I do enjoy a nice carpaccio, but I think I might be uncomfortable with raw ground beef, given how many times/ways it's handled today.

Back in the day, the stores would have a big sale on an entire shell of beef a couple of times a year. I would buy the whole shell, have the steaks cut to my liking, and have them cut off the "tail". I would take it home and grind the tail myself and eat that raw with a little onion salt. Delicious!
