It seems that the trend of eating raw meat is on the rise with influencers like Liver King - aka Brian Johnson, aka a very muscly man from Texas - who happily lives off a diet of animal organs.
However, the NHS has encouraged people to not eat raw meat.

It said: "It's important to prepare and cook food safely. Cooking meat properly ensures that harmful bacteria on the meat are killed.
"If meat is not cooked all the way through, these bacteria may cause food poisoning.
"Bacteria and viruses can be found all the way through poultry and certain meat products (such as burgers). This means you need to cook poultry and these sorts of meat products all the way through.
"When meat is cooked all the way through, its juices run clear and there is no pink or red meat left inside."
Meats and meat products that you should cook all the way through are:
- poultry and game, such as chicken, turkey, duck and goose, including liver
- pork
- offal, including liver
- burgers and sausages
- kebabs
- rolled joints of meat
It added: "You can eat whole cuts of beef or lamb when they are pink inside – or "rare" – as long as they are cooked on the outside."
