Aside from sashimi and tuna tartar, what are some of the other raw formats you enjoy? They say steak tartare (raw beef) is no longer safe but I'm not sure that post processed foods are that "natural". As for vegans and their raw food movement, well how creative is that.?

Best RAW I ever had was sliced off the side off a newly caught Hawaiian tuna with a machete by a charter boat captain.

I like a mixture of Raw and some pre-processed items. But, what's the purpose of buying Raw if you're not going to process it yourself? I used to prefer to process most of my "non-garden" variety Raw products in a light to medium manner. Just enough to add a little texture, color, warmth and dramatic appeal for the consumer. I have always felt that using Raw straight out of the package is far too risky for me. It's usually bland, un-appealing, and possibly even hazardous. And, don't get me started on over-processed. If that's your taste, you might as well visit McDonald's.

if you are like me you are stuck with what the camera maker gives you. I shoot sony and pentax so I am limited to " dng" and "arw". i'm not much for shushi but now and then I like a piece of raw beef.

I think steak tartar is OK if it is actually ground off a steak you buy and grind yourself. I'm not about to take a chance, though.

I prefer my food cooked.

What's RAW for if you don't spice it up!

I prefer post processed foods. The only raw I enjoy comes from my cameras.
