Be careful when buying food with the word 'value' in, I remember hearing value meant that there is no more than 20% meat and that can include skin and muscle. Good price if your on a budget though.

lol! what do you think good meat is if not muscle?

I'm all for money saving but unfortunately some things I just can't go to basics on. Meat is one. If you're wanting some decent mince without spending a fortune, get some turkey mince which is good for the money (and cheaper than beef mince etc).

Depends what you are used to.

Funny how some people will say it is poor mince and then go and buy a McDonalds, which probably has even less decent meat or chicken in it LOL

I've had a visit to the factory where Mcdonald's burgers are made and would happily eat them......nothing but good chunks of beef, ok so there's quite a bit of fat on it but that's the nature of burgers!!! I can be a bit of a snob where meat is concerned, my mum used to be a butcher so if I would eat them they can't be that bad......shame about the crappy buns, cheese, sauces etc they use!!!!

I tried it once, it isn't bad and I'm glad I didn't see any veins in it! I used it with Chilli, and I drained the fat off, tasted fine once made into a meal.

I normally buy it in for the cats though, they love a handful of raw mince, and a 50p pack of mince will last a bit, and fills them up more than a can of cat chow.
