Ironically, I've consistently heard that wagyu is either just mediocre or downright awful, even when prepared properly by a chef. Its reputation seems to be entirely a result of its price making it a symbol of decadence to bourgeois ghouls. It's like how expensive wine is entirely defined by its pricetag and is otherwise materially indistinguishable from cheap wine.
I've only had caviar once, and it was just sort of unpleasant and mediocre. It's just salty, vaguely fish-flavored jelly, less offensive tasting than fish (I don't like seafood) but without any redeeming qualities or purpose to it. I cannot imagine a single person would choose to eat it except out of desperation were it not for the bizarre status symbol aspect.

Bob from Bob's Burgers with the real wine take: "the red pairs nicely with the white"
This sounds fun until you realize the root of "decadence" is "decay". 😥

Would you believe they did the same thing with the Soviet Union and its state-backed caviar and champagne
