Oh it is true. On average US beef costs about 1/5 more than their NZ counterparts if you buy them from meat distributors. If a kilo of New Zealand fillet costs about HK$250, it will be over HK$300 or more for US fillet.

Hmmmmmmm...
Could it be that here in NZ we keep all the good stuff for domestic consumption and ship the rest overseas? (seems unlikely but hey -- we are, after all, DownUnder, and everything works opposite down here...)
I've eaten the best beef that Montana and Texas and Alberta can offer, and I much prefer NZ beef by a very long shot. Ozzy beef is just as nice.
I guess it just proves that there is no accounting for taste. To each his own: I would hate to be a vegetarian anyrate!
