>t. has never had actual japanese wagyu, or if he did he paid restaurant meme pricing

You can buy it yourself and cook it yourself and it's hardly even that much more than USDA prime or similar high quality beef.

You sound poor and mad.

If youve never tasted wagyu than your flyover redneck ass should shut the fuck up. I used to work in a japanese yaki niku bbq restaurant that only served wagyu and kobe beef. Comparing that to whatever generic supermarket shit youre eating is like comparing pre shredded cheese to fresh mozzarella made straight from the buffalo. Dont talk about shit you dont have any clue about faggot

Wagyu cows objectify have more marbling because of their genetics, even the image in the OP demonstrates this.

Whether or not Wagyu is worth it? Debatable. Definitely way better than regular beef in my opinion but not so much where I'd go out of my way to buy expensive cuts of it on the regular. Anyone who grinds it into burgers is a fucking retard though.

>>17269388
Why do poors get so mad at expensive things?

>>17269388
The problem isn't wagyu "being a scam", it's that most chef interpret it in the most retarded manners. I see Wagyu Burgers all the fucking time. What the fuck is wrong with the guy who came up with this? It's fatty meat, don't make a burger out of it, wtf?. You don't serve filet mignon in a fucking burger, do you?

>>17269472
You have to remember the people who do that are just doing it for social media. Unfortunately people who don't know better buy into the meme.

>>17269454
actually it's the opposite, rich people are rich because they're cheap and point out when things cost too much. poors just buy whatever and don't give a shit.

high-end honey

>>17269427
>>17269454
ah, so its not about the meat, its about the feeling you get from eating something "exclusive"

A 1 lb wagyu steak is around $100-200, even if it is only a TINY bit better than a regular steak there are people who would pay $100-200 to try it. If you can’t afford it fine, but that doesn’t make it a “meme” and you could have picked any number of useless extravagent things to whine about like edible gold

I don't understand the appeal of something with so much fat

>>17269531
Look in a mirror.

>>17269537
…..so you’re saying he’s appealing?

>>17269531
Probably because you've never had it.
It's not really directly comparable to normal steak fat.


>>17269501
Yeah, you can get a 1lbs A5 Wagyu NY strip for ~$100-160 pretty easily. Though A5 Kobe NY strip will set you back ~3x that price, around $350-400.

>>17269491
Epic midwit post, friend. You can definitely eat and buy your way into a lower tax bracket, but you will never be rich by penny pinching. I would wager that most rich people do it because they never have to fear opportunity cost when dealing on the small scale of bartering, whereas wagies who lack time are at a serious disadvantage and will be more likely to pay a little too much for something or let something go for less than it's worth if it's been a hard sell. Rich people can hold onto shit forever and not care, so they'll obviously only buy low and sell high out of pure allowance. You're not going to become rich by being on "extreme cheapskates" on a $50k salary unless you're good enough at investing, and that's a really rare case.

If you want to get angry at weeaboos then just point to super expensive ramen joints. A very limited and controlled quantity of cows that have genetic qualities that make its beef unique from other cattle is not one of them.

You're a retard.

OP why do you think that Wagyu is a scam specifically? Are you not a fan of how it tastes, do you just not think it's worth the money?

>>17269675
same reason I think alcohol, coffee, and olives are scams. Because sex-havers seem to enjoy it while I find it all repugnant

Craft Beer are very nice but the real issue is that breweries found out that "Hops = sales" so they keep making overly bitter hoppy beers that taste like grassclippings.

Poor people don't get mad at rich things, rich people get mad when everyone else rightly points out the shit they waste money on isn't that much better or worth the price.
If I could choose between having *perfectly cooked* McDonald's fries, hot and greasy and salty and fresh out the fryer, or a good steak at some fancy restaurant, I'd choose the fries.

It literally isn't, the dude in the right pick is younger than the dude in the left despite them being 11 years apart.

Also, he's fucking shorter by several inches.

I get wagyu steaks that jungle jims imports for about 40$ a lb they have ruined regular steak for me on usda steaks you can see the feed lot fat

>>17269911
>pick
I would discard your opinion right here if I weren't feeling generous. Remember that.
Anyway, your conjecture is shit. Look how much clearer his face is, and look at the facial hair. It's MORE than plausible that Ken was around 20 in the first pic and approaching 35 in the second.
>also, he's fucking shorter
How the actual fuck do you think you can tell this, retard?

>>17269501
its far less than that it goes for around 40$ a lb

>>17269946
>How the actual fuck do you think you can tell this
Cause the motherfucker on the left is a good 5'10-6'

The motherfucker on the right is maybe 5'8 at best.

