Crudo alemán

Crudo alemán is a dish made from raw beef that comes from Germany. It's a special type of dish that's not cooked, which means it's raw and cold when you eat it.

Think about it like playing with Play-Doh. When you first start playing with it, it's really stiff and can be hard to mold into the shape you want. But as you play with it and roll it around in your hands, it becomes easier to shape and mold.

In the same way, crudo alemán is made by taking raw beef and cutting it into really small pieces. Then, different ingredients like onions and pickles are added to it and mixed together until it's all blended together like Play-Doh.

Once everything is mixed together, the crudo alemán is put on a plate and served cold, just like if you put your Play-Doh in the fridge.

So when you eat crudo alemán, you get to enjoy the flavors of the different spices and ingredients mixed together with the raw beef. It's important to remember that since this dish is made from raw beef, it's important to only eat it if it's made safely and correctly.
