Hi, Milwaukee, Wisconsin native here. DO NOT USE THE GROUND BEEF FROM THE STORE. You buy a fresh eye round or ribeye then chop it up at home. Better texture and much less risk.
Phew. OK, thank you. Someone above commented that in Wisconsin people just use the regular pre-ground ground beef and I was...afraid for all your health.
Especially since if you want to be extremely safe you can wash the outside of the rib-eye off and then put it in the freezer to make it easier to grind.
Yup, mett (or hackepeter as it's called in Berlin) is made with raw pork rather than beef. When eaten on a roll with raw onions, it's called Mettbrötchen. Germans like to turn their hackepeter into art like a hedgehog and someone has even made it into Kermit the Frog! The wildcat sandwich from Wisconsin is the result of German immigration to the area in the 19th century. And yes, there are rules regarding mett consumption in Germany like how mett is not allowed to contain more than 35% fat, and unless pre-packaged, mett can only be sold on the day of production. Generally speaking, people don't get sick from it, but there has been outbreaks there like Campylobacter coli and salmonella where consumption of it was the culprit.
mettbrötchen is soo good i cant imagine it would taste any good with beef though, i don't like the taste of beef that much (übrigens immer diese Berliner und Bayer mit ihrer extra wurst)
ahhhh i always get so annoyed with people eating anything remotely close to mettbrötchen and then complain about it. thank you for clearing up some misunderstandings that a lot of people have! oh just to clarify, i dont mind if people dislike eating raw meat, thats obviously totally fine
@@abyzma201 in Poland we eat raw beef and it's called Tatar or Befsztyk Tatarski (steak tartare in English apparently? I just googled it) and it's absolutely delicious. But we add more than just raw onions. You add a raw egg yolk to act as glue, pickled cucumbers, maybe pickled chantarelles or capers as well. The meat most people usually buy for this has to be specifically labelled as steak tartare, and undergoes even more rigorous tests and has a very short shelf-life compared to regular meat. In contrast to you, I've never had any raw pork and I'm not convinced it would taste good either :-)
he wont, butchered cows are below a certain age before they have a chance to be likely to develop that prion. cows older than that certain age that are still butchered have the spine and head fully removed before it would arrive at a butcher.
In humans it is called Kreutzfeld-Jacob-Desease, and it takes app. 20 years to develop. But it is not likely to catch it from muscle meat anyways, since BSE is located in the brain. (BSE= bovine spongiforme encephalopathosis, i.e. spongelike braindeath in cattle). With the low food standards in the US a trichinosis, salmonella or e. coli is more likely. Let's just hope the guys stay healthy!
I love Steven’s enthusiasm 😂😂😂 but for real though, David you should NOT have gotten that beef from a supermarket!!! If you’re gonna eat raw meat, you NEED to get it from a butcher to ensure that it’s as fresh as possible and has been kept and handled in the best possible condition. I’ve never eaten a Wisconsin sandwich, but I have ate steak tartare and it is absolutely delicious. I have watched videos of chefs who prepare it and they talk about what they do to ensure its food safe, and that’s pretty much what they do. Also, while believe me I understand your aversion, if you eat sushi then it really isn’t that different/more bizarre of a concept once you really break it down. So as long as you do your research and take the necessary precautions, you ought to be safe. Love your content David, and your willingness to risk your life for our entertainment 😂 but for the love of God, if you’re ever gonna do a raw meat recipe again, DON’T BUT THE MEAT FROM THE SUPERMARKET!!!
The butcher's is not necessarily the best choice, it depends on where you are. Local butchers in my area (which is Russia) work with traditionally grass-fed farmer beef which means the cows basically roam free, drink from the river and it is NOT safe to eat raw, because of possible tapeworm hazard. Your best option go to a place that sells food in wholesale for HoReCa like Metro (because they store and handle it properly) and buy there a piece of grain-fed beef certified to be eaten raw packed in vacuum. Normally grown by a big farming enterprise with a name, in Russia there are only TWO of them. One of them also have their own supermarket, so getting your beef from there is also fair play. And then, you can enjoy it as steak, medium rare burger, tartar, carpaccio or other raw meat dishes.
Exactly what I was thinking about. Tartare meat is usually from sirloin or tenderloin, which are rarely infested by parasites, and it is rather scraped than ground - this method supposedly kills any parasites and their eggs
For tartare sandwich you buy the expensive best beef... And better, you go in the restaurant that is famous for preparing them... I love it but I eat it only in restaurants, that have very good reviews... You chop the beef much more fine... (different technique) And yes, usually you drink alcohol together with this food 😉 😮

Well here in Belgium eating raw beef is pretty common ! It's called "américain préparé" Or "tartare de boeuf". You can buy directly some already seasoned (usually with mayo, salt, pepper, etc.). It's orangyish and we eat it in sandwiches. Also you can order it at like every restaurants. The beef will be raw and seasoned with capers, onions, Mayo or Worstcheshire sauce, etc. You eat it with fries and salad and my god that's one of my favorite dish.
