Title: The Alien Mind....
Post by: TylerDurden on July 14, 2017, 01:15:09 am
Something happened to me today that reminded me of Philip K Dick's short story, "The Alien Mind". One of the great things about Central Europe is that, while there are no sashimi restaurants like in Central London, most decent restaurants have either (raw) beef-tartare/steak-tartare or (raw) beef carpaccio on their menus. Well, today, I visited a restaurant with an acquaintance and ordered the beef tartare. The waiter explained to me that the beef-tartare was unavailable because of the current heatwave. Naturally, with me being a solid rawpalaeo and having  eaten plenty of aged, stinky  raw meats with great pleasure in the past, this did not compute  and the waiter had to repeat his explanation twice further before I gave up.I considered trying to tell the waiter that I did not care about the meat being heated by the sun as I am a rawpalaeodieter with a fondness for aged, raw meats but I realised that this would just cause further trouble.Well, this just illustrates how completely differently-minded  we RPDers are from everybody else. I fear that I will be forced to eat raw salads instead whenever I go to a restaurant for the rest of the summer.

You eat meat from badly fed animals?

Well, the restaurants in question generally use "organic" beef for making their beef-tartare, as the idea is that if the meat is of much higher quality than usual, then the much-feared "food-poisoning" is  much less likely. Usually this meat comes from Styria which has a much better reputation as regards feeding their animals on more natural diets. Austria, also is less known for intensive grainfeeding, with much of the meat coming from small-time Austrian peasant-farmers.

Ah, you're lucky to find such good meat in a restaurant! :)

I haven't eaten in a restaurant in years. I think the last time was a salad at jack in the box.
