​*cough* Horse meat scandal *cough*

Been there got the t-shirt. TBH they are alright but personally prefer the aldi frozen Aberdeen Angus quarter pounders for £1,99

Having just got back from japan and having tried proper Kobe Wagyu, there is not a chance in hell these burgers will come close to proper Japanese Wagyu. As people have said farmers can buy the Wagyu sperm and breed it with normal UK cattle and call the cows Wagyu.

The difference however is in how the cattle are looked after, i.e. Proper Japanese Wagyu is grain fed, given beer and not allowed out to roam. The total opposite of uk cattle which are mainly free roaming and non grain fed which leads to a totally different type of meat without the extra fat in it (Nice fat though) that Wagyu cattle should have.

If you want the real thing sadly you have to pay for it and these just don't come close!

Just had these for tea, lovely. Had one topped with onions and smoked bacon, the other with chillies and Stilton. Very tasty and succulent. The kids don't normally like burgers (never been to McD's) but they wolfed these down. Will call for more tomorrow if i get a minute.

You, my friend, are MENTAL

Wagyu burgers? Why? No matter what you stick in a shop bought burger, it's still going to be rubbish. Make your own using good old chuck steak and cook them pink, the way they should be made.

I will and it won't change my buying habits. If something tastes good I really don't care whats in it unless it makes me ill.

I get the whole horsemeat scandal of a few years ago was indeed a scandal as it wasnt advertised as such, but I've had horsemeat in france and it's pretty damn nice

Can't understand why people feel the need to click on the deal so they can post something along the lines of 'just make your own burgers, it's cheaper and healthier'. I could grow/cook/make/build a lot of things, but this isn't a cooking or DIY forum.

We finally managed to get a couple last time for the 1st time ever as Aldi usually has just empty shelves by the time we get there and they were spot on, 6 mins in the George Foreman on med high and left to rest for 5 mins.

As far as I know the Champagne region doesn't have a designation for it's beef cattle although Charolais and Romonola are quite popular. Did you look at my link explaining the origins of the Aberdeen Angus cattle recorded in Scotland since at least the 16th century in the country's North East, or just spout off without full knowledge? shall we leave it at that before
Syzable[MOD] gets involved with your trolling :man:

No like champagne its a breed from Angus, not Aberdeen nor Aberdeen Angus, native to Angus.

Mars used to use animal meat from animals put down in its pet food, pets were eating them chemicals, Guide Dogs only bought in their non meat products.


Think of that next time you buy: malteasers, galaxy, twix, snickers, m&m's, milkyway, revels, dolmio sauce or Uncle bens!

It's a breed of cow you numpty, not a racial debate! :man:

wouldn't 'dog meat' imply meat of a dog, not meat for a dog.

Aberdeen and Angus are in Scotland, it dont matter how non Scots market their bull meat to you, but to us its insulting.


Champagne anyone ?

The clue is in the name, Aberdeen has never been apart of Angus...

I watched a program about cheaper wagyu. Basically the farmer breads the wagyu cow with the normal cows and the meat from the new cow can be classed as wagyu beef.

Personally not had these yet but would like to see what all the hype is about.

Gee that picture makes me hungry, and I dont even like burgers.

Horse meat for sure.

Aldi burgers? Im not eating this foreign muck il stick to Kebabs.

Been there got the t-shirt. TBH they are alright but personally prefer the aldi frozen Aberdeen Angus quarter pounders for £1,99

I love these damn things. Last time they were on offer some bloke was emptying the shelf in front of me. Nice chap had rather big ears.

Anyway that's beside the point. These are a lovely burger - I don't care what they are made of. Its unlike a really meaty burger, sorta mild but tasty, no need to slap a load of cheese/bacon/condiments on them, the texture of them is amazing - and I'd have them over and over again.

Gimmie, gimmie now.

you haven't ?:laughing:

Never tried these before, they any good? :L

I wish these were horse meat... It's so good...

Yep, only the bull has to the real thing. Simply like a white bull doing black cows, all the calves are classed as white rather than grey.

looks good...im hungry now

Nice taste, not the best quality of meat bit fatty.

They are £3 at iceland as well

Taste brillian just had them last night

Was about to post about these, it looks like a great deal!

I do buy them find them very dry so make them into meatballs add spices with pasta and sauce

I tried these and whatever the accuracy of the description of the meat they were ok but very salty. They could have been some of the nicest supermarket burgers I've had if it wasn't for the excessive saltiness.

Oddly enough, most pet food has to be certified fit for human consumption.

All incorrect assumptions I'm afraid.

No I don't mean a steak burger, I meant a patty.

well burger is always burger, you can put truffle or caviar in a burger but it won't make it a proper meal. It's no more than a junk food or bar food...

I've never had food poisoning from a pink burger, in fact I try to request it whenever I eat out (and if the restaurant allows it)

Seems you are the ignorant one. A prime cut of beef is going to be far better than a beef patty made from the not as nice cut if beef. Additionally you can cook the cut of beef rare as the cooking process will kill the bacteria as it only resides on the outer edges. The patty however must be cooked well done as the bacteria resides throughout the meat. The cooking process as destroys the tenderness and taste of the beef which is why some people prefer their beef rare. However I prefer mine medoium well done with a tiny bit of blood as im not a vampire, lol

These are quite good but a bit too salty for my taste.

it will be like burgers advertised as Angus, its proberley only a % Wagyu!

I think mk8 means it's about the CUT of the beef - not the composition of it. A burger can be 100% beef (which may even be 100% sirloin). However, it will never beat a proper steak burger (ie a slice of meat, not formed from beef mince), as steak can be cooked pink in the middle. Next time you have a steak, stick some in a burger roll and enjoy. :sunglasses:

that's why I give the Mrs some laughing gas before we jump into bed

Just make your own burgers. Takes about 10 minutes at an absolute max!

You can limit the salt and fat so are a decent enough meal which kids never say no to.

​oh dear someone believes the advertising.

These to start with are less than 90% beef so fair bit of filler there.
now to that Wagyu beef this is from a crossbreed cow which would of had a Wagyu cow somewhere in its family tree.
if they taste good then fine but if buying because Wagyu then probably best going to get a decent burger from local butchers.

all they do is massage the cows lol, only joking but seriously does it actually taste so much better?!?

They were caught and they were prosecuted hence my comment that standards are expected to be kept too.

I tried these they were awful, it tastes and smells like dog meat

​*cough* Horse meat scandal *cough*

I agree, food poisoning will ruin your day.

These are the tastiest burgers I've ever purchased from a supermarket, but each to their own. The taste is more from the seasoning, absolutely loads of salt in them as well as garlic & pepper. Not much water - they actually stay the same size when cooked.

Anyone got the full ingredients for these? Nothing wrong with wagyu, but what other crap have the put in them? Shop bought burgers are always junk and full of fillers, better off making your own.

What is a wagyu? If if has 5 legs and flies count me in.

I thought it was a christmas pudding from the picture

I dont suppose Wagyu burgers are low in fat then? I bet about 30 weight watchers points lol

I love them as they have allot of the reputable wagyu fat which gives the great flavour. the steaks are the best but rarely become available

Tried the frozen ones from Iceland they are very good thick,tender and juicy.
