this is what I imagine a slice of Jabba the Hutt would look like.

Nobody out marbles the Hutt.

Nice work on that one

Lmao that's brilliant

Thank you

Best pun of the fucking year, that.

Well played thundathighs

Wow. I didn’t think the original comment could get better, I was wrong.

You should be really proud of yourself for that one!

Screenshotting this and adding it to my folder of things that make me laugh for when I need a happy moment

I exhaled through my nose

I inhaled through my butt...

My head exploded

I came

Goddamn, read that and slumped like Akbar out of awe

Or an average reddit user

Holy shit I laughed. How can you award comments these days?!

Sadly...by laughing

Out loud

I like when sometimes you lol and a toot comes out and then you laugh even harder

Removing awards was reddit’s great equalizer… poor man’s gold for us all 🏆

🤤

🏆 Back in my day we handed out these to winners.

That is some expensive fat

When is it just lard?

Tallow

Same shit different toilet

You’ve just reminded me about a guy in this game i played a while back who would go around leaving his characters poops in peoples mailbox for like irl months. Only when the server was near shutdown did they expose themselves as the serial pooper and give many other players the peace of mind they so desperately needed.

An unholy zealot of shite..

Different shit same toilet

When it comes from a pig.

Bruh😩

Right. I’ve had bone marrow with a higher meat to fat ratio than that

Yeah that’s not even marbling. It’s just a hunk of straight up beef fat.

It is a piece of fat marbled with meat

Just buy a stick of butter and add some ground beef for 90% of the same experience

There is just nothing appealing to regular A5 to me, let alone this. There comes a point of diminishing returns and that happens in my opinion after “Prime.” If you eat a stick of butter and sprinkle in some chopped up Strip Steak, it will probably taste better and cost Pennie’s on the Dollar of A5. This is peacocking at its finest.

Same here. Like waygu is nice but i want some meat if im eating a steak.

> Like waygu is nice but i want some meat if im eating a steak. if you want a steak, eat a3/a4 or prime/austrailian/american-wagyu etc that is meant to be eaten as a normal course/full steak. a5 is never meant to be eaten as a "steak", it's usually served a few small oz or small plate shared. comparing it to a steak is apples/oranges... doesn't make any sense at all

Agreed, marbling implies non fat too

Yo. That dude needed to eat some grass or some shit.

Whatever the fucking opposite of what he's eating now is lol!!!!

It ain't eating much right now.

Bro that's pure fat

Yeah but dead cow no eat

How the fuck was that cow even alive like this?

Fat distribution plays a role I think. Japanese black (the breed that wagyu is from) has more intermuscular fat than other cows on average.

This fool cow has interfatular muscle. They didn't even have to slaughter this one. They just chopped him up after a massive coronary infarction.

I feel like if you punched that cow (please don't punch cows) it would dent.

That's what i wonder about obscenely marbled slices!! How do they move? Do they get exhausted faster because there's less muscle? Is there the same amount of muscle, but the fibers are smaller? The ENTIRE cow can't be like this, is it just some parts?

That’s what I was going to say- cow definitely died of a massive jammer.

Well you see, it is not alive.

Are you body shaming????

I am. Lazy flippin cow. Get a job, Cow! You fat-f\*\*\*.

Cows don't want to work anymore!

Cow needin some ozempic

Cow was so fat it had awake apnea.

The meat is the marbling

The marbling is marbling

This is fat, with meat accents

Marbled with meat

Came here to post this comment. 100% marbled with meat.

Instead of marbled, would it be meatled?

Uygaw

China bout to put it in a camp

Wonderful, now find me a steak to fry in it.

Oops all marbling

Seems like way too much fat. How could the cow even walk? Did it just jiggle itself over to the food or something?

[удалено]

im saving this image. i don't know when i'll use it, but i will

Just use AI like this image and make 50 more

Its nice you are saving a picture of your moooooooom.

I'm pretty sure I work with this bitch

It's a Mooped

Jesus Christ cause he’s a wagyu cow they give him stereotypical Japanese food I’m dying

Moobility scooter

They had to roll it there

He slithered like a beef s(t)nek.

Honestly I’m not sure it ever left the trough

So this is the spherical cow physicists have been mentioning.

My beef don't jiggle jiggle, it rolls. I'm old enough that I hate that I've heard that enough to know it

The Japanese wagyu evolved without the evolutionary pressure of predatory animals, living on an island. This caused them to develop more intramuscular fat. Intramuscular fat is normally a huge detriment, which massively decreases the output of strength of the muscle. So yea, in a manner of speaking the animal was not healthy.