>>17269954
$40lbs wholesale for a primal cut maybe.

You're not getting legit A5 cut into nice steaks for $40/lbs though

$40/lbs is American wagyu or A4 Wagyu at best.

fucking kek.
i have some fuckwit at work that makes shitty comments about a monthly payment i have on a powersports toy.

some dude i dont even know out of work is literally fucking seething that i bought a toy, and acts concerned about my finances and shit. its an auto payment from my account unless i want to throw a few more grand at it at once to save on interest, but other than that i myself have zero concern over and almost no thought about the payment, just how much i enjoy my new hobby.

poor people absolutely get mad at rich things.

>>17269982
I'm whiter than you, my autocorrect just doesn't like "pic" because it's not a real world.

>>17269983
Then go ahead and post it, everything I'm seeing online says Jungle Jims has Wagyu, but it's all American wagyu (and yeah, it's $30-40 per lbs)


>>17269987
unless that Japanese girl is extraordinarily tall for a Japanese woman, they're two different people.

The hair color and facial hair growth is also coming in entirely differently, keep pretending they're the same person if you want, but you just look retarded. Not to mention their faces aren't even all that similar looking, the only thing similar about them is they're both wearing traditional clothing and have their hair tied back.

>>17269870
Not that anon, but silly take.
If you make fun of someone with expensive shit, they don’t get mad. You don’t burst their bubble. They don’t go home and lock their door and turn off their phone and sob, thinking “damn.. sure I’m rich, but that anon has a wealth I will never have”.

Or just a thought, the CD tower next to him provides a pretty good way to see how tall he is.

If you could find literally ANY evidence they're the same person i'd live stream my own suicide.

>>17270052
Yeah, you definitely calculated his height based on the CDs, right? In fact, I'm gonna do that right now for you.

>>17270056

>>17270075
>>17270060
>>17270056
>>17270052
Ok, so I'm going to be generous and assume each CD is 4.5 px tall in the image. Ken is standing at 700 px tall, again being generous. A jewel case is 10.4 mm thick.
(700/4.5*10.4)/25.4/12=5.3
Ken is around 5'4".

>>17270105
Okay insectoid

>>17270112
lmfao, if you honestly think that man is 5'4" you're an actual fucking retard

>>17269388
I bought a snake river farms wagyu new york and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had.

>>17270129
I mean he did reproducible math. What did you do ricecel besides seethe?

>>17270129
There is ZERO evidence that he's taller. Look at the curtains in the pic; you can't see the top of them. Given their design, they look like they're for a sliding door to a patio or backyard. USA standard for sliding doors is 80 inches in height with up to a 4 inch lift from the ground floor. If he were anywhere near 6 feet tall, you would see the top of the curtains.
That looks like a big TV. The largest typical size for that chassis style of CRT is 27 inches, which is 16.2" tall viewable. I'll let you take pixel measurements and work that out, but I don't think you'll like the answer.

>>17270052
The CD rack? The one that towers over him and would be impractical for him to use, but is definitely designed for the average height human? That CD rack?

>>17270112
I did some more analysis, the TV next to him is 32 inches tall because I looked it up. Two tvs stack up to his shoulder height so he's about 72 inches tall. Idk how to calculate the other pic since he's standing next to a foid and those can be varying height but he has a different hair color, eye color, jawline, hand size and nose in the two different pictures so i'm going to say that its two different people that look kind of similar.

>>17270157
>>17270152
>>17270143
the CD binder on the floor next to him is a standard 2x2 CD binder which are usually about 12"x12"

You can stack at LEAST 5 and half, if not fully 6 of them and it would be about his height, making 5'4" a fucking laughable estimate.

He's fucking 6 foot, or as close to it as to not really matter for this argument, again if you think he's 5'4" you're a retard.

>>17270157
the cd rack is that tall because he put it on top of the speaker

>>17270165
Larp. This series of TV has identical frames throughout the whole size series. Its literally impossible to tell the size without more info.

It's almost like losing a ton of weight can change your facial features significantly. Waste of a pepe.

>>17270165
Bro, even the biggest consumer CRTs weren't 32 inches tall. The 36" WEGA was 30 flat and that thing is a fucking beast. I guarantee this is no bigger than 27 diagonal, or 16.2 in viewable height since we don't know the actual model's case dimensions.

>>17270179
I didn't realize losing weight changed your eye color, hand size and the shape of your nose
>>17270180

unless he's dying his mustache and beard, it's a moot argument, they're clearly different people.

