Cannibal sandwiches — made with raw beef, chopped onion and a sprinkle of salt and pepper — are a dish going back generations in Milwaukee. And it may be making a comeback, some chefs say. (WPR)
Dr. Zorba Paster — a longtime cannibal sandwich fan and— said that while there will always be a risk with eating cannibal sandwiches, there are steps you can take to lower it.
Paster said aim for the leanest cut of beef you can get, let your butcher know you’re using the meat for cannibal sandwiches and ask for it to be freshly ground with a clean grinder.So, where did cannibal sandwiches come from? The snack's history in Wisconsin is a little murky, but Carlisle said its story is likely one of practicality and tradition, going back to the northern Europeans who settled in the state.
"A lot of the ways people prepared things and did things were lost for so many years, and everybody wants to blame it on the millennials, but it was long before that where it died off," Zupan said.Though Carlisle and Zupan say tastes are changing – and they're seeing signs of a cannibal sandwich comeback.
"I’m very proud of our area," Carlisle said."All these items that we grew up with as staples ... have borderline disappeared. And now to have this come back, or at least to the people that are reinforcing and holding onto it, to me it means a lot."
