Wow. Our buddy Perez Hilton has opened my eyes to a new phenomenon that leaves me asking, What is this world coming to?

Apparently, you can now purchase raw steaks and beef from your local Minimart in Birmingham, Alabama.

Right next to the cigarettes, Funyuns and toilet paper.

There is something strange about this to me. I don’t know why it’s such a shock, but I just can’t imagine my hubby saying, “Hey honey, I stopped for gas and got us some ribeyes for dinner!”

What do you think about this concept? Will it grow on us just like everything else we’ve become accustomed to? Or is this doomed to failure?

This French Bistro classic is a polarizing dish.

You either love it or, well, you don’t.

The ingredients must be fresh and your palate must be refined.

With its raw lean steak and raw egg, it’s a relatively easy meal to make. Getting the whole family to enjoy it may be another story.

Kudos if you’re up for anything. This might just be what you’re looking for tonight!

It’s a new year, so you need a new wall calendar, right?

Believe it or not, there exists the PERFECT wall calendar for fans of meat — just like you and me.

Just look at what you get to stare at for the entire month of February . . .

Yes, ladies and gents, it’s steak. Raw steak.

I prefer to stare at beautifully COOKED steak myself, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

Get one for yourself. Go on, you deserve it! Click here.
