Yeah, seemingly there's 'knock-off' Wayu's kicking around. Can't remember the show on the telly. I've been saving up for the last 5 years for a good Wayu steak 🤣. Canny beat a good Angus burger 😁 Good review.
Now then Gareth I never leave comments but I left one last time for you and just felt had to leave you another your reviews mate are so relevant to people on a budget especially with food prices as they are but you are down to earth bloke who I watch and actually listen too and be honest you influence what I buy and you get everything spot on that's because you represent the normal working class people so please keep going you are growing in subscribers and long may that continue cheers pal 👍
the way you describe it, it reminds me of the original own brand farm foods burgers. when you fried them from frozen, they thawed out in the pan and almost liquified before your eyes. they were so bad, we nicknamed them SLURRY BURGERS. they were so bad we had to pour the out of the pan straight into the bin. it was a waste of £1, after the first 4 we tried to cook we chucked the remaining 16 away. yup, £1 for 20 burgers. we were not sure what to expect from that but either way, we couldnt insult the kids with them, so it was a chippy supper that night instead.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have eaten Wagu Beef Kobe Steak original to Japan several years ago. It was bloody gorgeous. It wasn’t cheap. Company do in London 8 years or so ago. The Wagu beef in the U.K. is usually reared in Scotland. The price is a darn sight cheaper than the £200 or so for a 400g Kobe steak in the U.K. However if you go to Thailand Kobe steak is readily available and quite cheap according to friends who have been. I never have. Me, Aldi will do. I love the Wagu burgers they do. Additionally I work for the company that prints The Sauce Shop labels - that ketchup is gorgeous
Just like Angus meat, waghu once it's minced and had additives to it, it looses it's real flavour and texture. Making burger patties from it is just a way to sell scrap meat labeled something fancy. I'm looking forward to seeing you make some burgers with the press Gareth. I have a single 10cm one. A huge pattie, but it allows for shrinkage during cooking so you end up with a half decent sized burger. Another good burger review today Gareth. Keep them coming 👍🤤😀 Cheers
I had wagyu when I went to the world Cup in Japan and it was delicious, bloody expensive but delicious. Never found it to taste the same over here . Great video as per mate .
Hi Gareth- I love your auctioneer routine! These looked ok but you found them disappointing and wouldn't have them again. Thanks for this vid. Have a great weekend. 😋
As someone that is lucky enough to live in Asia I have had some awesome Wagyu in Japan. But it seems that Wagyu outside of Japan is often not of the same standard.
@@ThatsWhtasUp it's British Wagyu. There are farms in the UK selling these to supermarkets. I don't think wagyu has protected status like Kobe beef but as I recall the export of the cows from Japan hasn't been allowed for a long time, so I've no idea how truly 'authentic' these wagyu cows are. It might be the result of cross-breeding. A lot of it is in how they're reared anyway , so much of this will be marketing and won't necessarily make for a better quality burger. The fact that it has things like tapioca starch in it is not impressive, given that their basic Oakhurst frozen burgers are 99% beef with seasoning.
@@PotatoPirate123 yeh there’s a big difference between the wagyu and the proper Japanese bred Kobe beef which is insanely expensive. Plus Kobe beef only comes from japan and has to be imported. Theres a CZcams channel called the Bearded Butchers who had some Kobe beef imported to their farm in America and i dont think they would disclose how much they paid for it, but they said it was the most expensive steak they had ever eaten in their lives. The Kobe beef steak looks more fat than meat but because the marbling that keeps the meat so tender because the fat melts and tenderises the beef.
Hi Gareth. Thanks for another informative review. The wagyu stuff is becoming very popular these days. As you say, it seemed like an unusual texture of meat. Maybe better off buying the Aberdeen Angus burgers. At least you are paying for quality. Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from an overcast Scotland.
Best generally available supermarket burgers I've tried are the Tesco ones (behind the counter) done on a charcoal bbq. They are 6 oz. Maybe they are the ones you mentioned in your vid? Think they're 100% ground chuck steak but not sure. I aspire to have A5 grade Wagyu steak one day but the price is just too crazy. The best Argentinian steak is superb too and a third of the price (which is still astronomical!). Thanks for your upload sir.
great review buddy. have you tried the aldi gastro sfc thigh burgers yet, you really must as their amazing.p.s. the buns are great for 99p as everywhere else its 2pound. you really need a cast iron griddle pan for burgers and a smasher just to flat em down a bit.
