Weird to hear tartare described as "adventurous" food lol.

It's pretty standard in Europe. Like my dad made it a couple of times at home for us.

    My American brain is a little surprised it's cultural. Uncooked ground beef has a pretty unpleasant texture and smell on its own. I'm sure it's better when it's steak-burger, but not by much to me.

    Closest I've been able to do was seared A1 Wagyu steak. Which was great, but I still wouldn't really want to eat much more than a few bites in a sitting.

    But you're an adventurous eater?
    What do you eat/did try to call yourself that?

    Tartare is like really baseline of good kitchen, just like carpaccio

    Don't want to sound like a dick, but would be really interested in what other foods you're into, when you think, that's too much exotic

    Edit: to sound even less like a dick:
    My wife hates the texture and taste of meat in general. So I'm kinda asking out of real interest, because maybe there something for her, I don't know about

    It's fine if you don't consider me an adventurous eater, but I don't hate the taste and texture of meat. Raw red meat is just one of the things I avoid.

    If you ever be in Porto check out this restaurant

    I've had tartare in the suburb I live in here in Jersey, in Manhattan, in Montreal, France, Spain. I think it's fairly standard everywhere, although in the US it's probably limited to more upscale dining.

    That said, it's not my jam. But I'll probably keep trying it.
