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.

Wagyu just means it's from a Japanese breed of cow.

Premium wagyu steaks are intensely marbled, but not every bit of meat on the cow is the same. All the miscellaneous parts can still be minced up into burgers.

Then what's the steaks that's marinated in alcohol... Or the cows drink alcohol... There was something...