Great video. I love these burgers and buy them regularly, and to be honest I don’t buy any other burger. They have a really beefy flavour and a buttery taste. I’m suprised you don’t like them very much, but appreciate we all have different tastes. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Gareth great review, So many Burgers on the market today, thanks for your honesty, I be giving this one a miss . One thing I will say the bag lettuce you used always give it a wash first , they spray it with chemicals before the pack it . Thanks for last night’s live show. My good lady and I really enjoyed it. 🍻👍👍
The best burgers i get are always from my local butcher. He hand makes them with the off cuts which means there’s always a good fat and meat percentage inn the patties. Tbh if you a burger out of low fat content mince beef they don’t actually taste that nice because burghers are supposed to have a good fat content to keep them moist. Don’t if you’ve heard of him but there’s a Worcester based craft butcher called Scott Rea and hills channel is called “the Scott Rea project” and you should see how he makes his own burgers and sausages. Just watching is enough too get your taste buds going and he’s a brilliant old school butcher. He still uses old cuts that many butchers chuck these days. Pig trotters, pigs head,beef, pig, lamb innards which he makes stews, etc. all good quality perfect edible animal parts we just throw away these days. Just madness.
Yes tried these mate, they do have that strange taste and not much texture, like you said the fresh gourmet burger from Tesco, very tasty 👍 cheers, keep up the good work.
Hi, thank you for the great content. The tomato ketchup test confirmed my suspicions. Would you be able to do the same thing with mayonnaise? Hellman’s vs Heinz Vs Aldi Vs Others. Would make excellent content 😀😀😀
Gaz, I don't think you have Sainsbury's do you? Oddly enough, I was going to recommend the Finnebrogue Wagyu beef burgers from Sainsbury's (£4 for 2). Would be interesting to hear you compare them to these. Also, big love as always, but watching looaads of your vids, why do you keep your oven chips so anemic?! 🤣. Cook em proper Gaz! If they aren't brown there's no Maillard effect! Brown = flavour. 😜❤️
Their fresh wagyu burgers are interestingly 340g uncooked. Different ingredients(beef 95%) and more fat give them a much better taste! Literally just got back and had two,got them at 30%off so saved a quid off of the £3.29 price. Also on the subject of those tgi Friday burgers you said on the ingredients they had ethanol....perhaps that was the odd taste as I've never come across ethanol in meat like that.
Another good heads up Gareth , it looks like you got a Wagyu box but not the burgers . Do you ever dry or wet brine your steaks , or add bicarbonate of soda to your mince beef or dry salt brine it ? Just wondering 👍
Good review. Gareth I was expecting them to be top notch. They don't seem to have any bite to them l likes you would get with a cheap burger. Sometimes we make our own using coarse ground skirt from the butcher's.
Aldi have rectangle crumpets, you put them in the toaster and when they pop up you can grab them with your hand insted of stabbing them with a knife, game changer!! ko gee
Definitely be given these ago great review as usual mate. Not sure if you have a spar down there but if you do have a look for there limited edition British pork chorizo sausage's you wont be disappointed there Spot on 👊
Yeh there’s a spar by me and they just started selling their own meat range and the products are beautiful. They had fresh burgers 2 for 3 pound i think and their gorgeous, I’ve had their rack of bbq ribs which were nice and the other night we had a deep fill chicken and mushroom pie which was lovely. About 3 inches thick with proper thick fluffy pastry with some potatoes, mixed veg and gravy i had half the pie, I couldn’t move after I was so stuffed🤣
Gareth been to Iceland by your recommendation I just bought the prawn breaded burgers I said in the store about you he laughed and said CZcams the rest is history....👍😊
Give the Aldi cheese and onion quarter pounders a bash. They are in frozen and are about £2.80 for 4. Really liking them and recently stocked up as no doubt they’ll disappear at some point. Really tasty and they don’t have that fermented ingredient in them that’s put you off the last few you looked at.
Thanks for this, hubby will save his pennies now as I know he wouldn't like this after your reaction. I know when you don't make your usual noises when eating meat that you are not very keen, brilliant videos, keep up the good work
So this video is Before your Friday night live session .. lol what a quality night , you were great.. Hope you have recovered mate.. Should have done a hang over breakfast video ! Brilliant viewing .. Thanks
They would be made from all the scraps and trimmings when they butchered the carcass - not from the steak. Would love you to make your own burgers. Best I EVER had were made by the sister in law. Extra lean beef mince, a little grated onion, a touch of cumin, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder - they were delish. Can't remember if someone sent you a burger press? x
Great review, as always Gareth. 👍 It hasn't done too badly if it only lost 35 grammes in cooking as most of that would have been the fat and water binding it all together. Maybe Aldi should be marketing this as 'wagyu-style' burgers if they are not as 'melt in your mouth' as they say they are.
Gareth it was sacralige what you did to that burger covering that with cheese and why not use a nice cob , the best of British. In Japan they play music to the cows during it's life span.
Here's a tip next time you do a steak or burger. Get a oxo cube on a bowl. Pour on say 4 table spoon of olive oil. Break down the oxo in the oil. Then pour the rub onto each side of your steak or burger. It will be best you've ever had. 1 oxo for 2 steaks.
