I can relate. I had an amazing steak tartare in Gotenburg on a trip 2 years ago and still think about it frequently!

The beef carpaccio I had in Vanuatu 18 years ago.

Same vibes!

I think part of it was that it was the first time I'd eaten raw beef.

They don't want you to know this, but you can have steak tartare any day. Just don't cook it.