Beef tartare is super common in Czechia (central Europe). The beef is ground very very finely and mixed with fresh egg yolk and seasoned with salt, pepper, mustard, ketchup and worchestershire sauce. It is then spread on a top of a toast (which in my country means deep-fried sourdough bread that you rub with clove of fresh garlic after fying) and sprinkled with some diced onion. We usually wash it down with some Pilsen. Yum!
Your reaction to Stephen eating the raw beef sandwich was hilarious! I would have been the same, though. The medium rare pumpkin pie is a crime against food, imo.
Most of the pumpkin pie I have had was way overcooked. Fortunately my mother gets it right. She doesn't make it this rare but it's not dried out and rubbery either. I'd rather have this rare one than an over baked one.
If you have a good local butcher nearby they’ll grind up some high quality fresh cuts for you. There’s no need to risk it with supermarket beef, even if the place is reputable.
Isn't raw ground beef less safe than a steak due to increased surface area? I think they recommend to cook ground beef more. Maybe fresh grind your own if this is your jam!
I’m pretty sure the idea is that most bacteria or whatever there is that could contaminate the beef would be on the outside of it, so cooking it as a steak virtually kills everything even if the middle is raw. But if you ground it before cooking it, now everything has become contaminated unless everything is “well done”
@@jasonrodriguez3618 Unless a steak has been mechanically tenderized it's fine to eat rare as long as the outsides have been cooked (seared) on all sides, not just the top and bottom. Mechanical tenderization involves driving long pins into the meat to cut the fibres, but by doing so the pins drive any surface bacteria deep into the meat. Unless you're buying the kind of extra-thin fast-fry steak we call in Canada 'minute steaks' it's best to avoid mechanically tenderized meat and instead use moist cooking methods to cook tougher cuts.
the raw beef sandwich is close to something called "Mett" in germany but the meat is cured and 100% safe to eat. You eat it on a fresh Breadroll with onion and some ground pepper. its really good if you get it fresh from the butcher.
Mett isn't cured at all. Mett is 100% raw. It's raw pork, and it is absolutely delicious. 100% safe to eat, too. We have great food standards that come into play. Get it from a Metzger, put it on a Brötchen in a thick layer with a lot of raw onions and pepper...fucking heaven.
@@cliff009 actually thanks to how Mett is created it IS technically a form of cured meat since all curing is is putting salt on it and waiting while in Mett you add salt and pepper and just yeet it into the counter technically curing it over time
@@trueMCGRaven yeah no. You can get fresh Mett in every butcher shop. There is no salt, just raw ground pork. You have to season it yourself. Mett is never cured in any way. Mett is raw pork. I don't know why we are debating this, honestly. Butcher shops may give you preseasoned Mettbrötchen. Doesn't mean that Mett isn't inherently not seasoned.
Steak tartare is eaten a lot of places usually with a raw egg on top. I would never get ground beef from the store and eat it, I would grind my own steak.
im from poland and the raw beef sandwich is something Im used to eating as my grandma would make me an exact same sandwich but with no cheese and with raw yolk mixed with the meat 😂maybe that's why I'm vegan now
Wisconsinite here. Cannibal Sandwiches aren't common here. Some people order their burgers extremely rare, but that's the case everywhere I've been. The Wisconsin food people actually need to know (that people actually eat) is Butterburgers. I didn't realize until somewhat recently that it's even a regional food, but it's very good. Most local burger places use butter as the main/only condiment.
These sandwiches were popular years ago but with the loss of small butchers you could trust, they have fell out of popularity. I would never consider eating beef raw from a supermarket meat department! No!
I grew up in Milwaukee and nearly every family I knew (including mine) would eat them every xmas. I grind my own and keep the tradition alive and its delicious (never used cheese though)
I learned that in Germany they eat raw pork with salt, pepper, and onions, so a raw beef sandwich doesn’t seem as terrible (given some people also order their steaks rare). Taenia solium and taenia saginata galore tho 😆 (1:16)
Righht. It’s also why I get iffy with eating my steak medium rare, because in my country we probably even have less stricter meat production laws. Although, I always thought America had stricter meat production standards, which is why they could eat things not so cooked.
@@elizabethheyn5365 beef is only risky on the outside surfaces- so a medium rare or even rare beef steak isn't risky so long as the outside is cooked. But when the surfaces are ground up and mixed through a pile of ground beef, now you need to cook it through to have the same level of safety.
