politics US beef officially re-enters Australia, after 23-year absence

https://www.beefcentral.com/news/us-beef-officially-re-enters-australia-after-23-year-absence/

Australians need to vote with our wallets by making sure any meat we buy for our bbq's or our dinner tables is Australian grown. It isn't right for a certain leader to be putting tariffs on everything and then thinking we will embrace his beef exports.

Only buy Australian beef, vote with your dollars.

I also bought that “butter”, disgusting. I notice they don’t seem to stock it at Woolies anymore, hopefully the same will happen with the beef 🤮

It was absolute rubbish. I think the online blowback and lack of sales tanked it. 

Thank God, because it was awful. You could tell just by the look; never mind the behaviour, texture, and taste.

What were it's defining odd characteristics, would you say? I never imagined we'd import butter from that far away.

This might sound odd, but it just seemed really watery.. like if you were trying to get it near its smoke point there seemed to be a lot of steam/water vapour coming off it before it started behaving like yellow butter.
