I'll narrow it down....it's a food. I could really go for some right now.

Take one pound of the leanest ground beef….

Mix in one half pound of finely cubed cheddar cheese.

One medium sized onion, finely chopped.

Add salt, pepper, and plenty of garlic.

I do not measure the seasonings, but you can spice it to your own taste..

Another local wrinkle is to blend in some finely chopped jalepeno pepper. If you like it a little hot. Now there’s a blending of cultures.

Now there are a lot of folks who squeeze lemon juice over the completed parisa to in effect “cook” it with the citric acid. Either way it is fantastic served on crackers of most any sort, especially saltines.

it's best served with lime! good stuff, if you can get past what you're eating, some people can't.

I would NEVER eat raw grounf beef. Too risky.

Wombat, it's really good. If you can eat sushi and ceviche, you can handle parisa. I've eaten it since I was a kid and I've NEVER gotten sick. The secret is to use LEAN meat...if there's too much fat, it's gross.

CT - sushi and ceviche are unlikely to harbor e. coli. To me it isn't about the fact that it's nasty... it's that it's raw beef, which does harbor e. coli. E. Coli is bad, nasty stuff and I don't want to take chances with it. Salmonella can make you really sick... e. coli can kill you. Salmonella probably could, too but you'd have to have a weakend immune system, I imagine.

Grind it yourself then.

Lime juice....the acidity kills the E. Coli.

add an "s" and it's bikini waxer. no thanks.

I am impressed with Hank's cooking skills.

ground beef is one of the most handled and most processed meat "cut" and I would never EVER eat it raw. no way Jose. I hardly feed raw meat to my dogs let alone a human.

I wouldn't touch it either. I get naucious looking at or smelling raw meat.

I have no idea what I will ever do to cook if I ever have a family. Hopefully I could get over it.....

josie, it's okay if you cook it thoroughly.

I guess you won't be interested in the raw tube steak then..

I use it to wax myself

Eating raw ground beef is simply foolish.

It is not the same as eating a "rare" steak, nor is it even comparable to eating sushi. The odds of consuming harmful, or even deadly, bacteria are much greater with uncooked ground beef.

Yup. I read a little book about what happens when you eat ground beef with e. coli that hasn't been cooked thoroughly. I'll never eat a burger in any state other than well done again. I like my steak medium-rare, too so it's a bit of a sacrifice.

Read Robin Cook's Toxin if you are wondering...

Do you think about food 24/7? Damn!