@@elizabethheyn5365 with ground meat the concern is bacteria as when you grind beef which the bacteria can't penetrate the meat just the surface when you grind it out gets throughout. It's also a cross contamination concern as you can never get a meat grinder 100% clean. It's why it's safe to eat steak tartare but you can't eat ground beef tartare
a Wisconsin resident, we ate raw beef and onions on rye all the time but we had a local butcher who we would tell what we were getting the raw beef for and he would take the time to clean his grinder and grind our beef fresh and we ate it the same day! Loved it, miss those days !
Hon, I'm not an alarmist , but when you have time, please get checked for parasites. I've had them from eating raw animal products. Treatment is not painful or expensive, but you do want to take care of it in the early stages. Love you both.
I actually do like pumpkin pie softer like that so I'd do that but hers looked even more set than yours did, it didn't spread on her plate so I think hers just wasn't fully cooled lol
Iv never made it but Iv heard you are supposed to take it out the oven when it's still jiggly and it sets up in the fridge but hers looks just a bit softer it looks good tbh though
honestly i think theres nothing more respectable than a content creator who just doesnt acknowledge the audience at all. just doing wild shit (thats harmless) and never addressing it. queen shit
Wisconsin native here. My dad always ate raw hamburger sandwiches, but I never tried it myself. And when he was making cheeseburgers sometimes I'd see him tear off a bit of raw burger, add a dash of onion salt and eat it. Kind of an old school thing that I literally have never known any young person here to eat.
David & Crew, Hi guys, I'm 71 this year and am a very adventurous eater. I've always eaten very rare or raw meat and raw eggs all my live and have never gotten sick from it. I first had steak tartare in around 1970 in NYC at the (alas now defunct) Kleine Konditorei (Little Bakery) on 86th street. I went first for the wonderful austrian desserts but eventually ventured into the menu to try other things. I agree with your German friend that this stuff is delicious. The German version seasons the meat with salt pepper spice and a raw egg. I find my fellow Americans very squeamish about many foods, some eat no organ meats whatsoever. David I know you're getting better about this. Especially for a cooking show host that's essential. Hugs to you both. Jim Oaxaca Mexico
The resident German 😂 I love pulling anyone’s chains who studied abroad. We do eat raw fish for sushi but I draw the line at raw anything else. Thanks for cheering up my Friday! ❤
The Midwestern raw reef sandwiches are actually French/German. Tartar(e) on bread still is a staple over here, even though it's a niche product. Mett is ground pork, true. And very popular in my region together with beer. However, the beef is not ground beef made for cooking, it's usually better quality ground steak. And it's usually dressed with a special sauce. Go to a butcher for it.
I'm 35 and when I was little my grandparents used to snack on pieces of raw ground beef as they were cooking, they would roll a raw chunk into a ball, put salt and pepper and eat. They also gave it to us as kids without even thinking. I don't eat it today but still love my steak rare and don't mind the texture of raw sushi! 😂🥰
My 6th grade teacher had us make pumpkin parfaits with Nilla wafers, canned pumpkin, and whipped cream. That was my first try at any pumpkin "pie" and reminds the best pumpkin pie I've had thus far
Been living in Germany for almost 20 years and some of my friends who used to work at construction sites call it „Baustellensalat“ or construction salad. So yeah, people here love it lol
Speaking of Wisconsin, if you told me that Velveeta mac and cheese casserole was ALSO from Wisconsin...I'd totally believe you. That dish is Wisconsin on steroids 😂. As a certified cheese connoisseur, although my favorite remains cheese made in Switzerland, Wisconsin is really doing God's work by making over 600 different cheese varieties and producing around 3 billion pounds of cheese every year. A fun fact about them...they would've had Michigan's Upper Peninsula if there wasn't a war over Toledo. Yes, Michigan and Ohio had a dispute over Toledo and in order to stop it from escalating, they let Michigan have statehood and the Upper Peninsula in exchange for giving up its claim over Toledo. And that's why Toledo belongs to Ohio!
German here - you have to season the raw meat with salt, pepper, raw egg yolk and minced onion straight into. At most butcher's places you can already buy it pretty seasoned, I don't know whether the egg yolk is something only my dad does, but it makes the 'Mettbroetchen' taste more round(?).
In Europe we sure have plenty of raw meat dishes. Like Tatar in Poland, it’s fine chopped beef with onion, mustard, oil and sour cucumber. And raw egg yolk. Totally delicious if you can trust your sources.
In Austria it is also totally normal and fine to eat raw meat, but mostly beef, as pork is linked to different zoonosis. We usually eat beef tartare, where the beef ist seasoned with mustard, egg, salt, pepper, capers, pickles. It is really delicious!
Your face says it all when trying the raw meat sandwich. I had a hard time watching it without a gag reflex, especially after Stephen laid into it like it was it was the best thing since sliced bread.
