Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!

    Eh, disgusting is subjective, but there’s never only one person with a given opinion, particularly when it comes to food.

    Uncooked meat can actually be delicious though, so it’s kind of a double subjective lol.

    While it isn’t anything I have regularly, I tend to favor some steal cuts “blue”, which is essentially uncooked at all in the middle. Steak tartare is uncooked. Sashimi exists, and is amazing. Then there’s stuff like ceviche that’s not truly raw, but isn’t cooked with heat.

    The list of raw meat foods could keep going, it’s not an uncommon thing.

    Beyond that, you can’t really go by photographs for whether or not something actually matches visually. Raw meat and cured meats often do look similar in color, but not in texture. Not that color really matches, but it’s usually close enough to fool the eye depending on lighting and the film/sensor.

    Again though, whether or not a pile of raw meat would be disgusting is indeed something that you’ll find plenty of people on either side of. And you’d likely find people that see this picture and think it looks raw, at least at first glance (it really doesn’t once you pay attention to the variations in color across the slices).
