what connects these two pictures?
one, some very nice looking steaks,
and the second, a handful of chocolate, gummy bears,
strawberries and cream flavoured gummy snakes and regular cow feed? well the sweets are feed to the cows that make the steaks!, the Mayura Station Farm in southern Australia has been
feeding its full-blood wagyu cattle chocolate and other sweets mixed with their
regular feed, and the results have been spectacular, it was the idea of Scott
de Bruin, managing partner at Mayura Station, returned to his father’s farm in
the Limestone coast of Australia, in 1998, he came back from Japan with the
idea, each cow eats up to 2 kilograms of ground and partially broken chocolate
delivered by Cadbury’s every day,
and the idea seems to have worked, making their luxury beef
one of the most appreciated in the world, “Many of my customers come to enjoy
Mayura beef two to three times a week, they love how the beef has the perfect
balance of fat, rich flavour and tender texture,” Michelin star chef Umberto
Bombana told Forbes Magazine, Shane Osborn, Head Chef and Co-Owner of Arcane
Restaurant in Hong Kong, added that its unique sweetness, hint of nuttiness and
buttery texture make Mayura beef “the ultimate steak”, but like most things in life, the best never comes cheap, a typical steak made with Mayura Station’s beef retails at
$288 for a 10.5oz-steak, expensive I know, but it would be nice to try one!