>>17270186
>>17270180
>>17270172
>>17270165
If we assume the TV is a 32" Toshiba with a 19.2" viewable height, the calculations are as follows:
700/210*19.2=64/12=5.333
Ken is 5'4 absolute max.

>>17270199
the main point of the post I made is that the two have different features. Unless he died his hair and beard, bought colored contacts, got plastic surgery done on his nose and jaw and somehow changed the size of his hands to be smaller.

Come on bud, you're reaching and it's obvious.
Also, dying his facial hair, eyebrows, and hair on his head to the extent it doesn't show at all is expensive, i'd guess the dude in the right picture is at most 25-30 years old, whereas ken in the left is already pushing 30-35 in 2009, let alone in 2020.

>>17269439

>>17270265
If you wanted to claim they were the OPPOSITE, sure. I'd believe the dude on the right could end up looking like the dude on the left after a decade+ of aging and poor diet.

But you're delusional if you think the dude on the left could ever be the dude on the right without a fuck ton of money and surgery.

>>17270262
>shape of his toes
Literally yes, you have no idea the stress your toes see when you're a fat fuck
>shape of his nose
He clearly has fat deposits there in the first picture; same with the forehead

I don't really see an appreciable difference here, sorry. To me, everything checks out with weight loss and age gain. Look at the matured hairline and face shape, especially the chin.

>>17270270

>>17270273
lmao no you don't i've gained and lost hundreds of pounds in my life and none of those features changed.

The only real meme in the food industry is Gold Leaf. Absolutely no value as a food product and it's just a way for nouveau riche retards to act like they finally made it. Your typical lottery winners who are back in the poorhouse by the following year, and second or third worlders trying to front.

Meanwhile you compare them to the actually wealthy; they're either eating rare animals, or they're beyond the point of giving a fuck anymore and eat their steaks well done with ketchup. I've never seen Bill Gates eating gold leaf, and he could probably buy the children of everyone who has eaten it and sell them back with additional spyware installed.

Oh, I understand the new money old money aspect, Bill Gates is not the landed gentry, but the nouveau riche were especially defined by their tastelessness. And nothing screams tasteless like gold leaf.

A better example, I doubt the Rothschilds would be so vulgar as to have their orphan meat painted with gold like some tacky Persian.
People who eat gold leaf are the same people who have the badges of their cars replaced with gold ones. Or, rather, fake gold ones.

>>17270486
Gold leaf is good for your immune system and looks pretty on the plate. It doesn't taste like anything, but it doesn't need to because the assumption is that if you are eating gold leaf you have a few cents to blow on the luxury of eating pretty food. Look up gold leaf on any shopping website. It's super cheap actually, and the idea that it would cost more than a penny or two to put a little gold leaf on your food as a garnish is just the delusion of a coping lame-ass virgin. Get laid.

>>17270614
Gold leaf doesn't look pretty, and I must assume you're a coping Persian. Only Persoids are tasteless enough to need gold-plated everything.

>>17270600
Wait until you find out about rococo, it's going to blow your mind

>>17270614
So what's the point? If it's so cheap and adds nothing to dishes why do it in the first place. Imagine if you go to someone's house and are served a dish covered in gold leaf. As the culinary expert you come off as you know it's nothing, but garnish that adds nothing to a dish other than to look pretty and distract you from the meal.

>>17270633
I am not persian lol. I agree that persians are tacky. I disagree that when expert chefs use gold leaf to enhance the beauty of their plating arrangement it is tacky. It's only tacky if a pleb does it on top of shitty food.

>>17270649
It doesn't add nothing. It can add beauty and it adds immune support. Also, nobody I know adds gold leaf on home cooking. If you are getting gold leaf on your food outside of a michelin star restaurant or directly from a really highly trained chef that has worked in michelin star restaurants, then it probably is just tacky. But if someone really knows what they are doing, gold leaf can just be that extra final touch that really makes the plating feel more luxurious than it already is. Emphasis on ALREADY. If the dish isn't luxurious to start with, gold leaf isn't going to do anything but make the dish pretentious.

>>17270682
Anything. It doesn't add anything.

>>17270739
Yes but having brown eyes is ALSO a white trait, it jts just not a solely white trait, having blue eyes doesn't guarantee you're any whiter than someone with brown eyes.
You could be pure white lineage as far back as recorded human history goes and still have brown eyes, that doesn't make you less white than someone with blue eyes.

>Why do poors get so mad at expensive things?

i've seen several professional chefs criticize the price of wagyu. it's just a meme food.

