Steak this weekend?

No. I am vegetarian.

Nope. Vegan 🥦🍆🫛🥑🌽

Absolutely not!

For people with more money than sense?

Just back from M&S simply food where a single Wagyu fillet steak was £21.
I resisted the temptation but did buy 2 Wagyu burgers which were part of an offer.

Had a lovely fillet steak from Tesco this week. Cooked just over rare, tender as butter, mmmmm!

Absolutely not! But then I’m not a great lover of red meat. Would pay for a lovely lump of monkfish tho but not that much!

My son cooked Wagyu steak. It was ridiculously expensive, and we didn’t like the texture of it.

A Facebook item popped up this morning from Lidgates,, “ London’s premier butcher”
Waygu steak, £60+ for a sirloin, £50+ for a smaller fillet.

Have you/ Would you ever pay so much for meat?
I thought it was for a pack, no, a single steak.

Their Wagyu Rib Eye Steak (1 x 250g) has a current price of £74.10

You can get "lower quality" for a quarter of the price from, say,Sainsbury's or Tesco.

And even more eye-wateringly expensive there is Olive Wagyu!

"Raised on a tiny island in Kagawa Prefecture on toasted olive pressings, Olive Wagyu is considered the rarest Wagyu on earth. Because importing it to the UK is extremely restricted, raw cuts easily fetch over £500/kg through high-end importers like Fine & Wild or Tom Hixson."

So Lidgates offering is a "snip" by comparison!

Delicious ribeye from my butcher £13 ,yummy.

I do not like steak mostly due to the fact that my meat would have to be "cremated" before I would eat it! Then I would get told off for ruining it! Therefore I do not have a problem with the price as I never buy it

Yes I have and would again.
When I was in a steak restaurant in Istanbul the table of 4 beside us bought a steak to share that cost £1000. It was extremely thick so Ive no idea how they’d have cooked it through.

Nope. Mince again.

Sirloin for around £6 at Aldi. Best I've ever bought in a supermarket. We buy one and chop it up for a stir fry.

I rarely buy steak any more, but if I were going to, it’d be top quality British, e.g. aged Aberdeen Angus, not Japanese.

We all had lunch at a Hawksmoor steak restaurant not long
ago. Everyone was very pleased with their meal, and my sister from America said her Chateaubriand was the best she’d ever had. One of the staff told us that all their beef comes directly from a particular farm in Yorkshire. There was a delivery just as we were leaving the London Docklands restaurant.

No way too much,theyre taking the mick!

We only buy steak for a treat these days. Here wagyu beef fillet is about $25 -$35 a kg so they are definitely ripping you off there. Daylight robbery.
