The British have a love of minced beef which we all know can be turned into many dishes. I recently tried some Lincoln Red beef mince and noted that it had a superior taste, so that’s my recommendation. For those on a tight budget it goes a long way as a Shepherds Pie or in a short crust pie…. cooked simply with dumplings or Yorkshire Puddings and veg…. as a chilli or with pasta.

I caught a news item yesterday about our so called throw away society with regard to excess plastic bags and recycling, food wastage etc. It prompted a debate on how today’s households are run compared to previous generations…. ie women working full time and people generally shopping at large supermarkets once a week, buying too much and then throwing it out. In my opinion teenagers now are unlikely to learn how to cook at school or at home on the whole. With mortgages so high, can young people afford to eat out other than at their local chippie? It all paints a rather sad picture.
