A Facebook item popped up this morning from Lidgates,, “ London’s premier butcher”
Waygu steak, £60+ for a sirloin, £50+ for a smaller fillet.

Have you/ Would you ever pay so much for meat?
I thought it was for a pack, no, a single steak.

Absolutely not - I've just done my week's shopping for little more than that.

I love an aged rib eye steak but for some reason Waygu puts me off. No idea why. 🤷‍♀️
So, no.

I know Wagyu is expensive but that is ridiculous!

I eat very little red meat so I can’t remember the last time I had a steak.
Wouldn’t say no if someone else was paying though. 🤣

I noticed aged sirloin in M & S last weekend was £17 for one steak. I bought two aged ribeye ones from my local butcher for £30 so £15 each and probably that’s the most I would pay. Never had waygu don’t really fancy it.

No way Jose! as the saying goes. My only occasional rib eye is if it is in the reduced basket and even then these days I look at the reduced price and think it is the usual price!

No I would not pay that, especially as I know I would be suffering with it stuck in my teeth afterwards, so definitely not worth it to me.
