The fact that Germans have created a farming industry which can produce pork which is so consistently clean that they can make a raw pork dish is actually astounding. I have raised pigs and I love them. They are fun to raise, and they are good eating, but I would never eat them raw just based off ofold traditions here in the states. That being said if I were in Germany, I would definitely try this because holy cow does that look good and my wife who has lived in Germany would attest to this.
A type of sail. The metaphor implies that a person is acknowledging the way one conducts themselves as a well cut sail is either made by a skilled maker or used by a skilled sailor.
I grew up in a very conservative family in s very small town, so small we didn't have any fast food, let alone a McDonald's, and so conservative "freedom fries" were a very real thing.
The first time I went to a McDonald's in Germany rocked my fucking world.
I haven’t had a McRib in the U.S in awhile, but when I was a kid they seemed really good and the German ones seemed like that, flavorful but with slightly better quality of meat.
Yeah I remember them being really good when I was a kid but when they went away for good for a few years and then came back they have just tasted so bland and forgettable. Not sure if it was always that way and I’m misremembering or if they have gone so cheap with their ingredients it just got bad.
Could a dedicated BBQ joint do it better? Absolutely. Is it the best thing on the mickey d's menu? Absolutely, even if that's a low bar. It's like all other cheap (and I'm using that term liberally these days) garbage food, it's better as a rare treat than as a regular dish
Real talk, who gave McDs the permission to have a genuinely passable fish sandwich? It’s not winning any awards but I know it’s going taste fine and not give me the shits which I cannot always say about their burgers.
If you eat a ton of sugar it doesnt bother you. I cut out 99% and stuff like bad bbq sauce isnt enjoyable anymore.
Homemade bbq sauce is shockingly fast and easy to make tailored to one’s personal taste which makes the usual stuff you get just taste like corn syrup and liquid smoke.
And I think thats a totally fair take. I only like soft drinks when they're poured over ice wnd served at a hot baseball game in the summer. Cans and bottles just taste like syrup to me too. I'm in the "sweeter" BBQ camp though that's certainly subjective too
I believe the FDA has lowered the internal temperatures allowed for pork due to the increased quality. This happened fairly recently. Of course, this doesn't mean raw haha.
Yeah. I have noticed a few cooking shows saying as much and I want to believe the hype, but I’m also old enough to remember mad cow disease and that makes me a bit cautious. lol I know they aren’t the same as pig born diseases, but old habits die hard
The main reason for the original heating was the risk for Trichinosis, a worm parasite. Nowadays why it's safer is pigs are typically raised on concrete pens inside buildings so there's no dirt exposure for them to get the parasite in the first. In fact they often need iron supplements to compensate for the lack 'dirt eating' they might naturally do. So it's definitely safer...just in a bit sadder way.
Over 90% of cases of trichinosis in the US are from bear meat. Now think about the stark difference between the number of people who hunt and eat bear, vs the number of people who eat pork, it makes it pretty clear just how safe pork is these days.
Prions (the thing behind Mad Cow & Chronic Wasting) aren't really destroyed by heat. Or at least heat levels that would need to be reached would turn the meat into char. You need something like an autoclave or chemical treatment with sodium hypochloride or hydroxite to get rid of them.
Pork that is meant to be eaten raw is ground that day in German deli's, it's a special type of pork that is raised for this purpose, not just any pig. American pork would be just fine for this but because we have no desire for it, it's just not set up for it. For example I, in Germany, wouldn't get raw pork a day or two in advance. American pork raised in American stockyards are free from parasites but there is no market for raw pork.
Basically anywhere in Europe, if you buy raw meat you are going to be infinitely close to where the animal was raised than if you did the same thing in the US.
Also, older style grocery traditions are much more in trenched in Europe, buy a little at a time, fresh, and do it a few times a week from local sources.
This picture is literally basic ass bread, raw meat, and raw onions. I get youre trying to make a point but theres absolutely nothing about this incredibly bland low effort plate that says "holy cow that looks good."
Look, I was on board for most of what you said until the "holy that looks good" comment. There is zero chance this tastes like anything except raw meat, some onions and a little salt and pepper. It is not a "greater than the sum of its part" dish. It is not a delicacy. Its garbage.
I love that humans evolved to cook food so consistently we can't eat raw meat anymore, just so that we could invent meat that we could eat raw. If evolution was a person, it would be shouting at the screen for us to make up our damn minds.
Why the hell would you want to eat raw meat? The only possible reason I can think of for doing so, would be some fairly unlikely scenario involving a desert island and a lack of fire!
As a german: it is very good, but anybody not german that hasnt tried it usually assumes its awful. Its also not a big risk being raw since its either very fresh or with ALOT of preservation and has some ridiculous quality control in germany.
My ancestry is German. My grandfather and uncle used to eat these but they called them cannibal sandwiches. My grandfather also loved Limburger cheese.
Uhm I think your ancestors were selectively using the long pig breed here. While I am also of German decent I am glad none of mine lived too close to yours.