German here and we do in fact eat raw pork (Mett) and raw beef (Tartar). I don’t know anyone who became sick but you do have to go to an actual butcher and make it clear that you’re going to eat it raw to make sure it’s safe.
My mother would change up her mac and cheese recipe every year for thanksgiving. She didn't use Velveeta but she would add cooked diced sausage or cooked ground beef. It was like a meal within a side. If the Velveeta was removed and substituted with grated sharp/medium cheddar cheese blend, I think it would be better. All that was done was shortening the step of making a roux by using Velveeta and heavy cream. But to each their own.
Raw ground beef/lamb is a huge favorite in Turkey (Çiğ köfte) and the Middle East (specifically Lebanon's kibbeh nayyeh), hopefully you'll try one of those one day! (Also, honorable mention to French steak tartar)
I understand your concerns regarding the raw beef with the US food standards. Here in Europe it is far more strict as Steven says and therefore quite normal. Some examples: steak tartare, americain (or Martino spread), carpaccio,...
I'm not from Wisconsin but from a neighboring state (Michigan) and I had known about cannibal sandwiches for a while, but from my understanding it is mostly served on those small rye cocktail breads and is usually a holiday food? But someone from WI who has indulged can maybe correct me.
Anyone who thinks Germans don't have a sense of humor have never seen a Mettegal. It is essentially ground beef and other accoutrement in the shape of a hedgehog.
The first one looks like a deconstructed version of a Southern Brazilian dish from the city of Curitiba called Carne de Onça, it's very popular and delicious, and not that weird haha. You should look it up!
I am German and when you showed that ground beef concoction my first thought were also why would you do that until I realized that our Mettbrötchen is actually the same. The thing is I never thought of Matt as ground pork, any ground beef and Mett always were two different things for me and I wasn't really thinking about that I was eating raw meat until my 20s. I guess the food standards in Germany are way stricter than in the US. We usually have it on a slice of bread with raw onions and salt and pepper, which is really good. Probably a whole lot more enjoyable if you don't have to worry about the questionable food standards. hahah
The first recipe yeah it's a Wisconsin thing and the bar I go to it's sever with beer cheese soup and you smear a thin layer on the bread and it's not bad pretty good actually. It's just a way cheesier version of taco or fajita casserole.
In Syria, we have a dish which is a mix of ground beef, bulgur, olive oil, and some spices. We call it Raw Kebbeh. It's really good especially with bread but we don't eat big quantities of it. Also, you gotta make sure the beef is kinda fresh. I don't find it weird to eat raw beef, but it's definitely concerning.
Hey David, for the ground meat you could buy a steak and grind some of the inner part that's not exposed that would probably be safer than buying a whole chunk ground because the outside is what's actually "dangerous" usually.
For the ground beef, in order to comply with FDA standards, I would’ve grabbed a whole cut of a cow you like (ribeye, strip, or tenderloin), trim the outside to reduce contamination, then grind yourself to to be much safer.
I like mett (german dish of raw pork put on bread) or tartar, but for it you usually take the high-end pieces that are carefully controlled, not regular ground beef from the store. + have to say, the cheese bothers a little
Mett is delicious. You have to come to germany and try the originally one. We never put cheese on Mett. Just raw onions or without up to you but no cheese. If you getting sick from your take on trying Mett than get some rest and drink warm tea. just that you get back on track without feeling sick. hope you´ll be healthy again and be able to do your awesome stuff. Credit to your boyfriend that he liked it ♥
um, even people who eat cannibal sandwiches say that you have to go to a butcher, choose the fresh cut of meat, and have it put through a CLEAN grinder Store bought ground beef, which is multiple cows and put through a dirty grinder, is NOT safe to eat raw
The Velveeta casserole while employing a weird cooking method, is essentially a struggle meal we call Chili Mac (which is essentially the iconic Hamburger Helper before they ripped it off XD ) so I wasn't surprised it was good. I was surprised you didn't expect it XD
The other thing is, cannibal sandwiches are served on cocktail rye slices (3 inch diameter) as an appetizer, not a huge wide-pan slice of marble rye as the main meal.
There’s also raw meat sandwich stuff in my country (Netherlands) that’s widely popular and available, I’ve never had it myself cause my mom was always afraid I could get sick, but she would eat it herself almost daily. No one I know has eve gotten sick. It doesn’t appeal to me but 🤷🏾♀️I would never try it in the US though 😅 Always a delight to see a video of yours on my feed 👌🏾👌🏾
Okay I'm from Wisconsin and had this man times. I've never seen cheese on it for the record. Also normally people either source from a high end butcher or hey suicidal ground meat at the store. It's normally only on special occasions like Christmas so stores have some specifically ground.
