FURIOUS BOILING OUTRAGE.

Lean mince is for feeding to pets, and nothing else.

Noooo. No. It goes very well in lasagne, with a nice salad on the side.

Even better is Quorn mince.

Shush you, the point is, they won't notice the difference! And when I'm rich again, I'll buy cream to make scrambled eggs and steak mince for lasagne. Until then, I must downgrade the quality of my ingredients :( Booo! It probably also means I'll have to be more selective when buying local produce :( Budgeting is gay.

Ramsea actually tried to blame my cake making for the food bill. Erm...£20 a week on beer...? Douche bag.

Eat cheap stuff. I lived off tesco value everything while I was at uni to fund my boozing.

I didn't die.

It's fine!

Steak mince is also useless! Buy the cheap shit, because it's the absolute best thing you can use for chilli or lasagne, short of mincing your own.

At the restaurant I work at we mince our own meat for the burgers. It takes forever to mince about 20kg of beef.

Frederick had wanted to pay for the timber with something called a cheque, which, it seemed, was a piece of paper with a promise to pay written upon it. But Napoleon was too clever for him. He had demanded payment in real five-pound notes, which were to be handed over before the timber was removed.

fun fact: Lean meat in general should be used when using a slow cooker, fat does not soak in and nothing evaporates in a slow cooker so all using full fat meat will earn you is a nice layer of scum.

When I make lamb curry I use a spoon to remove the layer of fat at the top, or apparently putting in an ice cube is good because the fat gravitates to it and it's then easy to lift out.

Aaah, excellent idea! I'll try that the next time I make gumbo. The chorizo and various other things leach out a lot of fat, and it's a pain in the arse to skim.

The old time recipes from the cajun dudes say to do this. Seriously. Otherwise the fatty scum just makes it taste oily and horrid.

I agree that fat can be tasty (see: steaks, bacon, belly pork etc), but an oil slick on a gumbo ain't good eatin'.

In the same way that salads aren't always bad, fat isn't always good.

There are many cases when one would which to skim fat from a meal. Delicious paprika rendered pork fat from chorizo is not one of those cases.

Eh?

I was thinking of a slice of roasted belly pork, not anything rendered.

Excessive oils in a stew type dish is manky.
