do you want to know what is sick and disgusting? anything that precedes the word "tartare." don't confuse this with the tasty "tartar" sauce, which is a thick white sauce made from mayonnaise and finely chopped pickled cucumber, capers, onions (or chives), and fresh parsley. thanks wikipedia!
tartare means a preparation of finely chopped raw meat or fish optionally with seasonings and sauces. typically, a tartare is served as a spread for toast. the name is popularly derived from the tatars. The dish is very popular in poland. HA!
last week adymm took me to this fancy french restaurant to celebrate our 29 monthaverski and for an appetizer i ordered the venison tartare not knowing that tartare means RAW MEAT. i am not french and i dropped out of french class in grade nine at my earliest possible opportunity. the idea that it could be raw never even crossed my mind. i mean, what kind of place would serve a gross concoction of raw meat in a weird gelatinous bubble shape? i tried it and adymm spat his out in the napkin. can you even call cloth napkins napkins or would they be serviettes? i will look into that another day.
take a big bite!
