It's pretty good, I actually prefer less fat. Had some kobe in Japan and it just about melted, a lot of fat. Give me prime or good choice for the most part.

But that Kobe is different than what is here in the states right?

Not a bad price for A5

Don't get me to lying here...I think it was $96 or $98 the last time I looked at $/lb.

That was about a half of an hour after I finished the biscuits this morning. What caught my eye wasn't the price, it was the marbling.

I like my biscuits to have little chunks of cold butter. It "puffs up" in the oven making the biscuits flakier. Like little snowflakes...

It's just like the fat in that picture. Little snowflakes, specs...

Yes. It's a cross breed here.

Kobe is wagyu from a specific area. You can have the same breed here but can't call it kobe because it's not from there.

Yeah that's more in line with what I've seen, why i thought $60 was a pretty good price.
I like fat in a steak, don't like filet much because it's too lean, but it can get too fatty for me as well.

I know Japan doesn't ship it out of country! Per Iron Chief Japan.

The best way I've heard it described was a comparison to Champagne. You can get a great sparkling wine that can taste as good as Champange. But it isn't Champagne unless it's from France.

I believe there are around a dozen places that sell the true Kobe in the states. I recall reading something about it a few years ago. I remember the number was small, but they did exist.

Can you grow Vidalia onions in Texas?

You right I just looked.

Yes, True Kobe Beef (from Japan's Hyogo Prefecture) is sold in the U.S., but it's extremely limited, rare, and only available from a few certified restaurants and online retailers, often requiring documentation or special certification to ensure authenticity, as most "Kobe" in the U.S. is actually other Japanese Wagyu or American beef. Look for the chrysanthemum (Nojigiku-han) trademark and certifications from the Kobe Beef Marketing & Distribution Promotion Association

Nope, would be a sweet onion

Can you grow Vidalia onions in Texas?

Yes and no.

No but the best are from South Ga. By the way, just a little tit- bit about those sweet onions. Those thing will go like a regular one it it sit for a while.

Ya know, those onions start in Texas.

That's about like tomatoes. The ones on Johns Island taste (and grow) differently than those on James Island (as one example) or anything on the mainland

 

[TerryP]

@Krimson as I recall, Texas A&M has something to do with how the Vidalia comes about...

All those sweet onions were tested this was around the early '80. It came out the the Vidalia was the best sweet onions around. The best time is around May. If you are looking for some try Bland Farms here is the web site. By the way, I'm not a big fan of those thing.

I can't tell the difference but Ga monopolized the name. I buy sweet onions. Same with the beef and wine we were talking about, very similar products but someone claimed the name.

Vidalia onions are grown in Vadalia Ga. Hence .............

Noonday onions are grown in Vadalia GA and named Vadailia onions.

Here are the county that grow those Vidalia at and can be called Vidalia.
The thirteen counties include: Toombs (where we’re located), Tattnall, Treutlen, Bacon, Bulloch, Candler, Evans, Appling, Jeff Davis, Wheeler, Telfair, Montgomery, & Emanuel.
Tattnall is the county we live in while I was station at Ft. Stewart. This is one reason I know something about them. I could walk out my back door walk about 50 yard and get them out of the ground.

And the portions of these seven counties: Laurens, Screven, Jenkins, Wayne, Dodge, Long, & Pierce.

Like I said in the above post try and get them from Bland Farms. No I don't get anything from them,

It's kind of like Angus beef, a marketing job for the most part imo. Yes Angus is a good breed of beef cattle but could you tell a difference in Angus and hereford that were fed a similar diet and ended up with similar marbling? I am pretty positive i couldn't but they can charge a premium if it says certified Angus.