Like most Germans, I love a good roll with minced pork and onions, pepper and salt. However, there are rules for consuming raw pork mince. It must be freshly minced and eaten within a few hours without breaking the cold chain. The French are well-known for consuming raw beef mince with their steak tartare, even enjoyed with a raw egg yolk. I am a big fan.
when i saw you putting together the raw beef sandwich i genuinely said out loud “DAVID THATS SO MUCH WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP” it was like watching my friends put too much of the last dab on a chip or something
The pumpkin pie I actually came up with the recipe that is like half cake half pumpkin pie. Tony different you do is only add one cup of flour instead of eggs. And it will be basically very moist cake. I think she have to bake it like 15 minutes longer.
3:25 if they were going for a tar tar type dish then they really screwd up because tar tar is cooked with the acid from lemon juice or something and the meat has to be super thin

Sirloin* not ribeye. You don’t want fat in it. Thats why eye of round is preferred to use. It’s the leanest cut
I ate ground beef from the store raw all the time as a kid. Never got sick. Maybe y'all just have crappy immune systems. 🤷
I'm worried about that ground beef. I'm shocked you didn't just source some high end beef from a local butcher and have them grind it for you

Mechanical tenderization involves driving long pins into the meat to cut the fibres, but by doing so the pins drive any surface bacteria deep into the meat. Unless you're buying the kind of extra-thin fast-fry steak we call in Canada 'minute steaks' it's best to avoid mechanically tenderized meat and instead use moist cooking methods to cook tougher cuts.
Ya mans went in on that sandwich he was eating that thing like it was the last meal on Earth!!! 😂😂😂😂
Consistency of the pumpkin pie is actually similar to Caramel pudding we make with condensed milk and eggs. I think it looks really delicious.
the raw beef sandwich is close to something called "Mett" in germany but the meat is cured and 100% safe to eat. You eat it on a fresh Breadroll with onion and some ground pepper. its really good if you get it fresh from the butcher.
Mett isn't cured at all. Mett is 100% raw. It's raw pork, and it is absolutely delicious. 100% safe to eat, too. We have great food standards that come into play. Get it from a Metzger, put it on a Brötchen in a thick layer with a lot of raw onions and pepper...fucking heaven.
@@cliff009 actually thanks to how Mett is created it IS technically a form of cured meat since all curing is is putting salt on it and waiting while in Mett you add salt and pepper and just yeet it into the counter technically curing it over time
@@trueMCGRaven yeah no. You can get fresh Mett in every butcher shop. There is no salt, just raw ground pork. You have to season it yourself. Mett is never cured in any way. Mett is raw pork. I don't know why we are debating this, honestly. Butcher shops may give you preseasoned Mettbrötchen. Doesn't mean that Mett isn't inherently not seasoned.
Yes they mentioned mett in this video
@@trueMCGRaven you might think of Mettwurst, which is an entirely different thing
You and Steven look so cute together i can'tttt 😭😭😭❤️
Steak tartare is eaten a lot of places usually with a raw egg on top. I would never get ground beef from the store and eat it, I would grind my own steak.
That a might be my new favourite spelling of tartare 😂😂
@@ludovicapiccinini7936 I didn’t spell check it, I was trying to get my point across that’s all…..I fixed it to appease you.
i LOVE how steven just went nuts on that raw beef lmao
Steven is a good addition. very swag, very cool, I like it
😂😂😂
Are they siblings??
im from poland and the raw beef sandwich is something Im used to eating as my grandma would make me an exact same sandwich but with no cheese and with raw yolk mixed with the meat 😂maybe that's why I'm vegan now
Wisconsinite here. Cannibal Sandwiches aren't common here. Some people order their burgers extremely rare, but that's the case everywhere I've been. The Wisconsin food people actually need to know (that people actually eat) is Butterburgers. I didn't realize until somewhat recently that it's even a regional food, but it's very good. Most local burger places use butter as the main/only condiment.
These sandwiches were popular years ago but with the loss of small butchers you could trust, they have fell out of popularity. I would never consider eating beef raw from a supermarket meat department! No!
I grew up in Milwaukee and nearly every family I knew (including mine) would eat them every xmas. I grind my own and keep the tradition alive and its delicious (never used cheese though)
Everybody’s so creative
My stomach is bubbling.
I learned that in Germany they eat raw pork with salt, pepper, and onions, so a raw beef sandwich doesn’t seem as terrible (given some people also order their steaks rare).
Taenia solium and taenia saginata galore tho 😆
(1:16)
Yes we or better a lot of Germans do that. But a David explained, the food safety rules are a complety different story.
Righht. It’s also why I get iffy with eating my steak medium rare, because in my country we probably even have less stricter meat production laws.
Although, I always thought America had stricter meat production standards, which is why they could eat things not so cooked.
