What was wrong with minced beef ?

Re: Shredded Cow

I think there is an EU Law that now states that mince beef be relabelled as Shredded Cow (bovine) does not contain nuts.

Although Shredded Bull (bovine) May contain nuts.

Re: Shredded Cow

I always call corned beef mashed up cow ( I love corned beef btw )

Re: Shredded Cow

Corned beef is so expensive now - I guess that's partly because it comes from Brazil and Argentina.

But didn't it always come from those countries when it was cheap?

I blame Mad Cow disease, all the healthy cows who could afford it emigrated to South America...

Re: Shredded Cow

Lol, it used to make up a cheap meal as it's so versatile - I love corned beef sandwiches with good bread and sliced beetroot.

Re: Shredded Cow

Well I always understood that it was a cheap way of processing and sending meat to us in the uk during the war - bully beef ????

Now we have become wealthy and it's seen as a supposedly cheap meat, but Argentinian beef is some of the best in the world
