Jonjon79 13,340 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 ...... At Food Warehouse (part of Iceland) There's a few new warehouse shop type places popping up round here - one of them is called Food Warehouse. We popped in today to see what it was like and to be fair, they've got some good stuff. I've never had Wagyu beef before but, I'd heard it's nice - they had these Wagyu rump steaks - a couple of minutes each side in the griddle and, it was bloody lovely. The meat is different to a normal steak - the fibres are smaller and they part easier. The taste is almost a little buttery. At £8 a pop, I did think they'd be more expensive. I usually like steak midium rare but, I want to get another and try it very rare 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
green lurchers 16,369 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 That looks v nice Jon anything more than med rare is a waste of a wagyu , there’s a tidy pub up the road do v nice food there star players on the menu is the wagyu the burgers the rib eye are top notch if you look out the pub window thers a small number of cattle wandering around in fine condition they are well kept and look sort of happy , one by one the number of cattle gets less and less until the star player on the menu is no more , and wagyu is removed from the menu 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's where I'd always heard of it before - linked to Japanese grub and, bloody expensive grub at that. ....... I think that's why I was so surprised to find it where I did 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,453 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well, seems I'm in the minority, but I'm no fan of Wagyu at all, perhaps I've just been to the wrong restaurants! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's been a while since I've been back home so, I'm a little out of touch but, there must somewhere round there that'll do you a nice one mate Failing that, get your own and whack it on a griddle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen them crossed with Aberdeen Angus before and was told, most are cross bred in Europe. To the lads on about the Japanese top notch beef.... Wagyu is the breed, Kobi is the beer fed and pampered exception that costs a fuucking fortune, for not much extra imo. A bit like the Fois gras of beef lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
