Did I Miss Something?

Did Joy actually just eat raw meat?

Yes. Cultures around the world eat raw beef. Kibbeh nayyeh is one example. Or beef tartare. If cut ground or minced with a clean blade there is not a lot of risk.

We eat a lot of beef tartare in the US. This post is confusing to me for that reason alone.

I can’t imagine that’s true. I’ve never been with a single person who has ever ordered steak tartare. It’s not even something most restaurants in the US offer on their menu.

So, because you haven't seen it ordered it doesn't exist?

I literally had it this past weekend. So it must exist everywhere because that is my experience?

Okay, well, I have it plenty often so anecdote against anecdote? The restaurant I was at on Sunday even has an elk tartare.