I’ve heard this mentioned before. Going to have to try this. Similar to velveting chicken before cooking it. Once started doing that was a game changer. 👍
@@racingspoon yes. You can get a lamb cube and do same with lamb. Honestly it will be the best thing you've ever done. Bang some salt on. Leave an hour. Then bang your oxo rub on. Straight in pan. Perfection.
Thanks Dan ill have too try that. Can you do it with vegetable oil because i dont like cooking with olive oil as one it changes the complete statu of the olive oil and two your not even supposed to heat or cook in olive oil. Thats a big mistake we make in this country frying and cooking with olive oil. It’s supposed to be used to make dressings or covering your salad but lots of people think its a healthier alternative to frying with veg oil.
Yeh beef Pattie is the real terminology. Now a burger is different because its the whole thing with the bun and salad that makes a burger but the meat on it’s own is known as a ground beef Pattie as the Americans call them.
@@jayclifton5812 don't mention it. At least you know the difference between the terminology of a burger and beef pattie. Either that or your thick as FK🙂
I tried these Gareth, nice soft texture, but tasted to me like an unseasoned meat loaf. Not good in my opinion. Sainsburys 4 fresh quarter pounders are nicer tasting and less expensive for four burgers. I know the comment is late, but I've only just tried them 👍👍
Would you mean crumbly maybe , not so much powdery? Our local butchers does 6oz louisiana burgers for £1.20 each....they are the best burgers I've ever tasted.
@@BaldFoodieGuy that's a shame they were not as tasty as you expected, still at least you tried them once and don't have to bother again. Yeah, the butchers burgers were fantastic, really meaty with a little touch of heat in them, myself and the better half love them. 😋
I must admit it does irritate me when companies use, and therefore ride on the reputation of speciality goods. Wagyu (pron. wag you) literally means 'Japanese beef' yet it is clearly not. Just my bonnet-bee lol I won't go into the rice koji ingredient, but I suspect that that is the unusual background 'umami' taste you're picking up on. Kind of like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. Great review as always, but I don't think I'll be going with this burger lol.
Gareth, you may wish to let your viewers know that Iceland are doing an over 60's 10% discount starting next week. From their T&C's "The 10% discount is only available on a Tuesday, during store opening hours, from 24th May 2022 until 24th July 2022. Valid proof of identification must be shown at the point of purchase in order to receive the over 60s 10% discount, which shall include any one of the following: 1. Senior Bus Pass. 2. Driver’s License. 3. The Senior Railcard. 4. Freedom Pass." Every little helps as they say.
Just been to Aldi. Much better experience than Lidl. It was quite messy and like playing Jenga because they put all the different varieties of the same product in one box. I did find the gastro sizzler wings though and some other interesting stuff.
Trouble with Aldi they get too busy well the one in my town does. Sometimes can’t even find a parking space to park, which i way i end up shopping in Lidl.
@@matty6848 never had that problem. The carpark is within a shopping park. Didn't even have to queue which amazed me lol. It was busy too. I've not tried the wings but I opened the bag. They look promising but there's some weirdly shaped ones in there.
Gareth that Wagyu maybe as some have said , a marketing con , I see Burger King advertising Aberdeen Angus beef , but then you read tiny print at the bottom that it maybe from a crossbreed , a crossbreed isn't a pedigree .
Tried Wagyu before but found them incredibly fatty! Set the grill on fire! I like the Iceland burgers! Normal or Aberdeen Angus! Personally I prefer Aberdeen Angus every time!
That's the point off them..some off em are like 80% fat marbling..I like fat and I'm sure I would enjoy one as a treat but the fat is definitely overkill for you average person..I think restaurant's in Japan they just sorta give you 5/6 thin slices off it with other foods..cheers
Yeah, seemingly there's 'knock-off' Wayu's kicking around. Can't remember the show on the telly. I've been saving up for the last 5 years for a good Wayu steak 🤣. Canny beat a good Angus burger 😁 Good review.

This sort of wagyu is 'wagyu-style' anyway as they're bred in the UK and not really close in quality and marbling to the proper Japanese meat.
Saw these yesterday
Gareth, Hellmann's have a new cheese flavoured , squeezeybottle, sauce out. Well worth a try, on your burgers.

@@matty6848 yes or maybe even melted butter
I apologise for eating with my mouth full, Brilliant Gareth 😀
haha cheers Nick
I’m glad ya call them burgers 🍔 and not a pate .. that makes me think of cow pats for some reason lol
😂😂😂😂
Yeh beef Pattie is the real terminology. Now a burger is different because its the whole thing with the bun and salad that makes a burger but the meat on it’s own is known as a ground beef Pattie as the Americans call them.
