It's been just over a year since I've had lasagne, chilli or anything with minced beef in it. But now, thanks to Robert Dyas and the supermarkets, I have been re-united with the glory of lasagne. You see, for a start, the supermarkets are actually selling non-EU beef now. Not totally reliably, but most of the time. Never minced and only sometimes roasting joints, but steak is nearly always available in some form. And after trawling Argos and various department stores for a mincer and only finding big, electric ones I finally found a cast-iron one in Robert Dyas.
After a little bit of getting used to which bits of the meat needed trimming off to make the mincer work happily (no, not the fat but the stringy, sinewy bits which get wound around the blade and choke up the mincing holes) I now have more minced beef in the freezer than it has seen in a year. *bounce*