This is what I was thinking of when I saw it. I couldn't remember the name though. But I don't think I've seen it in more than 40 years. Nobody I know would even think of this anymore.
Try it on a slice of fried sourdough bread. Also, I don't know what exact recipe you are using, but add soy sauce, Worcester sauce, pepper and salt into sirloin. Your taste buds will explode.
Sounds right up our alley I’ll definitely try it out. I’ll use the common french recipe when more family is involved but my dad and i will just take the raw meat and slam it on a cracker with salt pepper and onion.
It's a common dish out here in the rural Midwest (I'm in Nebraska) especially with older generations. The most common ancestry out here is either German or Czech
It’s eaten raw, but before you get any health concerns it’s healthy regulated and not just regular the normal minced pork that is intended to be cooked.
My (100% German) grandmother in Wisconsin would literally serve this right out of the styrofoam container the beef came in. There were no illusions that this was in any way some sort of fancy beef that was somehow immune to bacteria and parasites.
I was super skeptical when I was offered it at one of my company's German offices during carnival, but I am very glad I tried it anyway. It was amazing. I don't think my digestive system was prepared though lol
I learned how to make dumplings from my grandmother. She always tasted the raw meat to make sure it was seasoned to her liking. Since she passed, I've started doing the same. Despite the initial mental aversion, I can attest it tastes just fine.
It had nothing to do with taste, good or bad food. The joke here is about quality controls and food safety. Food safety requires a lot of requirements, ccps, HACCP, risk assessments, cooking at a certain temperatures even one 1C down of that certain temperatures means poisoning people and killing people and for sure recalls which means million dollars of loss. So the joke is German engineers made such food safety systems that you can eat raw mince.
Yet, ( as a professional) I d suggest you never ever eat anything raw meat or chicken. Esp.mince or meatballs are very risky. All control points are to mitigate the risks so.they can never assure ( 100%) safe food. Just like technology driven, car manufacturers' recalls, so much robots and technology and still recalls.
Not eating raw pork is not a fool's errand. Its a common sense food safety practice. Even if its safer somewhere like Germany I have zero desire to eat that.
Mett is a German national treasure, and not all German pork is raw grade, it’s a completely separate supply chain. I absolutely recommend you eat some in Germany if you have the chance. It’s completely safe because it’s taken so seriously for this dedicated purpose. But literally nowhere else.
yeah well we had Mettbrötchen in germany for like the last 100 years or so, I don't know for sure. Probably longer. It just has to be good meat, fresh, always cooled (no break in the cooling chain), so all things everyone wants in his meat anyways, so what? As a hunter i make it from my game too. Meat is not poisonous while uncooked. You just gotty make sure to keep to the usual rules regarding cleanness and cooling.
Well, this is a Mettbrötchen - a breadroll with Mett, which is a German meat spread made from raw pork.
Because pork is famously not the safest meat to eat raw, it takes pretty strict food hygiene standards to be able to have Mett grade pork on the market.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
Honestly I don't see how this is much different than sushi or raw kibbi. Lots of cultures have figured out ways to make edible foods with raw meats. I like onions, bread, and meat, so I'd try it.
If you live near a reputable butcher and have them grind or mince the cuts fresh, this is actually quite delicious. As an American, I used to stick my nose up to things like this, but I’ve learned to travel and taste everything I can.
Served this in Europe with pickle on a fresh crusty bread. Found out later it was horse. Slightly sad about that, but it was delicious! Have since had this in numerous beef variations. Never once got sick.
Looks incredible, just cause we have terrible farming practices in the US so we can't actually eat raw beef doesn't mean that it's bad or stupid to. Small minded, small town meme
Actually we didn't. Mett eaten like in the picture became a thing the same year extensive meat health and safety laws went into affect in the German Empire and the police started to make inspections.
Im not sure about other comments, I would have swore this was raw beef and onions, my family has this every year at Christmas either on a piece of bread or crackers with salt and pepper.
Regarding the joke it could be making fun of Germans for thinking this is good food or it could be someone who is a big fan of it and thinks this is one of Germany's best contributions?
If this looks good to you just make Cretons. It's like the cooked and French version. My mom still makes it for me every Christmas- put some on toast with mustard or ketchup; or anything else you might like. Delicious!
In the Netherlands in 1998 I was served ",filet Americain" which turned out to be raw hamburger with spices, on some bread with raw onion just like that.
I was told, you can still get kinda sick from it because we're not used to the bacteria in the meat there. The bite or two I had tasted like liverwurst kinda.
Hallo, Peter von Griffenwald am Apperat. What you see here is a "Mettweck", a Roll typically garnished with raw pork meat, onions and Maggi. The joke here is that raw pork is dangerous to consume when not properly handelled, however the strict regulations around Mett make it perfectly safe to consume.
Ich muss nun zurück, Ko-habicht braucht mich.
Ages ago, a beautiful young lady from Germany would ply me with an illegal in the US substance, that if memory doesn't fail me, was called "smet." And it more glorious than this extremely rural lad could have imagined possible.
If your post isn’t a joke or doesn't need an explanation, it will be removed. Likewise, poor quality posts or comments will be removed. Rule 6.