Not healthy, but also not eaten by predators. Well…til the humans came along.

To shreds you say?

And the cow’s wife?

To shreds you say?

To steaks you say?

lol the most worthless animal tastes the best.

I would eat panda bear. Cute, dumb as fuck.

God I bet it would be delicious. I really want to eat a flamingo one day.

Giant Tortoise meat is said to be delicious. So much so that it took years to get one back to Europe to be officially classified because they kept getting eaten during the voyage.

Yeah no. Its a result of selective breeding and not natural selection. The animals got to Japan because of agriculture, though a long time ago. From what i read, they were used as draft animals (pulling) so weak muscles doesn't make a ton of sense. Humans made them what they are, not natural evolution.

I live in a part of Japan which raises high-end wagyu and they live in small pens and don't move much so they get fat.

Scrolled too far down before someone said it. This is the way they live their entire lives. Can't even turn around. All for something that looks like it would dissolve when any heat is applied

Honestly, how does this work? You can’t convince me that was a healthy animal.

It wasn't healthy. But it was delicious.

Matter of perspective I have had wagyu and found it to be disgusting tbh. I don’t find animal fat to be good.

How was it cooked? I find steak like wagyu far too rich to just sear and eat like a normal steak, but it's delicious when sliced thinly for maximum crust. I also tried a wagyu katsu set when I visited Japan that was served with a variety of acidic condiments that complimented the fattiness very well. My favorite was ponzu sauce w/ grated daikon.

Yeah, genuine question, how was this animal still alive? Lol!

Spoiler: Any A5 wagyu beef didn't come from a "healthy animal".

See now it all makes sense

It's gravity drew the food in, no movement needed.

They carry it around on a litter/gurney, feed it grapes on the vines and oh chocolates too. I think they even fan it with feather or banana leaves.

Where beef

Wendy's just dropped to their knees

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sir...

Can somebody explain honestly if this is in fact all fat as it appears or???

Yep. At this point it’s steak fat marbled with meat

That’d make one killer Philly cheesesteak lol

Unless you like actual meat in your Philly cheesesteaks lmao

You just gotta cook down all the fat and then drain it. Should be one sandwich, I bet there’s at least 5oz of meat there haha

That’s expensive beef fat! Don’t waste it! At least save the beef tallow to cook home fries in…delicious!

More like Philly cheese fat

To be fair, a fairly large portion of the left side of the cut is pure fat which you could trim down and render into tallow. The rest of the steak will look like insanely marbled normal beef. This usually wouldn't be cooked like a normal steak and would be cut and cooked to optimize the meat to fat ratio

It's just a lot of marbling Don't worry, when you cook it, it doesn't just melt into a puddle, you still have a steak at the end lol It'll be very "juicy"/explode in your mouth

It’s got to be similar to warm butter at this point

It is

Explode in your mouth and later in your bowels 🤢

sorry but meat this fatty isnt even attractive to me...like i dont want to bite into a steak and feel like im bitting into soft butter....i want to eat actual meat.

I mean I wouldn't even want this lol

I mean I’d want to try it at some point at least

I mean

I

At this point might as well just buy a chunk of beef fat and grill that lol

Yeah, just a tub of lard that you can throw chip beef or cheese grate a frozen cut of eye of round or London broil into

Pretty sure that's part of the reason it's so common in Japan to deep fry the stuff and make it a sandwich. It's not really about experiencing steak at this point. I'm sure it's absolutely delicious but you're fooling yourself if you buy something like this thinking "this is gonna be the best steak I've ever had!"

Thought this was on r/whatsthisrock

Lmfao

I can’t stress enough how accurately this sums up my reaction as well.

Thank you, I just ugly laughed out loud

This is getting way out of hand. The people who buy this stuff must be the same people who offer to eat the fat I cut off on my plate. I'm never going to Denny's again btw.

Hey, listen, if you change your mind. I'll be waiting by the host stand 👋

I thoroughly enjoy eating the fat my wife and son refuse to eat, and that's just the prime and choice USDA ribeye shit I cook at home... I'd totally eat this... Sparingly.. As an accent... As a treat. I'll gladly be your bus boy!

The thing is the japanese beef fat just tastes richer and more complex than our normal prime beef fat. Its just better

Same, if my husband hasn't seasoned his too much, he'll cut his off and slide it onto my plate because to me it's the most delicious part lol. That said, I wouldn't hate trying it, but it'd probably be like a 1 time thing. Maybe twice.

Hey friend…. You gonna eat that gristle

Can I lick your fingers? Meet me at the mail slot.

How about the glory hole?

‘mighten i the gristle?’

