Don’t Eat This One Traditional Holiday Dish, Health Experts Warn
While most people associate the Christmas season with ham, Santa, and those classic M&M commercials, one state in America does things a little differently. For that reason, residents of Wisconsin are being urged by health officials to pass on a local festive favorite—the raw meat “cannibal sandwich.” For those who live outside the Badger State and are unfamiliar with this delicacy, it consists of raw ground beef on rye bread, with sliced onions, salt, and pepper. But it also poses a serious health risk.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) took to Twitter recently to remind people that this classic shouldn’t be on your Christmas table. Also known as tiger meat, according to Milwaukee Magazine, the cannibal sandwich tradition is believed to date back to the 19th century when it was imported by German and Polish immigrants (it’s a close cousin of steak tartare, which is still popular in mainland Europe and especially France).
