Too bad they don't make "green".

Thor, have you cooked Kobe beef? Tempted to get some but don’t want to mess it up. It’s rather pricey.

I have not. I have eaten some Kobe steak in Japan and it's just like butter. If you're a person who can't handle greasy food, skip it.

How deep is the tunnel under it?

It was too greasy for my wife. One bite turned her tummy.

guess it's gonna be pretty hard to get some genuine kobe, as these excerpts indicate!

In the United States, there are currently only 32 restaurants that have access to genuine Kobe beef.

You can find a list of overseas accredited restaurants and distributors here.

"Kobe-style" beef
The increase in popularity of Japanese beef in the United States has led to the creation of "Kobe-style" beef, taken from domestically raised Wagyu crossbred with Angus cattle, to meet the demand. Farms in the United States and Britain have attempted to replicate the Kobe traditions.[22] From the first Wagyu cattle imported in the 1970s, 150 US ranches now raise "tens of thousands of Wagyu cattle".[23]

The meat produced by these cross-breeds is different from the "authentic" Kobe beef, though this is "often by design", due to the perception that American palates do not actually want the richness of Japanese beef and would prefer a more familiar flavor profile.[6] Some US meat producers claim any differences between their less expensive "Kobe-style" beef and true Kobe beef are largely cosmetic.[24] Cuts of US "Kobe-style" beef tend to have darker meat and a bolder flavor.[25]

In Europe, UK grocery retailer Asda, owned by Walmart, introduced Wagyu beef at the end of 2011 under its Butcher’s Selection line using meat from a herd in Yorkshire, "bred from Holstein dairy cows impregnated with Wagyu semen". This not only made the beef more affordable, but it also resulted in less marbled meat more familiar to UK consumers.[3] In June 2014, the German discounter Aldi announced that it was going to introduce Wagyu beef steaks, "with every store receiving a limited number of 50 steaks, priced at a very competitive £6.99 for an 8-oz (225-g) sirloin and rib eye". However, Aldi’s Wagyu beef was sourced from New Zealand, where the exclusively grass-fed cattle are allowed to roam, more in keeping with changing standards of animal welfare (in Japan cattle are "confined in small pens and given much more energy-dense feed").[3]

Kobe beef is rare and expensive, even in Japan.

Kobe beef price per pound in Japan (about 450 grams) is about $300, but you can pay around $500 for the best cuts of meat at finer establishments.

Given its scarcity and price tag, most Japanese have never tasted it, and those who have generally reserve it for a very special occasion.

In the US, you can expect to pay $50 per ounce (less than 30 grams). While wagyu can be half that.

Price is a good first indicator. As much as we'd all like to think we can get a premium Kobe steak or burger for an extra $10 at the local gastro pub, unless you're paying a couple of hundred bucks for it, it's not Kobe beef.

And no one in their right mind is going to grind up top-quality wagyu, much less prized Kobe beef, into a hamburger patty in the first place. There is essentially no such thing as ground Kobe beef.

k, time to sort puppies

 

[adrina]

Do you put the puppies into piles?

I'm so glad this work day is over. What a long day.

I'm not so sure about this whole adulting thing. There's a lot of boring-ness to this gig.

I know what you mean, adulting can be quite boring!

It's only Tuesday! Sigh!

At least it's midweek tomorrow.

Life is just not the glamorous festival we were promised.

I don't mind some unglamorous parts of life as long as it's a little warmer.

Today/tonight wasn't all that much different from yesterday up here!

Coldville has some major suckiness to it. Like, ya know, the cold.

Granted Tropicalville has some issues too. But it does not include snow and ice. So there's that. But we have bugs. Big bugs.

Choices.

But still no glamorous festival.

Guess I will stick with filet mignon

Guess I will stick with filet mignon

Porterhouse has better marbling, just sayin'

 

[adrina]

Strip steak.

Although I did buy a nice porterhouse the other day. The filet is over rated really. I know a lot of people really like it - I just can't get into it. I just don't think it has as much flavor.

Most important thing however is not to overcook it. Ugh.

Fluffing is one thing. Folding and stacking ... ???

Hump day.


Alas, no humping forecast.

Well, this weather has fucked up my entire week’s worth of plans. I wouldn’t even mind staying home tomorrow but I forgot my iPad in my office and I have so many books I’d rather read on that vs any other device.

All of the devices have private browsing for Pornhub, right?

 

[thør]

Strip steak.

Just season with salt and pepper and lay it right on the red hot charcoal. Wait 30 seconds and flip it over. Another 30 and put it on your plate.

We bought a fancy new (way too big) tv the other week and I would like an empty house for a few hours so I could stream some porn and test it out. Will that happen any time soon? Probably not.