Mettbrötchen. It's absolutely delicious and a staple in German breakfast.
@@elizabethheyn5365 beef is only risky on the outside surfaces- so a medium rare or even rare beef steak isn't risky so long as the outside is cooked. But when the surfaces are ground up and mixed through a pile of ground beef, now you need to cook it through to have the same level of safety.
@@elizabethheyn5365 with ground meat the concern is bacteria as when you grind beef which the bacteria can't penetrate the meat just the surface when you grind it out gets throughout. It's also a cross contamination concern as you can never get a meat grinder 100% clean. It's why it's safe to eat steak tartare but you can't eat ground beef tartare
a Wisconsin resident, we ate raw beef and onions on rye all the time but we had a local butcher who we would tell what we were getting the raw beef for and he would take the time to clean his grinder and grind our beef fresh and we ate it the same day! Loved it, miss those days !
Stephen is a natural showman!
Hon, I'm not an alarmist , but when you have time, please get checked for parasites. I've had them from eating raw animal products. Treatment is not painful or expensive, but you do want to take care of it in the early stages. Love you both.
I actually do like pumpkin pie softer like that so I'd do that but hers looked even more set than yours did, it didn't spread on her plate so I think hers just wasn't fully cooled lol
Iv never made it but Iv heard you are supposed to take it out the oven when it's still jiggly and it sets up in the fridge but hers looks just a bit softer it looks good tbh though
honestly i think theres nothing more respectable than a content creator who just doesnt acknowledge the audience at all. just doing wild shit (thats harmless) and never addressing it. queen shit
I've personally had beef sashimi, goat sashimi and horse sashimi in various parts of japan. They were delicious!
Steven’s reaction v David’s to the raw beef sandwich 😂
Wisconsin native here. My dad always ate raw hamburger sandwiches, but I never tried it myself. And when he was making cheeseburgers sometimes I'd see him tear off a bit of raw burger, add a dash of onion salt and eat it. Kind of an old school thing that I literally have never known any young person here to eat.
David & Crew, Hi guys, I'm 71 this year and am a very adventurous eater. I've always eaten very rare or raw meat and raw eggs all my live and have never gotten sick from it. I first had steak tartare in around 1970 in NYC at the (alas now defunct) Kleine Konditorei (Little Bakery) on 86th street. I went first for the wonderful austrian desserts but eventually ventured into the menu to try other things. I agree with your German friend that this stuff is delicious. The German version seasons the meat with salt pepper spice and a raw egg. I find my fellow Americans very squeamish about many foods, some eat no organ meats whatsoever. David I know you're getting better about this. Especially for a cooking show host that's essential. Hugs to you both. Jim Oaxaca Mexico
The resident German 😂 I love pulling anyone’s chains who studied abroad. We do eat raw fish for sushi but I draw the line at raw anything else. Thanks for cheering up my Friday! ❤
The Midwestern raw reef sandwiches are actually French/German. Tartar(e) on bread still is a staple over here, even though it's a niche product.
Mett is ground pork, true. And very popular in my region together with beer.
However, the beef is not ground beef made for cooking, it's usually better quality ground steak. And it's usually dressed with a special sauce. Go to a butcher for it.
We will never let Emily forget about the pumpkin pie.
The sheer disappointment and disgust at his man for finishing that raw beef
I'm 35 and when I was little my grandparents used to snack on pieces of raw ground beef as they were cooking, they would roll a raw chunk into a ball, put salt and pepper and eat. They also gave it to us as kids without even thinking. I don't eat it today but still love my steak rare and don't mind the texture of raw sushi! 😂🥰
My Aunt used to do that, also, she would sometimes put raw hamburger on a cracker with salt and pepper
That lady not responding to any of the pumpkin pie comments is legendary
My 6th grade teacher had us make pumpkin parfaits with Nilla wafers, canned pumpkin, and whipped cream. That was my first try at any pumpkin "pie" and reminds the best pumpkin pie I've had thus far
Steven’s naturally hilarious. Brilliant stuff.
Been living in Germany for almost 20 years and some of my friends who used to work at construction sites call it „Baustellensalat“ or construction salad.
So yeah, people here love it lol
Speaking of Wisconsin, if you told me that Velveeta mac and cheese casserole was ALSO from Wisconsin...I'd totally believe you. That dish is Wisconsin on steroids 😂. As a certified cheese connoisseur, although my favorite remains cheese made in Switzerland, Wisconsin is really doing God's work by making over 600 different cheese varieties and producing around 3 billion pounds of cheese every year. A fun fact about them...they would've had Michigan's Upper Peninsula if there wasn't a war over Toledo. Yes, Michigan and Ohio had a dispute over Toledo and in order to stop it from escalating, they let Michigan have statehood and the Upper Peninsula in exchange for giving up its claim over Toledo. And that's why Toledo belongs to Ohio!
