Residents in the upper U.S. Midwest should ditch their seasonal tradition of eating "cannibal sandwiches" made of raw ground beef, health officials warned, citing multiple outbreaks of foodborne illnesses since the 1970s and cases last year.
Gobbling up raw ground beef spread on sandwich bread or crackers with onions and other seasoning led to more than 50 cases of foodborne illness in 1972, 1978 and 1994 in Wisconsin, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wrote in a report released this week.

This upper midwest resident hasn’t heard of this tradition.
I don’t eat that kind of sandwich.... I just eat lean freshly ground beef right out of the package...
Don't be a cannibal!! Don't eat beef!
And vote Democrat, you sheeple!
Uhhh ... isn’t it better for you to cook the meat first?
If you never had a boiled cow tongue sandwich, sliced on rye bread with pickles and mustard, you don’t know what you’re missing. Yum yum.
Raw beef? Disgusting! I have to eat something to get even the thought of that taste out of my mouth.
(Pass me some sushi, please...)
I love raw beef.
ya know the French call it steak tartar. I just call it raw chopmeat.
I have had pickled cow tongue when I was a lad and I did not care for that so much.
“Residents in the upper U.S. Midwest should ditch their seasonal tradition of eating “cannibal sandwiches” made of raw ground beef, health officials warned, citing multiple outbreaks of foodborne illnesses since the 1970s and cases last year.”
Even cannibals cook their food.
My Polish granpap and his brother used to eat that. I remember my sisters and I snagging bits of the hamburger mixture out of the ice box. I wouldn’t think of it now!
OK, I’ll admit I’m from the upper mid west and I’ve had one more than once. It’s all in the mix.
Hm, might account for why I like my steaks and burgers rare.
“I had some of that sushi the other night...took it home, warmed it up - tasted just like fish!”
Desperately Seeking Susan.
Apparently there are 50 people who practice this tradition, and they only get sick every 6 to 14 years.
Now they have been exposed, there will probably be 50,000 sick in a few years, just on dare alone.
If the Sheeple eat Sheep, does that make them Cannibals?
It is a shame that food irradiation has not caught on because raw beef would be perfectly safe after being zapped with a two thousand Rads of gamma radiation.
Sounds like something you would order at In & Out Burger from the secret Menu.
Animal Style, Cannibal Style, same thing.
That is not bad odds.
Afternoon. Yup, that was a mandatory menu item in and around Pittsburgh when the mills were running! My dad and gramma often ate them and made them for me.
Big slice of onion n top too.
All things being equal, I now prefer my tuna & salmon raw rather than cooked.
