Have you eaten wagyu beef?

Wagyu, if translated to English is, 'wa' as 'Japanese' and 'gyu' as 'beef' and is considered to be one of the most expensive meat in the market nowadays. I'm not so much of a beef person and I can't understand the hype people put on eating pricey beef burgers or beef steak. Apparently, many restaurants abroad advertise using 100% pure wagyu beef and/or Kobe beef on their menu to attract customers but the truth is, they're using fake beef. I definitely can't tell the difference. Have you eaten wagyu beef? Photo taken last Saturday during a beefy lunch.

We don't eat meat, so we won't be trying anything related to beef @sol_cee

I heard tofu is a great substitute for meat. Do you use it?

We do not eat beef, therefore, I have not heard about wagyu beef. Thanks for sharing. I can tell you this much that India is one of the biggest exporter of beef meat.

@sol_cee Let me clear that when I wrote beef meat, I meant buffalo meat. Yes, you are right that cows are worshiped here and people do not eat cow's meat in India.

i am not sure i would purposely eat "aged" beef. but i may have eaten it without knowing. a Souix friend of mine i discovered tended to leave a chunk of beef out a very long time before cooking but i never found that out until after i had eaten there a couple of times. she said it made it more flavorful and tender but not sure i could chance it these days as i was a lot younger back then. lol

Some burger stores in SG offers this beef. But I can't tell the difference. Maybe I need to eat a steak of it, not a burger.

Yes, it is very expensive, and the last time I had it was during company's celebratory event. The buffet cost more than $100 per person, so we literally helped ourselves stuff full of wagyu beef and raw oysters.

@sol_cee Yes, it is the real thing. The buffet is at a very reputable restaurant. They have a lot at stake, and they cannot afford to serve cheaper beef.

I had Kobe beef, that I think is not very different, the meat has an intense marbling and it's very tender, but very expensive too.

We have wagyu beef here too and cattle stations are going all out to have their beef classified in this way. I think it is probably over-rated too.

@sol_cee maybe intestinal parasitism if the beef is not properly cooked? or amoebiasis too if fresh vegetables are mixed to the meal?