They are also capable of having the McRib all year around
Never mind the kardashev scale for measuring civilization progress, but the Mett-McRib scale. I like the cut of your jib, shipmate.

Darn right I did
I was pathetically happy when I went to a Maccas in Germany and saw the McRib
Is it better then the us one? The current McRib is just so bland and flavorless
Everything in an overseas McDonald's is better than stateside.
Everything.
Especially the beer and wine.
I do miss seeing beer in the McDonald's, talk about a culture shock!
I grew up in a very conservative family in s very small town, so small we didn't have any fast food, let alone a McDonald's, and so conservative "freedom fries" were a very real thing.
The first time I went to a McDonald's in Germany rocked my fucking world.
That and the topless ladies sunbathing in public park
I haven’t had a McRib in the U.S in awhile, but when I was a kid they seemed really good and the German ones seemed like that, flavorful but with slightly better quality of meat.
Yeah I remember them being really good when I was a kid but when they went away for good for a few years and then came back they have just tasted so bland and forgettable. Not sure if it was always that way and I’m misremembering or if they have gone so cheap with their ingredients it just got bad.
Yes, becuase the food safety laws aren't up to highest bidder.
No idea, I've never had a US one. I'm from Australia.
McRibs suck anyway. Gross as riblet "meat¿" and the nastiest most sickeningly sweet high fructose "bbq" sauce blehh
Could a dedicated BBQ joint do it better? Absolutely. Is it the best thing on the mickey d's menu? Absolutely, even if that's a low bar. It's like all other cheap (and I'm using that term liberally these days) garbage food, it's better as a rare treat than as a regular dish
I just flat out disagree with you. I think the McRib is single handedly the grossest fast food sandwich there is.
It's definitely not the best thing on the McDonald's menu because that would be the filet-o-fish.
Real talk, who gave McDs the permission to have a genuinely passable fish sandwich? It’s not winning any awards but I know it’s going taste fine and not give me the shits which I cannot always say about their burgers.
Ooo....you got me there
I think you meant to say “Hot Mustard Sauce”. Because that is the only real answer.
If you eat a ton of sugar it doesnt bother you. I cut out 99% and stuff like bad bbq sauce isnt enjoyable anymore.
Homemade bbq sauce is shockingly fast and easy to make tailored to one’s personal taste which makes the usual stuff you get just taste like corn syrup and liquid smoke.
And I think thats a totally fair take. I only like soft drinks when they're poured over ice wnd served at a hot baseball game in the summer. Cans and bottles just taste like syrup to me too. I'm in the "sweeter" BBQ camp though that's certainly subjective too
"McGangbang" (McChicken patty inserted in the middle of a McDouble) is hands down the best thing that McDonalds is capable of besides the fries.
It is still McDonalds so it's "Pretty Good, I Guess" but it's magnitudes beyond the McRib.
Been about 20 years since I heard that sandwiches name in the wild.
Pleasure to meet ya friend 👨🌾
Does this also mean "available?" If so, I might travel sooner than I anticipated.
Yep, they have it all year around
you have peak Mcinterest
I believe the FDA has lowered the internal temperatures allowed for pork due to the increased quality. This happened fairly recently. Of course, this doesn't mean raw haha.

Prions can survive typical default autoclave cycles. Usually you need extended cycles and chemicals to get rid of them...
Sodium? Sounds delicious!
sadly no amount of heat will denature misfolded prions without turning the entire dish to ash
Haha same. I still only eat fully cooked pork.
Variant CJD (the human form of mad cow disease) only killed about 200 people globally and there hasn’t been a death from it in a decade.
I’m not down-playing the seriousness of it, but there are far more dangerous things out there. Like stepladders.

