'Cannibal sandwiches' sicken residents in Midwest

[xmas74]

8. I haven't heard of a cannibal sandwich in years.

My dad used to eat them every year around the holidays. I've never heard of anyone eating them outside of Wisconsin.

It used to be the bar owner would go to the local butcher and tell them they were making cannibal sandwiches. The butcher would give them good quality meat and the bar owner would often come back with a free sandwich for the butcher. (I'm telling you-it was considered a delicacy when I was growing up.) Nowadays, it's getting harder and harder to find a butcher and more bars are owned by corporations or the owners are offsite. So, instead of the owner who grew up with the sandwich and knew exactly what it should look and taste like, you have people who've never been around them following a recipe probably found somewhere online and buying the cheapest cuts of meat possibly at a Supercenter or through Sysco.

It's a recipe for disaster.
