Eating raw meat- Bad for you?
Discussion
I'm working on essay on the cult of Dionysus. There's a theory that part of the ritual involved eating raw meat, probably goat.
This ritual would probably have taken place once a year, possibly once every 2 years. I'm just wondering if eating raw meat would make one ill? Or would it be okay if it was only once a year or so and only a little bit was eaten?

Have you never eaten raw beef? Tartare or carpaccio or even just a bit of steak or roast beef properly cooked?
I've eaten steak and roast beef when they're still a bit pink inside. Guess I never really thought of that as raw since it's A) warm and B) the outside is cooked.Anyway, thanks for the replies boys and girls, no ill effects from eating raw goats it is!
Now how difficult would be for a few women to tear apart a live goat?
The problem with raw meat is bacteria. Keep it in the right conditions and eat straight away (maybe not with white meats!!) and I'm not to worried. Leave it out for quite a while at room temperature and I'd be getting very worried.
I won't eat a steak if it's gone anywhere past very rare and haven't been ill from one yet.

What do you think prehistoric man had been doing for years and years! Didn't seem to do them much harm. This ritual would probably have taken place once a year, possibly once every 2 years.
