Really difficult to believe this is anything other than made-for-social-media scripted for clicks.
Edit: for you non-believers (or is it believers?):
“The image used in the posts originally comes from a blog promoting tourism in Japan’s Shizuoka prefecture: [same pic we see]
What you’re looking at there isn’t so much “medium rare chicken,” as it is more chicken tataki; chicken seared over hot coals and served largely raw. A dish prepared with the same techniques ordinarily used for fish in eastern cuisine.“

So yeah. /thathappened.
I’ve eaten this “torisashi” in Kagoshima before. Didn’t mind it, I was always curious about what rare chicken would taste like.
HOWEVER: the raw chicken served in Japan isn’t regular chicken. The birds are slaughtered and prepared in a very specific way so that bacteria are kept in control.

That happened.
To this day I never thought about salmonella and salmon being linked in any way and I do enjoy puns and etymology
It may be because I’m my language it’s pronounced with a voiced ‘l’. At least that’s what I think.
By the way it’s called like that because one researcher that named the pathogen was Daniel Salmon. They named it the ‘hog cholera disease’ (because they thought mistakingly that it caused that). It was only later that somebody named after Salmon. Thus it has nothing to do with the fish at all.
People know this is fake, right?