>>17272494
Again, no one says it isn't forensics as fuck or overpriced outside of Japan.

But so are a lot of things, no one is telling you to replace 100% of the beef you eat with A5 wagyu. They're just saying it's worth trying it one time as an experience, even if it's pretty expensive.

Just like I don't recommend you buy $2000+ bottles of scotch, but I wouldn't really see a problem with a scotch drinker paying $100-200 to taste a shot or two of that expensive scotch when at a high end restaurant or bar that happens to serve it.

It's well worth it to experience certain things even if you can never afford to regularly have them.

well I guess you're right. I don't understand that aspect of spending 100 dollars for a shot. Or buying expensive ass liquor.

Checked. They can withstand a little bending obviously but once you hit thirty folds it's excessive and going to degrade the quality of your stake. A good rhyme to remember is "25 and below, you're ready to go" and "thirty and one, your steak is fucking done"

Even though Im sure there are a handful of good NA liquors, the market has become absolutely flooded with $40 bottles of watery tea drinks that do not match the flavor profile of booze whatsoever. I wish there was some regulation on this shit because its a neat idea to make cocktails without alcohol because you can focus more on flavor rather than hiding alcohol.

And the NA beer category is actually a great price and product if you dont rely on macro brews. Its just dumb that "mixologists" cant come up with anything besides water, cinnamon, and brown food coloring.

>>17269388

I actually lived in Japan and used to work in a grill restaurant where you could order wagyu up to $375 so pretty good. I was a proud corn fed American but holy shit the first christmas I spent in Japan while employed by the restaurant, the gift from the restaurant owner/head chef to the staff (there were only like 8 of us - it's not a big operation due to its exclusivity) we all got 200 gram wagyu steak prepared for us with the usual garments and fine wine and whiskey. The drinks were separate, you're not supposed to have alcoholic beverages when you eat wagyu because they might overpower the tender taste of the meat.

The meat was awesome. I come from a family with large bbq heritage in Kansas. That's how I initially got the job, I had extensive experience working in a grill environment using high quality meat. But the kind of wagyu we served in Japan is in another league. Obviously at $300-375 it should be, and it is. It's not meant as an everyday meal, the average customer has it maybe once in their lifetime, we didn't get many recurring customers because most people came in for a top quality steak to make their trip to Japan more memorable. I was there mainly for the American customers, as most of them felt more comfortable spending $375 on a steak when they can ask freely about the meat and its preparation. As many of you know the Japanese don't really speak English well enough to spark much confidence.

While it is considered rude and poncy, we did have a small recurring customerbase consisting of mainly American corporation CEOs/Regional managers and others who make six figures a year. None of them were Japanese of course, but these guys didn't care about the ethics. Too rich to be bothered. Nice people otherwise, had a great time with many of them, but it's just bad manners to frequent a high tier restaurant. In Japan they perceive it as your food being average or regular, not something to savor for a lifetime.

Are you stupid or something?

I’ve never had actual wagyu but I made a ribeye steak last night that was labelled “American Kobe”. It was manager’s special 50% off because it was a bit oxidized. It had the most marbling I’ve ever seen personally in a steak. Seared it in a ripping hot pan and made a little pan sauce afterwards. My favorite part of the meal sadly was the pan sauce. It really wasn’t all that special.

>>17269983
Highly doubt. A5 BMS 12 is usually $200/lb and up, I can get it for about $100/lb and I know people. There's not a chance you're getting it for $40 unless it's a friend that is just being nice and gifting it to you. No butcher is gonna import it for that much and take a loss like that unless it's already spoiled.

It's remarkable how much stock deboonkers are putting in the literal side-by-side comparison of things like slight differences in color or face shape when so many factors like lighting, camera color grading, lens type and focus, angles, and more can dramatically influence how something presents in the final image. This is not even to include a decade's worth of weight-loss, hormonal and lifestyle changes that alter hair growth patterns, beard thickness and darkness, and so on.

Even if it wasn't really him, why try to tear down a feel-good image? What do you get out of it? Even if it inspires or brightens the day of a single person, isn't it worth believing a little white lie?

Olive oil in general is a scam and price is not necessarily an indicator for quality. So I agree.

There is definitely a difference between cheap tea and more expensive tea. Haven't had extremely expensive high end tea, but I assume there is some sort of diminishing return at some point.

Actual Kobe Wagyu beef is top tier and I luckily got to eat some in Japan a few years ago. The problem is that tons of restaurants false advertise their beef as Kobe wagyu. More often its Wagyu cows but not from Kobe and you can really tell.
