I just started reading a book about Attila the Hun, and the Huns, and it
tells an interesting tale about the possible origins of Steak Tartare.
I have to say that it made me wonder how anyone can eat it. According to
the book, the Huns used to lay chunks of meat under their saddles,
partly to cushion the horse's back. It picked up a lot of salt from the
horse sweat. Eventually they would eat it.
I may never again eat steak Tartare.
