Meat, onions, potatoes, heart, lung, all finely diced and fried, mixed with pearl barley and made into a hash. This is a traditional dish which was designed to nourish those who were working outdoors in northern weather and needed all the fat they could get as protection.
Beef tartar. This is made from very finely chopped raw fillet of beef mixed with onion, gherkins (US: dill pickles) and capers and formed into the shape of a steak. A depression is made in the top into which a raw egg is broken. It is eaten raw. The meat really should not be minced (US: ground). It is thought to have originated with the fierce Tartars of the Baltic region of Russia who shredded the meat with a knife and ate it raw.
