Every region has its own regional delicacies – food that makes sense there, but might be a bit more confusing out of it. Take, for example, sweet potato casserole with marshmallows – a common dish at Thanksgiving in many parts of the US.
Here’s another – raw meat sandwiches. Yes, actual raw meat sandwiches, which nobody in their right mind should be eating.
It all started when a Facebook post from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services reminded people in the state not to partake in the ‘holiday tradition’ of raw meat sandwiches.
The Facebook post said that these sandwiches are called “tiger meat” or “cannibal” sandwiches and that many Wisconsin families consider them to be a holiday tradition. The Department had to remind people that eating raw meat can lead to salmonella and E Coli – and that ground beef should always be cooked.
