Exactly - à chacun son goût as Canadians say! Within the last couple of years we've had the chance to sample the best beef offered by Argentina (and Australia) and have sampled Wagyu beef as well. Would we say we can't stand it? No, we're obviously not as discriminating as you.

Yet our own preference is still grain-fed U.S. (or Alberta) beef, while realizing it's simply a matter of personal preference. We're pleased we can now buy Certified Angus Beef (a similar marketing program to Sterling Silver, which we've experienced on HAL cruises), at a market just up the road from us.

It's a worthy topic to debate, but it's doubtful that, for example, the grass-feed advocates will convince the grain-fed advocates, or vice-versa.
