Fond Food Memories: Tiger Meat
May 24, 2009
Growing up in South Dakota farm country, I was raised on plain old meat and potatoes. One popular delicacy in that area at the time, was “tiger meat.” Don’t think of the orange and black striped animal. The “tiger meat” I am talking about comes from a cow. It is basically raw ground beef and seasonings. Some recipes also call for raw eggs. I look back at this, and some other things I ate growing up, and wonder how it was that I DID NOT ever get e.coli, or salmonella poisoning. I would never eat this now! Tiger meat used to be available in the meat departments at local grocery stores. Alas, that is no longer the case.
There are different recipes for Tiger Meat, using different seasonings. This one has more kick than some of the others.
TIGER MEAT
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 small onion diced
2tsp Tabasco sauce
2tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
3tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 8 hours. Spread on crackers. Awesome! Do not eat after 2 days.
Sounds tasty, doesn’t it?
