I think the pork mince makes the difference Percy don't you??
BTW, is true that if there are five ristorante in an Italian village, the
food is different in all five, even serving the same menu's ??
Must be interesting !!

I’ll have to try the 50/50 split - I’m certain it makes all the difference though. My short cut recipe is far from authentic but tastes great

It was a particularly bad experience. I’m the same, I love sharing recipes. No closely guarded secrets here!

I get your drift Donks but I never saw more than one in any village I visited.

BTW, the very best ragu I ever tasted was one made with minced wild boar - no beef or pork, just wild boar. I'm just drooling thinking back about it.
