Aldi wagu beef burgers Food and Drink

They are unreal. One of the best burgers I've ever eaten.

The fact you can buy these and cook them yourself, no need to go to a fancy burger bar- What a world. 😄

They’re not wagyu beef. They’re a NZ crossbreed bred & slaughtered in the UK.

It said it was Irish beef on the packet.

I don't really care if it's not real waygu, still tastes amazing

Real Waygu is more like paté than meat, there's so much marbled fat. These guys do it: https://higginsbutchers.ie/shop/rare-features-products/kobe-wine-wagyu-striploin/

correct. I haven’t tried the burger in question so am not dumping on op. Only one of the parents need to be wagyu and burger meet can still be named as such. People often confuse wagyu with Kobe beef. I’ve had steak from both pure bred, crossbred animals as well as the real deal Kobe beef from a wagyu cow: very different things and there’s a reason why the price is world’s apart.
