In Wisconsin during my college days there was a bar that gave away a free
"Cannibal Sandwich" every Saturday morning if you bought a Bloody Mary. Raw
ground beef on rye, topped with a raw egg, onions and capers.

Now, the health department would probably shut him down.

If all the things that they say are bad for us were REALLY bad for us, we
would have been dead long ago.

Today I am thawing out a 5 pound chub of 80/20 ground chuck and I'll make
meatloaf for tonight and meatballs for the freezer. As I have done all my
life, I'll taste some of the raw mixtures before cooking. If it kills me,
it will be the first time.
