Hundreds of ways of doing it I'd say.

Every know and again I like to indulge by making mince with yorkshires and chips (very unhealthy I know but so what)

I think they key ingredients are well softened onions (almost burnt) and of course a generous dollop of Worcester sauce.

captncool - Worcester sauce is ALWAYS in my spice cabinet. Shove in two or three shakes early on - you won't regret it

OHHHHH YESSSS! The ultimate larder ingredient! It goes in my homemade stock, so makes its way into most food actually.

Beef minced up - used for burgers, spag bol, shepherd's pie etc.

That was mincemeat (one word) as opposed to mince (beef, pork or lamb minced). Mincemeat originally contained meat, a practice which stemmed from the Middle Ages. There was a huge cross over with sweet and savoury and food tended to be highly spiced. The modern mincemeats usually contain suet. You might find this link to be of interest (scroll down for mince pie)

Never heard of having that lot put together before, but it sounds lovely, bloody wrong, but lovely.

1. Shepherd's pie
2. Kofta meat balls
3. Spag bol
4. Spag with meatballs
5. Moussaka
6. Home made burgers

The above is just a selection of some of the things I do with mince, depends on what kind of mince it is too !

Thanks for the explanation. The link is interesting. Though I shudder at the thought of a sweet fish pie .

Here's a recipe for Dutch meatballs.

Don't know where my mum got the idea from, but if she's cooking mince for cottage pie, she adds a tin of haggis to it, of all things! Spices it up a little and thickens it, too. Really tasty.

Thanks for the link Breppo, I will certainly try these as they have your seal of approval! Interesting to note the use of mace, this used to be a very common ingredient in English food but has dropped off the radar in recent times. I think it was the Dutch who first introduced the spice to Europe, am I correct? It is strange that we haven't got a tradition of meatballs in our culinary history, our nearest being faggots which are first cousins to crepinettes.
