I’m back to picking away at my 44 Classics… this time Tartare… Several years ago now, we were lucky to have the chance to spend a month in Paris. I ordered Boeuf Tartare no less six times And each time the seasonings and presentation were different… different but delicious… ….this, from a little bistro and the portions were monstrous.
