My favorite restaurant throws a piece of fillet in the grinder and serves it up raw as tartare with a quail egg, capers, and diced red onions. Yum! Sure, if you don't mind taking the risk of getting sick... wild animals can handle it, not us... You're more likely to die skydiving than to get sick from eating raw beef. Steak tartar consumption has been studied in the Netherlands, where they found the rate of E. coli infection to be 82 per million person-years among raw beef eaters. In skydiving our fatality rate is 1 in 4000 participants or 250 per million. Food poisioning from raw shell fish is as likely as breaking a leg skiing.