Why would anyone want Toledo?
I kid, I have been there many times and it's not that bad.
German here - you have to season the raw meat with salt, pepper, raw egg yolk and minced onion straight into. At most butcher's places you can already buy it pretty seasoned, I don't know whether the egg yolk is something only my dad does, but it makes the 'Mettbroetchen' taste more round(?).
I have never heard of anyone putting raw egg in their Mett before, so I'd wager it isn't normal.
In Europe we sure have plenty of raw meat dishes. Like Tatar in Poland, it’s fine chopped beef with onion, mustard, oil and sour cucumber. And raw egg yolk. Totally delicious if you can trust your sources.
In Austria it is also totally normal and fine to eat raw meat, but mostly beef, as pork is linked to different zoonosis. We usually eat beef tartare, where the beef ist seasoned with mustard, egg, salt, pepper, capers, pickles. It is really delicious!
5:02- Its nothing yet in Poland popular dish is tatar. I. E raw beef meet mixed with onion, pickle, salt, peeper, and... Raw egg
David is the best part of my Fridays. Thank you ❤️
In France they have steak tartare, raw beef with herbs and raw egg yoke. Popular here in Sweden too
Your face says it all when trying the raw meat sandwich. I had a hard time watching it without a gag reflex, especially after Stephen laid into it like it was it was the best thing since sliced bread.
German here and we do in fact eat raw pork (Mett) and raw beef (Tartar). I don’t know anyone who became sick but you do have to go to an actual butcher and make it clear that you’re going to eat it raw to make sure it’s safe.
This is the first time I've looked at a Velveeta monstrosity and thought 'thats the reasonable recipe.' I'm a cheese goblin. I never choose Velveeta
It's always valveeta on TikTok if it was a cheddar mozzarella mix you'd get the stretch with way better flavour
The ground beef sandwich would scare me too. I don’t really trust the grocery store bc of the quality issues. I would’ve gone to a local butcher.
I'm glad you saved this episode with that surprisingly good casserole.
My mother would change up her mac and cheese recipe every year for thanksgiving. She didn't use Velveeta but she would add cooked diced sausage or cooked ground beef. It was like a meal within a side. If the Velveeta was removed and substituted with grated sharp/medium cheddar cheese blend, I think it would be better. All that was done was shortening the step of making a roux by using Velveeta and heavy cream. But to each their own.
Raw ground beef/lamb is a huge favorite in Turkey (Çiğ köfte) and the Middle East (specifically Lebanon's kibbeh nayyeh), hopefully you'll try one of those one day! (Also, honorable mention to French steak tartar)
I understand your concerns regarding the raw beef with the US food standards. Here in Europe it is far more strict as Steven says and therefore quite normal. Some examples: steak tartare, americain (or Martino spread), carpaccio,...
Standards are pretty much the same. The EU had a huge horse meat scandal just 10 years ago though.
I'm not from Wisconsin but from a neighboring state (Michigan) and I had known about cannibal sandwiches for a while, but from my understanding it is mostly served on those small rye cocktail breads and is usually a holiday food? But someone from WI who has indulged can maybe correct me.
Uncle G's?! Are we neighbors?! Damn I never thought it was possible you'd be on LI.
Anyone who thinks Germans don't have a sense of humor have never seen a Mettegal. It is essentially ground beef and other accoutrement in the shape of a hedgehog.
At the beginning of the video after intro when you say “let’s get right into it” and then proceed with your sponsored ad. 😅
I'm glad the bf had some education about Mett, I live here in Germany now and was going to mention Mett
The first one looks like a deconstructed version of a Southern Brazilian dish from the city of Curitiba called Carne de Onça, it's very popular and delicious, and not that weird haha. You should look it up!
i love u including ur bf so much haha the way you guys bounce off each other and have completely different opinions is so funny
I am German and when you showed that ground beef concoction my first thought were also why would you do that until I realized that our Mettbrötchen is actually the same. The thing is I never thought of Matt as ground pork, any ground beef and Mett always were two different things for me and I wasn't really thinking about that I was eating raw meat until my 20s. I guess the food standards in Germany are way stricter than in the US. We usually have it on a slice of bread with raw onions and salt and pepper, which is really good. Probably a whole lot more enjoyable if you don't have to worry about the questionable food standards. hahah
The first recipe yeah it's a Wisconsin thing and the bar I go to it's sever with beer cheese soup and you smear a thin layer on the bread and it's not bad pretty good actually. It's just a way cheesier version of taco or fajita casserole.
