Suffolk Wagyu

seem to remember there was a member here involved in Wagyu production locally, is he still about?

No idea, but I bought a steak from local Aldi, of all places; I was quite impressed. Unfortunately, never seen Wagu there since.

I was rather hoping to find out more about Earl Stonham farms and their Wagyu.
Shame that dontknowanything gave up on them , but I am sure it is a very expensive hobby

In Japan never saw it served as anything but shavings. Had it once served raw which you cook by dipping with your chopsticks into a bowl of boiling broth ( heated over a little burner ) a few seconds in this then you dunk it in a raw egg ( beaten again with your chop sticks first ) and eat without recooking the egg. I was not certain I liked it.

That's called shabu shabu, most of it is good, the egg bit isn't; the Japanese eat a lot of raw stuff, some is alright, some makes me gag. They do eat wagyu in other ways, as a stir-fry, in stews, curries and steaks too - which they general have pretty rare and served pre-sliced so that chopsticks can be used. It can be superb beef, but there is an awful lot of hype around it.
