Dry aged prime corn fed - US

^ This!!!!

More specifically Dry Age Prime Texas Black Angus.

It has been researched and studied that the heat and humidity in Texas allow for the quality of specifically the Black Angus Breed to uniquely excel. The environment, in addition to the indigenous soil and food, provide a level of quality, taste and texture that can't be reproduced and replicated in any other known environments.

I love Grass fed Black Angus.

I am buying Tasmanian GF BA. Grass fed on lush pasture next to the ocean. The Ocean salt spray on the grass imparts a lovely slight saltiness to the meat. Stunning stuff.

Sorry Aussies, you are just saying you like the way coffee is prepared in OZ, not the coffee itself. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Jamaican Blue Mountain, Guatemala Antigua, Hawaiian Kona... now we're talkin' baby.

that is what it sounds like

That makes sense. Our cows get their saltiness from drinking the tears of our enemies!

Bacon is definitely done right in the UK; even the supermarkets sell a great selection of outdoor reared pork.

Whats the famous quote? - "To eat well in England you should have breakfast three times a day."

There's a joke in there somewhere about NZs outdoor reared lamb...

Interesting

Any recommendations of online Australian coffee vendors?

Ruby Fire and Pony blend are fairly common cafe blends here, both are excellent

Panther blend is my current favorite, not for the faint of heart.

my wife says they have the best decaf ever.

Tiger Snake is tasty and cheep

the other blends are best suited to making coffee for grandma.

Death Wish Coffee is said to be the world's strongest coffee.

It is made from robusta coffee beans which are much higher in caffeine than arabica coffee beans. Arabica is the coffee generally used in most commercial coffees and coffee houses.

Death Wish Coffee advertises that their coffee contains 200% more caffeine than a standard cup of coffee. A 12 ounce coffee, brewed using the drip method would contain 217mg, so 200% more would put a 12 ounce serving at 651mg.

Consumers must also follow Death Wish Coffee's brewing instructions to arrive at the advertised caffeine content. They recommend using 2 1/2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee per 6 fl. oz. of water.

This coffee is only for those who have a tolerance for caffeine and who can handle high amounts of caffeine. This just may be the Strongest coffee in the world

I have to disagree, Ken.

I can't comment on Australian coffee, but Japanese and American beef are very, very good. I can get top notch grass-fed organic beef that's really good at even my local Whole Foods. Although I can't eat large quantities of it, Japanese wagyu is far better than the Australian version.

As for corn-fed beef, we definitely have the best here in the States. There is nothing like a dry-aged, corn-fed Black Angus from someone like Pat La Frieda or similar prime meat purveyor.

Absolutely love Australian beef and coffee, especially Melbourne is the best for their coffee's.

I have traveled a great deal and lived some of my life overseas in Europe, and always looked forward to coming home for a coffee.

Even in South America, I was really disappointed with the coffee in Chile and Peru (Can't comment much on the rest of the continent though).

As for beef, this can be arguable and whilst I must say Australian beef is brilliant, I cant really compare it to anywhere else so I will stay out of this potential fight.

Most Oz Wagyu is crossbred with Angus. Good but not great. Our pure Wagyu is excellent but hard to find.

I prefer Argentinean/US grass fed to most of our grass fed. There are exceptions. Came across a smoked,grass fed, dry aged T-Bone. My God.

[Skyfall]

OK, OK, OK.......Enough madness, I'll figure out a way to "smuggle" in the GOOD stuff so you can have a real steak!!!

[Ken Gargett]

merely the messenger. if you disagree with one of the world's great chefs, from england, feel free to take it up with him.

an i would never have posted if i didn't think it would get a bucketload of argument.

[contracorrientes]

I'm only a week back from Argentina, and much to my surprise, all of the beef I tried was so much better than anything I've had here in Australia (and I'm supposed to be on the doorstep of beef country!).

Also to my surprise, the coffee there was, across the board, awful. I had such high expectations of the South American beans, but when you have to scoop 'meringue' or burnt milk skin from your café con leche...

Heston's half right?

[TM-US]

Rob-

I thought it was weird that they crossbred wagyu with black Angus. I wonder if that was for yield.

You all know that a lot of the Japanese waygu never leaves the country.

I personally don't like wagyu as a steak- much better as sukiyaki or shabu-shabu.

A lot of chefs would disagree about American beef, Ken. Always a good discussion.
