beef

kobe beef burgers at lunch today. they taste more like normal beef burgers than i'd thought. these also had remarkably little flavour -- my hypothesis is that they weren't cooked enough. burgers need a total of a half inch or more of cooked meat in them, so a half-inch burger needs to be almost fully-cooked, with only a thin stripe of pink in the middle in order to have a rich, round, beef-y taste to them.
