🥘 Savoury Mince… but whose version is the right one?! 😂
I was thinking about putting good old-fashioned savoury mince on our specials menu, but it has sparked quite the discussion in the kitchen, and now I’m not sure which version to make!
It turns out we all grew up with completely different versions!
🥕 In my house: Mince cooked with tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, peas, carrots and corn, served over rice or piled onto toast.
🥔 In Sam’s house: More of a mince in gravy, served with mashed potato and veggies.
🍛 And then there’s my mother-in-law: She’s visiting from Bendigo at the moment, and her version sounds more like chow mein! Mince with cabbage, curry powder and rice all cooked together in the one pot.
Three completely different meals, all called savoury mince!
And now I’m wondering if there are even more variations out there!
So I need your help! What did savoury mince look like in your house growing up?
Was it tomato-based, gravy-based, full of cabbage, or something else entirely? And did you eat it with rice, mash or toast?
I’d love to hear your family’s version, because at this rate I might have to put three different savoury mince dishes on the menu! 😂