The average German is just buying their food from aldi. It's not that deep.
This means you are inside the animal? How does a tapeworm get access to an internet connected device?

Except it’s not that consistently clean.
How does that look good?? It’s raw meat and onion on bread
It's not just raw meat. This is Mett. If you had it once, there is no going back. This shit is pure bliss
'Holy Pig!'
it doesn’t look good at all
In what world does this look at all appetizing?
There hasn't been a case of trichinosis in the US in about 50 years and so standards on that are loosened in the US now too
I also lived in Germany and can confirm. It’s delicious.
*holy pig, it’s pork
This picture is literally basic ass bread, raw meat, and raw onions. I get youre trying to make a point but theres absolutely nothing about this incredibly bland low effort plate that says "holy cow that looks good."

You can eat raw pork in the states too. Freeze it solid first and then thaw. All the parasites will die.
I love that humans evolved to cook food so consistently we can't eat raw meat anymore, just so that we could invent meat that we could eat raw. If evolution was a person, it would be shouting at the screen for us to make up our damn minds.
That neither German nor pork. That is full on Midwest cannibal sandwiches.
Hard pass thank you.
Why the hell would you want to eat raw meat? The only possible reason I can think of for doing so, would be some fairly unlikely scenario involving a desert island and a lack of fire!

Its a common nickname for it in parts of the midwest. Proper ones of what you're talking about are called Donner Treats.
Perfect for my Donners Party's party
But these are basically hot dogs right?
Uncooked hot dogs. And s little coarser ground
You guys are from the midwest, aren't ya? Wisconsin maybe?
Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan.
We eat something similar based off steak tartare, we call it cannibal meat but it’s raw ground sirloin with onions on a saltine.
It's called 'tiger meat' in my area.
This is what I was thinking of when I saw it. I couldn't remember the name though. But I don't think I've seen it in more than 40 years. Nobody I know would even think of this anymore.

I'd eat it. I'm not German. I love steak tartare, so I don't understand why this would be weird.
Honestly I'd fucking love it with it with a dry spatlese to boot.
This stuff is so addictive on a fresh crusty bun with butter and snp 🤤
Unfortunately I've only had the pleasure of having it a few times in my life but I make due with fresh beef tartare from a local trusted butcher.
Mettbroetchen, I miss that so much living in America now
Idk it looks good to me. Although straight minced pork would be awful, I assume it's sausage mix or spiced in some other way.
Just salt and pepper. It is good though.
Nah it's plain. A little salt and pepper is all you need.
Good hangover cure
Is it me or does it actually sound delicious if you put these buns meat down on a pan and sear the pork+onion ?
It‘s very delicious if you eat it raw. No searing necessary.
Our family, most often toast bread and rub garlic on the toasted bread and then spread the meat on it. It’s DELICIOUS.
YES! I usually spend a minute rubbing the garlic on both sides and then enjoy the burn of garlicky goodness
Damn I could go for some Mett right now.
It’s eaten raw, but before you get any health concerns it’s healthy regulated and not just regular the normal minced pork that is intended to be cooked.
That's not the same thing
Sounds great, basically a pork smash burger with only one side cooked!
Wisconsin has something similar called a cannibal sandwich done with ground beef
My (100% German) grandmother in Wisconsin would literally serve this right out of the styrofoam container the beef came in. There were no illusions that this was in any way some sort of fancy beef that was somehow immune to bacteria and parasites.
In Wisconsin they call it the cannibal burger. They even called it that before Dahmer
As a descendent of Germans, they're horrifying in appearance, but delicious if prepared correctly
Are you really recommending eating your relatives? If they're like my relatives I wouldn't even eat them with green eggs and ham...
*Peak german food safety
It's only peak German engineering when they shape it like a hedgehog for some reason and use onion slices as the spikes

Raw pork and onions
It's pretty fucking good but it's quite unappealing until you have it

Ahh, the Wisconsin special.

I eat it since I was a child, that's about 30 years ago now. never ever had a problem with it.
"everyone" does, it's not even a special treat, it's something you buy for a regular breakfast at work.

Beef is the most common here. Go to an actual butcher shop and get freshly ground round. Have it as a New Year's treat. It's really good.

