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

Worse - you mix mince with breadcrumbs and bake it.

Bake? Maybe in your barbarian homelands, but this recipe is braised in the sauce of porcini, tomatoes, wine and porcini steeping liquor. It is quite delicious.

Bake? Maybe in your barbarian homelands, but this game recipe is braised in the sauce of porcini, tomatoes, wine and porcini steeping liquor. It is quite delicious.

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.
