    I remember back in the day when i really had NOTHINg I used to pad out the mince with porridge oats. URGH.
    I always pad my mince out with oats, I really like it, they soak up flavour well and add a bit of body. Oh well, different strokes and all that!

    I've just made a chilli con carne with a mix of beef mince and soya mince. I replaced a third of the mince calorie for calorie rather than gram for gram, so it tasted more meaty than with all mince. I'll try it half and half next time.
