8oz rump steaks at £2.34 a piece on special offer, seems pretty good value at £10 per kg!

Campbells meats are doing half price wagyu rump , it's about £6 for a ten ounce, for the next 24 hours.

Follow the link then enter WAGYU50 at the checkout.

I have no affiliation nor do I vouch for the quality of the meat. But I have ordered ten biggrin

My issue with waitrose chicken breast, which is expensive at 6.50 per 500g is that I always find myself having to trim them. I should not have to cut off another 10% .

Your impressions would be interesting. I seek out grass fed meat and avoid grain fed whenever possible so I'll be interested what you make of it.

Nope. Their standard ones. Ive stopped buying them because they are also so full of water, my stirfry ends up being broiled FFS.

I was not impressed at all.

The marbling looked superb but when the steaks were cooked they just tasted, and ate, like good steaks. There was none of the butteriness of a wagyu steak nor the superb flavouring. It was also very fatty , with a lot left over at the end. Perhaps 20%.

I am lucky because I currently have some wagyu for my restaurant to compare, and they are like chalk and cheese, restaurant wagyu just melts in the mouth and is as tender as fillet whilst maintaining a great meaty taste. There is also very little waste.

As a steak the Campbells wagyu was lovely but I felt it did not represent the luxuriousness of good wagyu.

This always confuses me in Waitrose, you can get a whole chicken for about £1 more and they come from the same source AFAIK and given the standard of 'fillet' you might as well do it yourself.

To be fair, most supermarket fillets are poorly butchered and full of water though frown

I never understand butchers, so it's £8.50 for 60 oz of burgers which is made from chuck steak. It's £12.40 for 70 oz of the chuck steak.

Surely it should be the other way around ! lol

Buying meat at retail prices is so vastly over inflated compared to 'trade' prices. Particularly when you want to make your own sausages and burgers etc.

Turned and George for me. Burgers, great. Sausages, great. Beef, great.

Cheaper than supermarkets for lots of stuff too.
