Wagyu or "Wow-whooo?"

As briefly mentioned in my first post, there are certain "extravagant" ingredients and produce I will explore and taste.
Although I have previously purchased Wagyu, an opportunity occurred yesterday where I was able to purchase this sizeable piece of 21 day aged Wagyu Cutlet (1.042 kg).
Kingsley Meats, the place of purchase, was recommended to me by a school friend who I have reconnected with, via Facebook, after 35 years. Thank you Deborah Hurd. Joel and the boys at Kingsley were very helpful providing good old-fashioned butcher service. Top quality butchers never loose that kind of customer assistance.
My plan for this monster is to take it with us tomorrow, anniversary celebrations still continuing, to an undisclosed to Jen location where I will give it a respecting amount of care and love while preparing it before slapping it on the BBQ for our dinner.
Yet to decide what to have with it. Most likely a Wild Rocket, from our garden, Salad.














STOP PRESS!!

Along with the purchase of the Wagyu chunk, I could not go past handing over some dollars for 5 Black Berkshire Pork Cutlets. Another one of those items you may only find on some restaurant menus. A pack of Berkshire Cured Smoked Bacon also found its way into the basket.
A fair amount of time spent with Chef Google resulted in my decision to serve this for tonight's dinner.

Pan Seared Pork with Braised Fennel, Leek and Bacon, Sweet Potato Puree.
Delicious!!
