Scottish | Kobe Mince
In early 2003 the Old Homestead Restaurant --- a 135 year old steakhouse in the meat packing district of New York City --- launched the first "mega-buck burger." The burger, according to Restaurant Hospitality Magazine, is "made from two 10-oz patties of Kobe beef (with a dollop of herb butter between them) and dolled up with lobster mushrooms and micro greens, the finished item is served up on a Parmesan twist roll. The restaurant menus it as "The World's Most Decadent Hamburger." The price: $41. The number of people who bought one on the first day Old Homestead offered it: 200."

According to the December 13, 2003 Daily Mail, Harrod's has launched Britain's most expensive hamburger. "It will cost you £30," according to the newspaper, "but the cows get massages and pints of beer." The Harrod's Kobe burger costs about £3.50 per mouthful.

Now you can have the "most expensive hamburger" at home, for a fraction of the price. Our Scottish | Kobe mince --- made from fine cuts from beer and grain fed pedigree Highland cattle --- costs only £9.00 per kilogram.
