So Charles - did you manage to consume all of it?

You braise mince which has been mixed with breadcrumbs? Or mince on its own?

Both sound vile. As is traditional meatloaf, which is baked. I'm assuming the traditional meatloaf is the Yankee one as as far as I know, no one else eats it.

Well since this is a traditional Tuscan recipe, I’m going to say you’re wrong there.

Well you learn something new every day. Italians make meat loaf. Well, that's Italian food down one notch on the WES rankings.

So what is this Tuscan recipe, braised mince or braised mince with breadcrumbs? And why braise mince? Surely it would be far nicer to braise chunks of the meat used to make mince and let them break apart beautifully with time? I can't imagine why anyone would mince it prior to braising it.
