I'm afraid I only want my steak tartare pretty well done, too. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Dave, I guess you'd like Parisa. When we were staying about 3 weeks in Medina, TX, I read a little of the history of the town and about how Parisa was a popular dish. So one night in a restaurant, I saw it listed with the appetizers and thought I'd try something new and ordered it. The waitress apologized, but said they were out of it. The next day, I saw it for sale in the meat counter of a local grocery store; looked like ground beef with cheese mixed in, so once again I thought I'd try it. I asked the cashier how to cook it and she looked at me like I was an idiot (probably right, too). You don't cook it; it's ground beef, american cheese, onion, serrano peppers, lime juice, salt and pepper, and served with beer (plenty of beer according to what I've read). I decided that I really didn't need to know what Parisa tasted like. [img]/forums/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]
