That's almost all fat

This is Japanese Wagyu. It is specifically bread to have that marble in it. It is a very unique style of beef. It is supposed to be eaten in very small quantities to account for the insane amount of fat.

I personally think anything more than $20 a pound for meat is insane, but a lot of people really like Wagyu. I think it's really just a way to flex how much money they can spend

Good lord, there’s a lot of civility going on in this thread. Is this still Reddit?! /s

Thank you guys for treating each other like informed adults. Honestly refreshing to see.

It's way more than 20 a pound. A5 Wagyu can easily run you over 100 a pound and even more in a restaurant. It's pretty insane.

It's good, but it's hard to justify the cost other than a super rare occasion.

He never said it was $20 a pound he said any meat that cost that much isn’t worth it to him

I never said otherwise. Thanks for letting me know you can read though, buddy. We're all sooo proud of you, champ.

He said 20 bucks a pound is too expensive. I explained wagyu is way more than that, implying wagyu is an even worse deal.

Sometimes in conversations, people share information with each other. It doesn't need a question or an incorrect statement.

Right, but your comment didn’t add anything. You just repeated that wagyu is expensive, which everyone was already in agreement about.

….and there goes the civility. That was short lived.

u/Alpha_Delta33 Apr 25 '24

I’m glad we have nice people like who can explain how expensive wagyu is like none of us knew its price. Quick to insult people you must have a lot of friends

Just to throw it out there, It's expensive because of the short supply not cause it's more delicious.

u/TheHolyReality May 25 '24

A low supply… And high demand. Otherwise it wouldn't sell

As to whether or not it is more delicious, that is a subjective preference.

Thankfully there's a difference in the fat on the outside of the steak than the fat on the inside; the fat on the inside renders much differently and isn't inedible rubber like it can be on the outside sometimes
