Just list a country and mince dishes they are famous for or some of the more obscure ones.

* I realise that traditionally some of these may have used leftover meat or chunks but may now be made using fresh mince instead.

England:
Cottage Pie
Shepherd's Pie

Japan:
- Tsumire (minced chicken or pork in soup)
- Hamburg steak (minced beef burger)
- Tsukune (minced chicken meatball or patties)
- Gyoza (minced pork dumplings, very garlicky)
- Menchi katsu (minced meat (beef, chicken or pork) as deep-fried meat croquettes)
- Nikuman (minced meat buns)

I don't know whether to include Gyudon. It's commonly described as minced beef, but it's more like a pile of bashed thinly-sliced beef. Shepherd’s pie and Cumberland pie are pretty popular in Japan, but I don't know if I can count those as well.

There are more, but my brain is licking the mental picture of a nikuman at the moment.

Albondigas - Spain (albeit they're meatballs, but they must start off as mince!)

OK. I will call Gran for her recipe. Very easy and quick to make, and you can vary ingredients and seasonings however you like for the filling. Can make them meat-free for vegetarians, too. Can freeze uncooked filled dumplings and they will keep for six months. No wonder why they are as common as eggs on toast.

You can't beat a good old Cottage Pie when it comes to using mince!

Mexico/Texas: Chili. You can't beat a nice big bowl of chili with some sour cream and nachos. Or even just a few hunks of buttered bread to dip in.

Texas: Armadillo Eggs. Quite possibly one of the best inventions ever thought up.

Stuffed aubergines or courgettes, My mum used to make them sometimes, I preferred the version with aubergines. I think she used tomato sauce, garlic, mince and egg as a binder (there might have been something else in them, not sure).
I think stuffed veg are common in Southern Italy and she is from Campania (not Naples though).

Melanzane ripiene (stuffed aubergines), Zucchine ripiene (stuffed courgettes).
Of course you put the flesh of the courgette or aubergine in the mixture as well.

Gołąbki, which is a Polish dish of blanched cabbage leaves wrapped around cooked minced beef or pork and herbs/seasoning and cooked rice to make cylindrical shapes which are then packed tightly together in a casserole and covered with a tomato-based sauce and baked in the oven for about 30/40 minutes. My Dad was Polish and we ate this regularly. I don't normally like cooked cabbage but can manage it in this format!

I also like Dolmades, which is a Greek dish with a similar stuffing but it is wrapped in vine leaves and flavoured with mint and lemon. I would normally cook these in a pan on the hob as they are so much smaller.

Apparently chilli isn't supposed to be made with minced beef, it's chunks of beef I think. Wasn't it Delia Smith who started the mince in chilli thing? Basically bolognese with chilli in. Had it for my tea tonight mm.

It's Texan chili that's usually made with diced beef (but good quality minced beef is acceptable), and Texan chili usually has no beans either. As for Delia, I'm saying that that's most probably an urban myth of some variety, the Mexicans have been using minced or ground beef in chili since before anyone can remember.
