I love to eat raw fish sashimi at Japanese restaurants. But I was watching a Chinese travel show last night and they introduced raw horse sashimi (basashi) and even raw chicken sashimi! Is it even safe to eat those kinds of red meat raw? Has anyone ate them before? If so, what did it taste like and what was the texture like? I personally want to try basashi just once. I think fugu is the only thing I won't try.

Beef is safe? Didn't it have salmonella?

[AngelAngel]

If they kill the chicken there and handle it very well than I think it's okay? I haven't tried it or anything but Anthony Bourdain ate chicken tataki (which is basically raw chicken quickly seared on the outside) at this really well known yakitori place. They haven't been sued yet so I'm sure it's fine XD!

I think it can be safe. I haven't eaten it, but I've heard of raw beef being eaten.

My favourite is salmon sashimi. I also love raw scallops, but I wouldn't eat horse. Chicken... maybe haha.

Beef is safe to eat raw if it's fresh and clean.
I've seen someone eat it straight up raw with a raw egg on top at a Korean restaurant.
But personally, I wouldn't eat red meat sashimi..
Rare steak I can handle but if it's in the form of sashimi, no..

[bystander]

I don't have the desire to try those types of [truly] raw meat, especially chicken.
Fish sashimi only.

Fugu is pufferfish and is poisonous. You should only eat fugu from a licensed chef who knows how to prepare it correctly to remove the poison. I think I also read that you can only eat fugu by reserving it from the restaurant chef beforehand.

Wow, Japan even has raw whale sashimi...

[garfieLd-]

mmmh reminds me of yukke

[Masaya]

Don't assume that whatever was prepared or made to food is safe to eat.

[SYNsaish]

I thought eating raw chicken and pork was really bad...>.<

[little mixed girl]

you can get anything raw in japan.
i've had basashi before. i don't remember what it tastes like because i ate it with a lot of ginger and beer.

but yea, there's raw beef, raw pork, raw chicken, raw horse, raw whale, raw fish, etc etc etc.

i...personally don't think they are safe to eat, but many japanese ppl eat them with no problem.

[xkrndreamer]

of course
i prefer it more than sushi rolls

[hungrycollegeboy]

Beef is safe to eat raw. It's just white meat like pork and chicken which can give nasty results if you eat them raw.

raw beef is really good.
o_o;

[tinatran_]

raw beef is actually good! i wouldn't mind trying raw chicken, if it was prepared properly.

[eternaldarkness4]

i haventreally tried any cept for the seafood ones

but i'm pretty sure white meat is fine if its EXTREMELY fresh and handled well

heaps of people eat raw beef
not uch different to rare steak cept its not seared

not that i like it <.<

[myluckyself]

chicken and pork you can't eat raw... beef you can (like, rare) but I'm not a fan of it (bleugh)

I like fish sashimi though. =]

[Regina Rae]