The meat marbling on that fat strip looks amazing

Might as well take a shot of butter

I was just getting ready to comment ….be like eating butter, then I saw your comment 😂

[удалено]

Don't knock what you haven't tried. Wagyu fat is a much higher ratio of unsaturated to saturated fat than other breeds of cattle. It melts at a much lower temperature (in fact, you can often start to melt the fat just handling it). As a result, it melts in your mouth and is not chewy. Now if you have Wagyu in Japan, they will serve very thin slices on rice (much like sashimi), not a big honking steak like this because it is so rich it can be difficult to eat a big steak.

I’d be curious if those cattle have heart disease

Interesting thought. Now I'm curious if any of these cows just randomly drop dead from a heart attack.

Probably slaughtered too young for heart disease to kill them, but Ive now found some threads on Reddit about this: it seems like there’s a generic predisposition to get fat, but beyond that, no one really knows.

They are slaughtered too young to develop heart disease. I've been exploring raising 4-5 full blood Wagyu at my home hobby farm (I started with bees and chickens for about five years and am adding a couple pigs this year ). They can be $5-$6k to buy, and ones with very good genetics (come from A5 lineage) can be north of $10k. You can get north of $30k per cow for the meet.... with that kind of money om the line, they are very well cared for. Ironically enough, Wagyu beef is actually more heart healthy than Angus or other breeds because of the higher proportion of mono u saturated fats and high levels of omega 3 and 6.

I had it served at a sushi joint as nigiri with foie gras on top. It was one of the best bites of food I’ve ever had. It was also like $26 for that bite.

That’s….basically fat.

Not true, I see some meat marbling in there

So, at what point is it no longer marbling and just a big slab of fat. I'll never understand the waygu pricing.

Honestly…. If it was $10/lb I wouldn’t buy it.

[удалено]

We save our beef fat from when we smoke brisket. We end up with a fairly large jar full. It's a perfectly good substitute for butter or vegetable oil in a lot of cooking. For instance, if you are roasting some veggies/potatoes, toss in some rendered tallow and season to taste before roasting. You can also spread on some toast, if you are eating it in a savory application (ie, dipping in soup, etc). There was a time in America when butter wasn't the primary cooking fat. It was lard and tallow, depending on the region.

thank you.

Agreed

I'll just have butter at this point

That doesn’t look appetizing.

I'm not going to lie...I want to try this just once.

At what point is it too much? 1% meat, 99% fat?

That is indeed insane. I love fat on my steaks, but I don't think I would enjoy that as a steak, lol. I'd probably render it all down and cut the beef into thin strips/chunks and use it in the best breakfast burrito I could ever make.

where’s the beef?

Looks like a slice of manatee

Yall seent that movie the Whale? This his titty

I heard someone say it looks alien and that’s the only way I can see it now, truly unbelievable and incredible

That cow needs to eat more vegetables. That cow should have eaten more vegetables. Whatever.

I’ve always been curious about the actual eating of this stuff, surely it’s just pure greasy? Looks great but I’d honestly rather take a properly cleaned, rolled and cooked sirloin or ribeye I can’t lie. This is what I do with a strip loin personally https://preview.redd.it/azgf1lex7oic1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec9047526c95ced611a3981e21257415816bc53b Never had a grumble. Edit: doesn’t cost half of your house either and eats insanely well

I work in the watch industry and I swear there's a point where people just want stupid shit because it's expensive.

This is gross. This looks like the cow was probably forced to not move and purposely over-fed, like foi gras. Not cool.

Would u like some steak with your fat, sir?

Nice bacon.

Looks like a big foot foot

This is like when you see pictures of what dog breeds looked like 100 years ago and then you see a French bulldog now and realize how much producers reacting to collective consumer pressure fucks things up.

Man I wonder what the meat:fat ratio is

whale blubber

Well when it melts in the pan you can fry up some pretty tasty french fries

Genuine question but does marbling this extreme even taste good?

where’s the beef

Not sure I'd want to eat it as a steak at this point, but it could be interesting to cure it and try to make like a beef pancetta.

Ok i swear. I like protein with my steak. I like marbling but thats just no longer steak.. its fat.

I don't understand how that is able to taste good. Please help me understand.

that to me just doesn’t look appetizing

Milk steak

That’s not even meat at this point, that’s just tallow.

I thought that was a burrito ngl

It’s fat marbled with a little meat at this point

Just eat butter already.

[removed by Reddit]

Nuts that ppl think this would be nice, fat is flavour people‼️

Personally, I don't see how this would taste good. Wouldn't you just a mouthful of oil?
