Surviving in the wild.	Posted on 25/05/2014	by Lodie Recently I said to the oncologist I wonder whose victim I would be: Would I die of cancer or would I starve to death?
As you perhaps know during chemo one struggles to eat and in many cases the smell of meat being prepared is the worst smell imaginable.
That happened to me as well. I couldn’t stand the smell or taste of meat. The result was my body started using up all my reserves and I lost 25kg in weight.
The Germans love to eat raw mince, tartar. My body started begging for mince. Friends invited me over. I accepted the invitation but told them I would bring my own food. At table I unpacked my meal: 250g beef mince, raw onion cut in fine slices, salt, pepper.
For the first time in fourteen months I managed to gorge myself on meat.
Last week I was in hospital for six days. The food of the Wilgers hospital was excellent. One day at lunch I asked them whether I could have my own food. As I prepared my food the staff couldn’t believe their eyes.
Thanks Andrew and Suzanne. The mince was excellent.
If you have the courage try this and please send me a picture of you eating the raw mince.
Perhaps one day we will have a National Raw Mince Day🙂

Die kospakkie sal eenvoudig moet wees. Een broodrolletjie en 250g maalvleis. Ek het nou soveel heerlike voorstelle gekry dat dit nog lekkerder gaan word.

My vrou stelvoor dat jy eiers, fyn biltong en neute ook probeer. Sterkte, ons hou duime vir jou!

Ek probeer alles maar rou eiers, daar het ek nog ‘n brug wat ek moet oorsteek.

It is the best and absolutely delicious. You can try combinations including among others pickled gherkins, mayonnaise, mustard, French capers, finely cut onion, (pickled little onions and a touch of vinegar works too), salt, pepper – whatever tickles your fancy. Or have it straight. Enjoy Lodie – there are others who have now been reminded and tempted again and who will know no peace until we have some more!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I definately will try it out. Dieter from Germany also sent suggestions. You do understand German? His post is further down.

Ek moet weet waarvoor om te bid – nie net in die algemeen nie. Dit help nie ons is opgewonde oor ‘n moontlike reunie nie, maar ons spreek nie jou groot nood aan nie. Roelf

Dankie vir jou post.
Die reünie gaan voort. Ek gaan die naweek weer skryf, Dalena het ‘n paar dingetjies wat sy genoem wil hê.
Ek skryf vir jou ‘n epos bietjie later.