@@matty6848 thanks for the run down 🐄 give yourself a pat on the back 👍🏻💯
@@jayclifton5812 don't mention it. At least you know the difference between the terminology of a burger and beef pattie. Either that or your thick as FK🙂
As we have all the fillers in other burgers it's weird having anything else.
Filler or thriller lol
yes not good
I tried these Gareth, nice soft texture, but tasted to me like an unseasoned meat loaf. Not good in my opinion. Sainsburys 4 fresh quarter pounders are nicer tasting and less expensive for four burgers. I know the comment is late, but I've only just tried them 👍👍
You weren't wrong about those burnt ends you reviewed. Had them last night
so good arnt they yum
Its err sort of "Granular" Gareth, is word you looking for!!
mushrooms on a burger sounds so wrong... but try beetrot and a egg burgers onions and cheese #winner
No wagyu for me, I think. I do like those plates, are they M&S?
What on earth is that lol,gonna have to try it.
Have you tried Aldis fresh Wagu Burgers Gareth? They're the best burgers I've ever had!
ive not no sorry
@@BaldFoodieGuy Def give them a try you won't be disappointed 😊 Have a google on them and check out the reviews ;)
Sir Rodger Moor , fav snack , scotch egg and tomato sauce , sounds good what do you think for a video ?
Sounds like a plan 👌👌😋
Would you mean crumbly maybe , not so much powdery? Our local butchers does 6oz louisiana burgers for £1.20 each....they are the best burgers I've ever tasted.
Yes probably James quite fine though. There was a strange taste I was picking up. I wasn't keen on it. That's a good price pal.
@@BaldFoodieGuy that's a shame they were not as tasty as you expected, still at least you tried them once and don't have to bother again. Yeah, the butchers burgers were fantastic, really meaty with a little touch of heat in them, myself and the better half love them. 😋
How much for the tomato sauce, you left about 20p worth on your knife, no serious great vlog again
thanks 😋👍👍
I must admit it does irritate me when companies use, and therefore ride on the reputation of speciality goods. Wagyu (pron. wag you) literally means 'Japanese beef' yet it is clearly not. Just my bonnet-bee lol
I won't go into the rice koji ingredient, but I suspect that that is the unusual background 'umami' taste you're picking up on. Kind of like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. Great review as always, but I don't think I'll be going with this burger lol.
Shio Koji, A Fermented Moldy-Rice Marinade
Yes I don't like it at all Nick
For whatever reason (I think its the cooking time/temperature rise curve) cooking from frozen never gets the best out of meat.

brilliant yes next Iceland video i do i will mention it 😀
Funnily enough am not long back from ALDI and noticed these thinking they were new
How's your head today, last nights live was great 👍
yes still recovering Kevin lol
I wasn't quite so sharp this morn but I blamed you so I'm in the clear . So if you meet my wife it's all on you and I owe you one !
they look nice but again they shrink down to nowt 👍
yes not for me Sarah had a strange taste
Just been to Aldi. Much better experience than Lidl. It was quite messy and like playing Jenga because they put all the different varieties of the same product in one box. I did find the gastro sizzler wings though and some other interesting stuff.
cheers Matt
Trouble with Aldi they get too busy well the one in my town does. Sometimes can’t even find a parking space to park, which i way i end up shopping in Lidl.
@@matty6848 never had that problem. The carpark is within a shopping park. Didn't even have to queue which amazed me lol. It was busy too. I've not tried the wings but I opened the bag. They look promising but there's some weirdly shaped ones in there.
Good god excited over a burgger😆
🤣
Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes....
Gareth that Wagyu maybe as some have said , a marketing con , I see Burger King advertising Aberdeen Angus beef , but then you read tiny print at the bottom that it maybe from a crossbreed , a crossbreed isn't a pedigree .
Hiya mate , Where have you gone for the past two days as I’m really missing your daily Vlogs Xx
I've been posting every day x
Yeah take the lettuce out! As uncle Roger says: vegetables taste like sad. 😂😂😂
haha yes
Tried Wagyu before but found them incredibly fatty! Set the grill on fire! I like the Iceland burgers! Normal or Aberdeen Angus! Personally I prefer Aberdeen Angus every time!
A.A. - Ditto 👌
That's the point off them..some off em are like 80% fat marbling..I like fat and I'm sure I would enjoy one as a treat but the fat is definitely overkill for you average person..I think restaurant's in Japan they just sorta give you 5/6 thin slices off it with other foods..cheers
Have to agree with you on Iceland's Luxury Aberdeen Angus burgers, my burger of choice
Unfortunately 99% beef doesn’t mean 99% meat 😉
Alice joke is only for us of a certain time….😂👍..
Haha yes lol
💜👍💜👍🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔
My husband said the best burger he's had for a while is that 99% beef he loved it
yes that gourmet kitchen was the bees knees
