Tiger meat
Raw beef dish
Tiger meat is a raw beef dish. It consists of raw ground beef with onion and salt and pepper, often served with rye bread.[1] Some eat it like a dip with crackers.[2]
Tiger meat was first introduced in America by German immigrants.[3] It is similar to a German food called mett with minced raw pork or beef.[3] States with German and Russian influences like Minnesota, North Dakota, Kansas, and Texas often feature this dish.[2] It is also served in Wisconsin at holiday parties and other festive events.[1] People often eat tiger meat to preserve German traditions.[4] It is also known as "cannibal sandwich",[5] "wildcat",[2] "parisa",[2] and "raw beef and onions".[1] The origin of the name is not known.[2] In southern Brazil, this kind of meat is called 'carne de onça', meaning jaguar meat.
