They make them very very happy their whole life, not just at the end. Plus, they feed them beer lees, massage them daily and never allow them any exercise. I've heard the beef is great, but in a year and a half in Japan I never had enough money to try it.

Oh, and I think making Kobe beef burgers is a capital offense. lol
And yes, you can add fat to rib eye to make it a better burger, but why? I like my burgers, but a pan fried rib eye with mushrooms in a nice red wine sauce........

I think it has a lot more to do with the cow it came from. A young cow, milk fed, gives very tender meat. (veal) A dairy cow that has grown too old to produce will give tough stringy meat. Corn fed gives tender, fatty meat, range fed gives tougher, leaner meat....

And PLEASE don't use rib eyes for hamburger! It's a waste of a good steak and doesn't have enough fat to make a decent burger!

Food / Siemieniotka [14]

If you can't find hemp seeds, pot seeds will do. :->
My wife makes it each Christmas. She says it tastes horrible, but it wouldn't be Christmas without it. Her sons both love it so...

As my wife makes it it involves boiling the seeds, grinding them, boiling again, grinding again... repeat as many times as your patience allows.
At the last boiling add some onion, then when it's done salt and pepper to taste.
And she is Śląsk and only makes it at Christmas..

Oh, and throw away what's left of the seeds and the onions. Siemieniotka is the broth.
And my wife tells me I shouldn't say "grind" like meat I should say "hit it and beat it" like a husband
