Oh to live the life of a Wagyu cow.
Overlooking the fact theyll eventually be killed for their meat, they live a very charmed life; wearing jackets when its cold and eating as much as they wish.
Thats why Wagyu beef is so expensive, because its reared to very specific standards. Its sometimes called the caviar of the meat world, and typically can retail for up to £500 a kilo in Japan.
However, Lidl are bringing us it for a whole lot less in honour of National Burger Day today, launching their very own Wagyu burger for just £3.49 for two.
The Wagyu Beef Steak Burgers are part of Lidls Deluxe range which is the very best of its food and drink selection, and should bear the trademark marbling of fat that makes the meat so special.

This fat makes the meat melt in your mouth, and gives it a buttery texture.
The burgers available from today, 23 August, but are limited edition, so if youre keen to try them you better hot-hoof it to the supermarket quickly.
Joshua Smith, Head of Meat Buying at Lidl UK, said, We decided to launch our Deluxe Wagyu Beef Steak Burgers on National Burger Day to give customers a delicious reason to celebrate.
Were passionate about giving our customers the ingredients to create their own high-end foodie experiences from the comfort of their own homes.
