Ground, not minced?
Heresy.
Hamburgers can be ground and browned. A Sloppy Joe is neither browned nor minced. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- It's all a matter of user definition. See for instance, this very recent exchange on Ro's page, down at the bottom of the Goodnight Nurse section: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Talk:French_words_in_English/Catalogs. It has a link to the NYT article about a famous English chef and his "mince".... Hayford Peirce 18:04, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- If we can't argue safely about things...that are not in very small doses...what can we argue about? :-)
- Now, another religious war is about the cooking utensil. For a great number of dishes, I use heavy enameled cast iron, Le Creuset that I bought in a better economy — yes, they do mean lifetime warranty. Hash, however, is one of the things that I find cooks best in plain cast iron. Stainless steel, copper, etc., just don't work, although I have some commercial grade, very thick anodized aluminum that can work.
- The cast iron, of course, has to be extremely well seasoned to avoid sticking. Howard C. Berkowitz 18:50, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
