So I saw an ad and didn't click on it, but it prompted me to read up a bit anyway.

The subject was Wagyu Beef, and how great it was but also how expensive it was. There is American Wagyu and Japanese Wagyu - and then there is the rarest steak on the planet - the Olive Wagyu, which comes from a little area in Japan with very rare cows. I'm sure most heard of the famous "Kobe Beef" from Japan, which is Wagyu.

So I started at a site checking out all the different options. They only sold American Wagyu. One steak will START at around $99 for the cheaper cuts. Yikes! A sample package will set you back $529! Wagyu hot dogs are $12 for a tiny pack.

Share a strip loin is $539 and a whole ribeye is $649!!

Got me wondering about the Japanese Wagyu!

Japanese Wagyu (Kobe) is $290 for a strip steak. (these aren't restaurant prices!). A whole tenderloin - $1,475

Damn! What about the Olive Wagyu? Apparently you couldn't even get the in the USA until last year sometime. Shoot, looking around and the pricking at the rare restaurant is insane, but can't find it barely anywhere!

$1,200 at Costco but it's massive at least!!
