How sure are we that Kobe beef is tastier then the pink slime.
How sure are we that Kobe beef is tastier then the pink slime. Kobe beef is certaintly less healthy. Did they ever do a double-blind test, against McDonalds like the Judgment of Paris (https://plus.google.com/112065430692128821190/posts/KSj9rB6rc3k)?

You cannot buy Japanese Kobe beef in [US]. Not in stores, not by mail, and certainly not in restaurants. No matter how much you have spent, how fancy a steakhouse you went to, or which of the many celebrity chefs who regularly feature “Kobe beef” on their menus you believed, you were duped. [...] If you had real Kobe beef in this country in recent years, someone probably smuggled it in their luggage.

In Japan, to be Kobe requires a pure lineage of Tajima-gyu breed cattle [...]. The animal must also have been born in Hyogo prefecture and thus raised on the local grasses and water and terroir its entire life. It must be a bull or virgin cow [OZ: like a British princess], It must be processed in a Hyogo slaughterhouse – none of which [is certified by USDA]
