Works for me, I love Tabasco.

More of a sriracha man myself, loved Thailand 
In my experience, Pacific salmon tastes better.
We buy wild salmon, from Grand Frais when available. Tastes intense and looks different
Much more €€€ than other salmon choices.

I’m afraid salmon is going the way of chicken. Once a treat, and respected and paid for as such, it’s now an everyday food.
I also carry a small bottle of shiracha, but a blend with added Wasabi, with me wherever I go, but as a back up, Tabasco too. Shiracha on Tartare de Bœuf is not quite right, but Tabasco is the stuff.
The irony perhaps is that things are coming full circle as it used to be the food of the poor - so much so that (legend has it) masters were prohibited from feeding it to their apprentices more than three times a week.
Had that on last holiday a five weeks back, suspect the raw egg gave me and friend salmonella so thats going to be off the menu in france now.
rightly or wrongly… I omit “raw egg” from anything/everything…
The humble scrambled egg. 
After the UK and Eggwina saga, glad to say things are much improved. I make my own mayonaise using raw egg, max storage in the fridge 5 days. Never been ill with that. I was surprised and tbh a little dissapointed that we had got ill in France. Always seen french eggs as better but clearly not the case.
Actually could equally be the beef that had not been handled or stored properly.
Yes agreed, if the beef had been prepared days earlier who knows. Shall not be returning to said restaurant.
happened to us, years and years ago… we’d eaten something “bad”
who knows what/where … just during that day…
and I spent our overnight-stop trying to figure out how to report the next morning… “my husband is dead”… in french
easy to laugh now but at the time it was really scary…
So many times! Usually when travelling which is obvious I guess as not in your own kitchen with your own germs, and one tends to eat odd things out of curiosity. And so many horror stories, so a bit more cautious now especially before a long journey.
I’ve had tartare once in my life and I had the Eurostar journey from hell the next day

Can’t say I’ve ever been tempted - it always seemed like it was just asking for trouble

I use the Bell method.
I tinkle a small silver bell and Jeeves arrives with the scrambled eggs on sourdough toast, topped with smoked salmon. And a glass of Krug of course (In my dreams).

I ate tartare once, in a restaurant where we knew slightly the proprietor (dog) and his wife (cheffe). Lunch was always 3 courses, with two choices each course. Tartare was one of the main courses.
It seemed to me that those odds were as good as I’d ever get, so I tried it.
No ill-effects at all, but no desire to have it again either.
Ditto rare or blue steak
