ate there.

2 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 3

Then you didn't go for the classic beef tartar. That has a lot of other ingredients as well most of them quite flavourful (salt, pepper, mustard, capers, onion, pickel, worcestershire sauce).

2 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

It was at a nice restaurant. I'm sure it was made however is traditional. It still just tasted like how a hamburger smells before its cooked, which is not too great. Im all in for snails in butter, but Im fine with tartar being a one time thing.

"Steak tartare or tartar steak is a French dish of raw ground (minced) beef. It is usually served with onions, capers, parsley or chive, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, often presented separately, to be added to taste. It is commonly served topped with a raw egg yolk." - what are you talking about?

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

I was talking about eating tartar. That seemed pretty clear. I do see for some reason you copied and pasted the first paragraph of a wikipedia article in response to an actual real-life personal experience, though, so thanks, I suppose.

USA has a surprisingly large amount of food safely laws. Enforcement is key. We keep deregulating & defunding our important government institutions that could help in this department. It also depends on the state you live in. The state & county I live in has phenomenal food safety standards since we are a tourist destination with millions of visitors every year. I eat raw meat dishes often with no worry.
