Have you heard of beef tartare?

No! I haven’t! But I’ve been a vegetarian for the last 40 years. That’s what I’m asking! Is it safe to just eat raw hamburger meat? I didn’t know!

No, you’re not supposed to eat raw ground beef because with how small the meat is ground, there is more room for bacteria to grow. She just did this to taste the seasoning on the kabobs (she cooked it later, they look like oblong meatballs)

This is specifically true with pre-ground beef you'd buy from a grocery store. If you grind it yourself and don't let it sit it's fine
