wagyu burgers at Aldi

[wez130]

Asda did it last year and sold out pretty darn quick at 2 for £3.49, Aldi have got a limited supply in until stocks last at 2.99 for 2x 150g burgers. Go go go.

You don't really believe it's really the Wagyu you think it is? The blasphemy to then mince it into burgers if it was real

In my opinion Asda are guilty of fraud and they should be prosecuted by Trading Standards officials

[Maccapacca]

Is that where you got your love of cheap pizza?

 

[cainer]

That was an interesting read in all fairness.
Cant believe how they've even attempted it LMAO
Advertising standards surely gone awry here?

Well, Wagyu is the breed really and technically it's a Wagyu cross so...

I agree that it's seriously lame though.

Had one of these last night, have to say it was really good, what ever breed it came from.

Would definitely buy them again. I had mine standalone no bun or seasonings to see what the taste was like. Tasted like a nice burger.

On the packet it says these are rared in New Zealand.

 

[FrenchTart]

What's the fat content, out of interest?

 

[Kimi]

Not sure, ive got another packet in the fridge at home so will take a pic later, all i can remember off the top of my head were the cals being 415 or something

 

[FrenchTart]

I'm hoping for 20%

It's grass-fed beef so that's generally a good thing. Whether or not it's Wagyu in the traditional sense it's probably a fair chunk better than your average cheapo pre-made burger.

 

[wez130]

44% fat

 

[FrenchTart]

Wow. That's a pretty huge percentage for a burger. Must be extremely juicy

 

[JRS]

Had one of these last night, and must echo Kimi's thoughts - was a very tasty burger

Aldi? Its probably horse meat.

 

[FrenchTart]

Uninformed opinion powers GO!

 

[dottty27]

Lol must be a Waitrose shopper

 

[PapaLazaru]

Aldi? Its probably horse meat.

Yeah, because it is good value it must be horse.

 

[wez130]

Well it says 33g of fat per 150g burger so to me that's just over 20%. Strange. They are juicy though.

Aldi? Its probably horse meat.

Actually, you'd be surprised at Aldi, they do some cracking stuff, their premium bread is really nice and only £1 a loaf.