I had raw meat sausages in the netherlands once. A odd experience. Lots of reassurances about mad levels of food quality.
It looks disgusting, but it's delicious – it's German food
Is it seasoned or something? I mean I’m not against the idea but if it has no seasoning it doesn’t seem that fun to eat.
.mcRib Deutsche.
Growing up we had this but on 8 o’clock rye bread. So good
Peak German engineering would be the hedgehog version.
I went to Germany last week and had these. Loved them!
Honestly I don't see how this is much different than sushi or raw kibbi. Lots of cultures have figured out ways to make edible foods with raw meats. I like onions, bread, and meat, so I'd try it.
10 out of 10 wouldn’t eat no matter how many Germans say it’s great
Your loss
Sau lecker! Deutsches Eis
American here. Tried it during my trip and it was amazing
I really like this. At first, I was sceptic regarding the idea of eating raw meat. However, I really enjoyed this with onion and pepper. ❤
.... Annegret likes Mettbrötchen, without Brötchen
German efficient, to the point, nor frills engineering.
Also, nice Audi branding
If you live near a reputable butcher and have them grind or mince the cuts fresh, this is actually quite delicious. As an American, I used to stick my nose up to things like this, but I’ve learned to travel and taste everything I can.
Served this in Europe with pickle on a fresh crusty bread. Found out later it was horse. Slightly sad about that, but it was delicious! Have since had this in numerous beef variations. Never once got sick.
Looks incredible, just cause we have terrible farming practices in the US so we can't actually eat raw beef doesn't mean that it's bad or stupid to. Small minded, small town meme
German engineering is complicated. The food is not.
They ate this before food safety standards.
Actually we didn't. Mett eaten like in the picture became a thing the same year extensive meat health and safety laws went into affect in the German Empire and the police started to make inspections.
Can confirm, Mett is delicious. It's like steak tatare, but somehow better in IMHO.
These really should be made with raw bread dough just to be consistent.
Meatworst is my favorite food from there 2nd place is close (fish breadchin).
Grew up with this. Coarse pepper, onions in smaller chunks and mixed in.
Usually on club crackers for us kids.
Is it similar to beef tartare but with pork instead? Is the taste similar?
Raw pork, raw onions
My grandma gave me this in the US and it was amazing! You brought back wonderful memories!
Gimme gimme
Mett is amazing
I make these for my German American wife! It’s taste great and damn near impossible to find in the states.
Im not sure about other comments, I would have swore this was raw beef and onions, my family has this every year at Christmas either on a piece of bread or crackers with salt and pepper.
Regarding the joke it could be making fun of Germans for thinking this is good food or it could be someone who is a big fan of it and thinks this is one of Germany's best contributions?
Food so good you can eat it RAW
If this looks good to you just make Cretons. It's like the cooked and French version. My mom still makes it for me every Christmas- put some on toast with mustard or ketchup; or anything else you might like. Delicious!
Wisconsin’s best. The cannibal sandwich.
Unironically incredible
Porn safe enough to eat raw on a national scale? Astounding
I didn't know there arnt Mettbrötchen available outside of Germany.
I feel sorry for all you guys.
Tbh meat salad sandwich is good
In the Netherlands in 1998 I was served ",filet Americain" which turned out to be raw hamburger with spices, on some bread with raw onion just like that.
I was told, you can still get kinda sick from it because we're not used to the bacteria in the meat there. The bite or two I had tasted like liverwurst kinda.

The premium version of this is beef tartar. Raw beef with an egg yolk and spices.
Cannibal sandwich
Hallo, Peter von Griffenwald am Apperat. What you see here is a "Mettweck", a Roll typically garnished with raw pork meat, onions and Maggi. The joke here is that raw pork is dangerous to consume when not properly handelled, however the strict regulations around Mett make it perfectly safe to consume. Ich muss nun zurück, Ko-habicht braucht mich.
German pork is good you can eat it raw. Germany is why I miss medium rare porkchops.
Its mett and it tastes like heaven
Halb Mett....
I thought it was that they can engineer the most amazing machines but eat the most basic foods
Ages ago, a beautiful young lady from Germany would ply me with an illegal in the US substance, that if memory doesn't fail me, was called "smet." And it more glorious than this extremely rural lad could have imagined possible.
They talked me into it when I went. The flavor itself it was actually pretty good, but I couldn’t get past the texture or the fact it was raw
Couldn't you just flash freeze it like sushi?
So many of you never had a Mettigel and frankly it shows…
Yeah we got this shit in Wisconsin. Never ate it, never will
i miss mett

🤔
No way
Is it me or does this look tasty as hell.
They actually take care of their meat and properly regulate it so they can eat it raw.
The us should see what they did and try to emulate it. If you know what we feed our animals then you might be disgusted.
