The worlds most expensive for under a fiver! There must be some misteak :smirk:

No Katie Hopkins isn't involved

With things like this surely you only get wagyu pay for...

I actually read about it in the Liverpool echo but googled it to confirm it was genuine and that was the first article that popped up.. if you must know.

I've never quite understood why the OP needs to act like an overzealous salesman every time this deal comes up. If he was a retailer, this post would be false advertising. This is not "the most expensive steak in the world" sold at a bargain price. It's a pretender. A fake. Mutton dressed as lamb.

Probably decent enough steak, but there's no need to oversell it.

Wagyu means:
WA - Japanese
GYU - beef

So it referrs to all Japanese breed cows. These can be located anywhere in the world and produced anywhere.

Kobe beef - Kobe is the region where you can find Kobe beef. The "proper stuff" the massaged cow fed on beer.

Think of it as wagyu is the cava / or sparkling wine of beef. And Kobe is the champagne

Cold cold cold.

These will be from cross-bred Wagyu cattle that are fed a normal diet (and possibly some beer) so bear little or no resembelence in appearnce or taste to the real thing. You'll get a much better, much bigger piece of rump from a "normal" breed cow for the same money.

Is the Daily Mail to blame or the people who read it and link to it? Or don't read it (correctly) and link to it?

With things like this surely you only get wagyu pay for...

kobe beef - Has to come from the Kobe region of Japan from a specific breed of cattle. This is the real deal and is the most expensive beef because of the strict diet, living conditions, and grading that it has to meet. Not often exported around the world but if you found it in a restaurant it would cost over £100 a steak.

Wagyu - Just translates to Japanese cattle in general, not necessarly even from the Kobe breed and can be bred anywhere, sometimes with other breeds. It wont have been reared in the same conditions, you can tell when you compare the marbling of true Kobe and any other random Wagyu.

Any meat from Aldi is a definite no from me.

Don't be too sure that those "super posh restaurants" are really serving you what they claim to be serving you:

not quite the same :smiley:

​ It was on 2 months ago, only thing missing from this thread is the whole 'marbling adds flavour' and the discussing of the tastiest cow anybody has ever eaten.

Is is not the worlds most expensive steak, for example I have a piece in my fridge which I have just put on ebay. Buy it now at £1000 for 300g

People really don't know a lot about shops selling this stuff cheap.
Yes this may come from the Wagyu cow, but it is not the same as the premium, £30.00 a steak stuff.
All the do with this is just mature it, and will be no better than any other 28 day aged steak in the supermarket.

Proper Wagyu is massaged for hours, fed beer and treated like royalty, and when its all said and done, the steak almost looks white from the marbling.

The world's cheapest most expensive steak...?

I've also got the world's largest bonsai tree if anyone's interested?

​i tried them both last time and couldn't tell any discernable difference from the regular steaks despite being almost twice the price @ £7 a pop, despite that I'm still going to try this rump because you never know it may surprise me, so have some heat op is :smiley:

Most members on here will not know how to cook a steak correctly & so will be a waste anyway.

Does it come off a cow?

This been posted before with the same old comments same arguments. Boring

LOL, no problem - Just a bit gutted that Aldi appear to have done Sirloin and ribeye before and I missed out :-( Will probably try and get some of this to give it a go though. Any excuse for a bit of steak and all that :-)

Yes sorry. I will delete the comment. It was mentioned on the daily mail article about it.I got it from there. Say no more...

You've linked to Sirloin, yet the Aldi deal is for Rump?

i dont get why even its the world's most expensive one :disappointed:

Is it made from salty beef balls :laughing:

The only steak Morrissey and Paul McCartney will eat.

The worlds most expensive for under a fiver! There must be some misteak :smirk:

Just tried to cover some of the usual points that come up :wink:

Fancy A Kebab http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/doner-kebab-meat-500g-1-00-heron-2499903:laughing:

I think the most important one on your list is 'it will be sold out'. And it will. 227g for a fiver - I will pass, that's far too expensive.

Is it legal to say something like that this time of night? :wink:

Keep in mind that there are like a dozen different grades of Wagyu beef. So no, this is unlikely to be the same or even close to the grade of meat that you would get in a super posh restaurant.
Saying that, I will take any excuse to buy a nice 28 days aged ribeye steak from my local butchers, so I can compare it to ALDI's Wagyu rump steak. <3

i thought it wasn't classed as Wagyu unless you had it in Japan.

But it`s not Real Wagyu :disappointed:
But it`s Aldi :disappointed:
But it`ll be sold out :disappointed:

Covered those off :smirk:
