Battle of the Meats- Cookyn with Mervyn

[ptechnix]

On the Saturday just passed, that being yesterday, we had a wonderful time partaking in another session of Cooking with Mervyn. Or to be more accurate, The Cooking with Mervyn Show, hosted by the lovely Amanda. Giving credit where credit is due given that she doesn't share in the session's eponymous title but yet contributes just as much

Hey Merrill!

Nice post... love the captions... 'cept for mine! I thought you would've taken one of the girls at your table scribbling away, instead of me! :p

Anyway, adding you to my friends list - figure it's about time I stopped stalking. ;p

PS I thought I heard something mentioned about how Kobe and Wagyu are the same, just known by different names in different places - but I could be wrong - I don't have a reputation for paying attention in class. ;p

Hey Nic! Well you just had this determined air of studiousness to your note taking that I simply had to capture :)

And I've added you back! Kobe and Wagyu are the same, in the same way that Parma Ham and Prosciutto are the same, and how Champagne and sparkling wine are the same. But due to international trademarking, only the product that is produced from that particular region can use the name. But I'm assuming the exact method of preparation from the original country that pioneered it would just a tad different? Though admittedly I probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart in a blind taste test. But Kobe beef just sounds fancier, more expensive, and elitist :)

Yeah, I guess you're right about the place of product origin that determines what it's called. Wagyu's been bastardised so much it's rather commonplace now. Every damn restaurant serves a wagyu beef burger or something or other.

I wait for the day someone tries to sell a Kobe beef burger. ;p
