    @thetrimHmmm... Camel Toe Stew?  I think I'd hit it and quit it. Or maybe sear and then stew it. I've actually had Camel several times overseas...Gibraltar specifically. Not too shabby.

    I couldn't find that on the SRF website, but, it actually looked good.

    If you ever see "American Wagyu", it's a cross between a Japanese cow and an Angus. Some ranches will have a Wagyu bull (or part Wagyu bull) and black Angus cows.

    In Satou - the steak restaurant in that blog post - their most prized steak, the Matsuzaka Beef sirloin was Yen 10000 or £58 / $83. And the Kurobe Wagyu I also tried was half that amount at Yen 5000. Both tasted very different - the more expensive one didn't look fatty on your plate, because the fat had dissolved into the meat - there was very little chewing and it didn't coat your mouth with grease like some fatty foods do.

    All sides were included so even though it was expensive, compared to a top steak house in London (where I live) it wasn't obscene. Japan is very expensive though. I was prepared for that (well I thought I was until I came home after 10 days and realised the real damage to my bank account). I wasn't on account - but I think when you're in a foreign land you'll only genuinely get these experiences there so it's worth the money. I only ate steak twice though!

    I'd look forward to @sgh doing a ground camel dish. Dixie Style!

    I was in Japan a couple of years ago 

     a few things that are commonly misunderstood outside of Japan: 

    - Kobe is only available in a couple of places outside of Japan. I think just a couple of hotels in Hong Kong have it. So if you see it for sale anywhere, they're conning you! What they may be selling you is wagyu beef but it's certainly not Kobe and it's doubtful the meat comes from Japan. Maybe hard to believe, but the chef I was with was very serious that Kobe is not exported and that was repeated by other Japanese professionals I spoke to. 



    Hope that's educational!
    Educational, but not 100% accurate...a lot can change in a couple of years...

    Brother, in her heyday she was sure enough fine. Ms. Bach was always one of my favorites.

    Now I remember why Enos always had a smile on his face....
  • There is a very good documentary on Netflix called Steak Revolution that discusses different cuts of steaks, different methods of raising beef and cooking from all over the world including wagu.   A little long but very interesting..

    @thetrim I had lunch there last year, very cool place.  Lots of unique cuts that would be fun to grill.

    When I was a kid lived in Japan for four years back in the 1960's. Had  a few opportunities to eat Kobe beef. It was good but I remember thinking I would rather have had a hot dog.

    However, I could tell it must have been really good when I would see my dad and his squadron buddies eyes rolling back in their head with each bite!
