During the holiday season, there are many unique holiday dishes that are steeped in tradition. None is more unsafe than the dish �tiger meat,� or �cannibal sandwich.� This dish, popular in the Midwest at Christmas and New Year�s Eve parties, is a mixture of raw ground beef and raw eggs seasoned with spices and onions. The �tiger meat� presentation of this dish is served alongside crackers while the �cannibal sandwich� is served on rye bread. No matter the way it is served, �tiger meat� should not be on the menu this holiday season. Eating raw or undercooked ground beef and eggs poses a health risk to healthy individuals and an even greater health risk for individuals with reduced immune systems.
