I love rare steak, but if the outside of it isn't cooked

it just bugs me. Raw chicken stinks, to my mind, I

can't see myself eating it. Raw fish is ok if it has

a good marindade ... it's better pickled though. Sashimi

is tasteless to me.

Given the way chickens are grown and processed, I don't

think I'd eat any raw unless it has a good acidic marinade.

And among the cultures that eat raw meat a lot, I haven't

seen raw chicken listed, there is probably a reason.

However, if you have a good colony of gut bacteria,

and a good acid stomach, I don't think it's easy to

get food poisoning of any kind. Problem is, most of us

don't know if ours is good or not.

I don't think I could eat raw chickens, it's a texture thing mostly. I have to

say that for two weeks before I started reading NT I was craving raw red meat,

and was finding myself " snitching " when I was making dinner. Felt embarrassed,

like a small child snitching cookie dough, but now I think that my body knew

what I needed and feel ok following that.

We used to make Steak Tartar in French class in high school, so I had it before,

but not for a while. Now I am going to make it more often. (once I convince

everyone else in the family).

Hi Garrett,

Eating raw red meat and seafood is easy and delicious. There are a

number of recipes in NT and floating around the the internet on how to

do it. I like them all - steak tartar, tune tartar, lamb kibbeh, ceviche,

oysters on the half shell, lamb, beef or tuna carpaccio, etc.,

especially with some tasty sauces but even plain with a little olive oil

and salt.

The only way I can eat chicken raw is to cut it up into small pieces and

then marinate in lemon or lime juice for 36 hours. Then it is quite

tasty eaten with a little oil and salt or made into a chicken salad with

some homemade raw mayo.

Cannot bring half such mischief on the land

Or be the cause of so much harm and grief,

He only earns the title of a thief. "

My favorite food to eat raw is grass-fed buffalo swiss steak. I

stopped eating it when Bread and Circus stopped using the " 100% grass

fed " sign on that cut. I'd often marinate it in raw honey or raw

cream cheese, and salt it. Eating it a few times a week cured me of

horrible immune system problems that had plagued me since I got two

root canals, and allowed me to go a few days in a row without eating

enormous amounts of coconut oil and not come down with conjuctivitis

or some other problem. Later I switched to eating raw buffalo heart

and liver.

The idea of raw chicken has always kind of grossed me out. I've

eaten raw chicken *liver* though. I don't like it very much and

don't feel it gives me the same benefit as buffalo liver. However, I

once had a chicken liver from a pastured chicken from a local farm,

whose owner is one of the main NOFA gals, and the liver was delicious

raw, so that I think " normal " people might even like it... so I think

it depends on quality of soil and food.

I forgot to mention during the Lox discussion that

beef seems to make something like Lox if you leave it

covered with salt (or salt/sugar, or honey, I'd imagine).

It gets more " solid " and slightly salty tasting, which

would be more appetizing to a lot of folks.
