  1. Raw pork? Is it at least cured in vinegar or something to at least kill the cooties?

    1. ​@Tsumami__ No but we have good food regulation. You can eat it without issue.

    2. @Tsumami__no but we have food safety regulations unless „other“ countries.

    1. Tapeworm hasn’t entered the chat, though, because Germany cares about food safety standards.

  2. Everyone freaking out over the raw pork. Sorry you live in a country without stringent food safety laws.

  3. Everything else looked good, but that raw pork dish was questionable to me, but what do I know

  4. Everyone talking about the raw pork but completely looked over the fact that they eat or used to eat horse 💀

    1. Its very common in Rheinland. Had it a couple of times. It‘s all right but you can taste that horses are bot bred for flavour.

  5. Minced raw pork (Mett or Hackepeter) is delicious. Germany has very very strict food safety regulations so it‘s completely fine to eat. It my sound weird to people from other food cultures but I would totally recommend trying it when you have the chance. Its surprisingly light in flavour so it goes well wirh lots of butter, rhye bread and onions. It is very common in germany and I never heard of anyone getting sick off of it. The french have delicious raw meat dishes like beef tartar which Usually comes mixed with raw egg yolk.
