I enjoy these so my perspective:
* raw beef (tartare): the taste of raw beef "makes sense" if you like rare steak. It's a very full umami flavour quite unlike most food.
* sushi: raw salmon on nice sticky rice might as well be beef.. cake. It's buttery, breaks apart in your mouth, sweet without actually being sweet.
* salted pork: very good also, the salt and fat go together well, i usually eat this with something sweet.
* eggs: I don't do raw eggs either.
For reference, I've eaten and prepared a lot of different kinds of meat in my life (smoked, dried, grilled, fried etc.) so eating it raw is only a small leap away.
