I’ve probably had raw everything at one point or another. But I was surprised to find a sliced raw beef dish alongside everything else here in a Korean buffet, and I thought it was for cooked bibimbap, but nope. I saw a couple guys grab scoops of it, dip it in sauce and eat it so I did too. And it was quite good!
Ha, that’s amazing! thank you, I’ll keep hackepeter in mind.
Did you end up trying it?
Yes it came with brown bead, a raw egg, and some veggies (which I assume were garnish because they were cut into flowers to match the hedgehog I guess). Like most German food it was pretty low on the spice. I got to really get a good taste for the meat and it wasn’t too fragrant nor was it slimy for being raw. The bread a beer paired nicely with the raw pork, 8/10.
Great description, thanks.
a raw egg? Were you supposed to crack it over the top?
I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of US meat is in the process of turning by the time it gets to the supermarket, because whenever I’ve had a raw meat dish in other countries, or even just buy fresh meat, it’s not slimy and the smell is not very strong versus what I’m used to getting in supermarkets in the US, which seems to have a shelf life of maybe a day after it’s opened.
Or maybe I’ve had so much more experience buying groceries in the US that I’ve had more bad experiences overall.
Naw the raw egg was on the side, like some kind of raw deconstructed meatloaf. I guess one is supposed to dip it? US food requirements could explain the issue, it sounds like Germany has really strict regulations for Mett and Hekapeter.
wow, thanks, that really is interesting. I’m making a note now to look up more about that dish later.
