(Redirected from Cannibal sandwich)

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.

Public health concern[edit]

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has urged against consuming tiger meat for risk of contracting E. coli and Salmonella.[6] The United States Department of Agriculture suggests cooking the ground beef used in tiger meat to 160°F to eliminate the possibility of foodborne illness.[7]