Lol Omg I love the boyfriend…. He was like “ u gonna finish yours?” Totally unfazed 😂😂😂😂
In Syria, we have a dish which is a mix of ground beef, bulgur, olive oil, and some spices. We call it Raw Kebbeh.
It's really good especially with bread but we don't eat big quantities of it. Also, you gotta make sure the beef is kinda fresh. I don't find it weird to eat raw beef, but it's definitely concerning.
In Poland there is a dish called Tatar which is made from raw ground beef if that makes you feel better.
Hey David, for the ground meat you could buy a steak and grind some of the inner part that's not exposed that would probably be safer than buying a whole chunk ground because the outside is what's actually "dangerous" usually.
I love David 😂 do you ever stream in twitch or anything?
For the ground beef, in order to comply with FDA standards, I would’ve grabbed a whole cut of a cow you like (ribeye, strip, or tenderloin), trim the outside to reduce contamination, then grind yourself to to be much safer.
Yummy, and you get a nice souvenier onion raw-beef breath after the treat.
I like mett (german dish of raw pork put on bread) or tartar, but for it you usually take the high-end pieces that are carefully controlled, not regular ground beef from the store. + have to say, the cheese bothers a little
Do you still hate cream cheese ?
Mett is delicious. You have to come to germany and try the originally one. We never put cheese on Mett. Just raw onions or without up to you but no cheese. If you getting sick from your take on trying Mett than get some rest and drink warm tea. just that you get back on track without feeling sick. hope you´ll be healthy again and be able to do your awesome stuff. Credit to your boyfriend that he liked it ♥
um, even people who eat cannibal sandwiches say that you have to go to a butcher, choose the fresh cut of meat, and have it put through a CLEAN grinder
Store bought ground beef, which is multiple cows and put through a dirty grinder, is NOT safe to eat raw
Polish people have a food called Tatar which is basically ground RAW lean beef with RAW egg, grated onion. And some herbs. So yeah.. Europe does this.
The Velveeta casserole while employing a weird cooking method, is essentially a struggle meal we call Chili Mac (which is essentially the iconic Hamburger Helper before they ripped it off XD ) so I wasn't surprised it was good. I was surprised you didn't expect it XD
I would've made Steven gargle with a gallon of mouthwash afterwards, lol
8:49 that’s like a baked hamburger helper ✋✋
Being from Wisconsin I grew up eating raw beef lol and grew up around plenty of alcoholics haha the best part is for every church there’s 3 bars
David: Eats raw ground beef.
David, 5 minutes later: By the way, I don't have health insurance.
The other thing is, cannibal sandwiches are served on cocktail rye slices (3 inch diameter) as an appetizer, not a huge wide-pan slice of marble rye as the main meal.
There’s also raw meat sandwich stuff in my country (Netherlands) that’s widely popular and available, I’ve never had it myself cause my mom was always afraid I could get sick, but she would eat it herself almost daily. No one I know has eve gotten sick. It doesn’t appeal to me but 🤷🏾♀️I would never try it in the US though 😅
Always a delight to see a video of yours on my feed 👌🏾👌🏾
Do you know the name of the dish?
@@nyquilll3926 Filet American ironically is what the tartare is called
i swear steven just makes your videos 200% better i love him
also i've been watching your videos since your very first buzzfeed test. keep it up
4:46 He's eating it with such gusto 😂
Okay I'm from Wisconsin and had this man times. I've never seen cheese on it for the record. Also normally people either source from a high end butcher or hey suicidal ground meat at the store. It's normally only on special occasions like Christmas so stores have some specifically ground.
I haven't seen everything, but I have seen a man eat raw ground beef and not even flinch.
And from the supermarket!
Like most Germans, I love a good roll with minced pork and onions, pepper and salt. However, there are rules for consuming raw pork mince. It must be freshly minced and eaten within a few hours without breaking the cold chain. The French are well-known for consuming raw beef mince with their steak tartare, even enjoyed with a raw egg yolk. I am a big fan.
Hey, as a German I have to say Mett is the best, especially with onion
Confeit needs to be made with personally sourced beef so you know how it was raised. also most confeit has lots of fat for flavor
when i saw you putting together the raw beef sandwich i genuinely said out loud “DAVID THATS SO MUCH WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP” it was like watching my friends put too much of the last dab on a chip or something
I feel like Steven is a dog in human costume because of how exited he was to eat raw meat--
The pumpkin pie I actually came up with the recipe that is like half cake half pumpkin pie. Tony different you do is only add one cup of flour instead of eggs. And it will be basically very moist cake. I think she have to bake it like 15 minutes longer.
3:25 if they were going for a tar tar type dish then they really screwd up because tar tar is cooked with the acid from lemon juice or something and the meat has to be super thin
Eat medium rare burgers like its nothing and then almost throw up when eating a little raw ground beef on its own, classic american! Love ya David
