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

Why don't you comment on food threads then? Do you think you're somehow above the vulgarity of food? Are you better than the rest of us in some way in the matter of comestibles? Have you found a way to live without engaging in the dreadfully boring business of eating?

I don't comment because I'm not really a food buff' i'm not into cooking so don't feel as though it is my place to comment on a subject i am not an expert... now if only WES had the same thoughts about football

But you're perfectly qualified to comment on food. You really mustn't be overawed by Berni's bizarre attitude to mince.

Mrs p is of a foreign, dare I say froggish nature, n'est ce pas? Does she prepare you les repas gastronomique?

[Sir C]

A slice of meatloaf is around the same size as a decent-sized hamburger. Indeed, I’ve been known to stick it in a bun with some sauce and cheese and serve it thusly.

Why would you fúck about with a burger?

[Burney]

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.

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.

I’m not. I’m making a meatloaf sandwich.

It's a compressed mince sandwich.

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

[World's End Stella]

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.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.
