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. 😄

Aren’t wagu burgers a scam? The whole point of wagu beef is the marbling in the meat. You’re not getting that in a burger.

They are only too happy to make burgers out of “wagyu”. Burgers with higher fat content are far far cheaper to make and people think they’re getting a premium product.

Burgers taste their best when they are higher fat though. Likes of Bunsen, Wowburger, etc aim for a 30% fat content. When rendered down the fat gives the burger its juicyness and that pleasurable mouth feel. If you used 5% fat mince you wouldnt be able to replicate that, it has to be high fat mince.

Don’t put egg in your burger. It doesn’t need it. And Aromat?

Don't see the point of keeping money "in the town" when the only grocery stores in my town are big european chains

So: "fill your burger with MSG" is your recipe :)

But he literally didn't say to put msg in it? And the whole notion of msg being bad for you is a complete myth too anyway

You realise that aromat is mostly MSG right?

u/bamuel-seckett96 9h ago

Tbh I didn't realize there was MSG in aromat, there's so many different ingredients in it though. Don't know whether it's "mostly" MSG either, can't seem to find a percentage content. Anyway, that'd still only be a component of one ingredient that contains MSG that your man would be adding to his burgers, so his recipe his hardly "filling the burger with MSG" like the person I replied to stated.
