206471 Sun Jan 04 15:14:06 -0800 2004 10 18 Manhattan 0 1100090 I have recently become a fan of the flavor and texture of raw meat. I've tried kitfo, carpacchio and of course raw fish, but I am curious to see what places are recommended for raw meat. I'm looking in particular for a Vietnamese place that serves nem chua (the raw pork), but any places that serve tartar are welcome. Sun Jan 04 15:14:06 -0800 2004 0 Talia 1 1100093 I too am a fan of raw meat dishes upon occasion. Most good Korean restaurants serve a raw meat dish. It is made with good quality chopped or diced beef that is ice cold. At the table they mix in an egg, some sweet and tangy sauces and finely sliced Asian pears. Tastes fantastic.

Both were prepared tableside and both were very good. Sun Jan 04 17:51:13 -0800 2004 1100093 0 Evan 2 1100116 that sounds great! do you remember what this korean dish is called?

Sun Jan 04 22:11:17 -0800 2004 1100090 0 dcdl 1 1100126 As I remember, there were some Vietnamese restaurants in the city that offered raw pork about 25 yrs ago. I don't recall if anyone became sick but the Health dept forced it off the menu. Apparently they were using US pork which is no good if uncooked. Apparently the pork in Vietnam is OK in the raw state due to what the pigs feed on and is common on the menus over there.
