Post by sandie99 on Jan 26^th, 2007, 12:35pm

My boyfriend and I were discussing what you guys call this particular kind of meat:

Do you call it mince meat? Or hamburger meat? or what?

Curious minds want to know! ;;D

Hugs,
Sanna

Michael, you are my friend. :)
But you know what, we eat our meat and talk about it and food in general a lot. I asked this Q because my boyfriend had heard that Americans refer that kind of meat as hamburger meat. The schools in here teach that we should call that meat mince meat, so naturally we wanted to know what is the correct term to use.

Pf days,
Sanna

It looks good all on its own! Spread that on some rye bread, add a few onions and some salt and pepper.

Raw beef and onions. (It's a Wisconsin thing) or Steak Tartar as the rich people call it ;) Just make sure its ground round with very little fat.

Mince meat (or minced meat) is mostly fruit - apples, raisins, dates, etc.. It is baked into pies or other delicacies. Some minced meat products contain a little beef, but very little. The term minced meat is very idiomatic.

Do you make hot blueberry soup in Finland?

Ground beef or hamburger is what you have in the picture.

I would just call it "Ground Meat" as it could be the ground flesh from any number of once living creatures.

with warm regards,
Tony

Ground beef! Generally, round steak is ground up, so it can be formed into patties, for hanburgers, or, perhaps meatballs or meat loaf. Steak tartare uses a MUCH better quality of beef, generally a sirloin, for the very smallest amount of fat content.
You CAN use turkey ground in the same manner, and we call it ground turkey.
Sooo(long winded me)....any meat that is put through a grinder is called ground meat. You can replace the word meat with the KIND of meat being used.......
But, before the boyz get to this....ground CAT is NOT acceptable.got it?? LOL!
;)Cathi

oh, and Floridian is right on as usual, mincemeat is an interesting concoction of suet and fruits, mincemeat pie is still somewhat popular at Thanksgiving....and I think it sux! one woman's opinion! ;;D

Post by LeLimey on Jan 26^th, 2007, 2:00pm

Actually we call it mince here or just minced beef, pork, lamb or whatever dead animal it is!
Flo and Cathy are right though in that "mincemeat" is completely different and total scrumptious - and doesn't contain meat at all! In fact, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without mince pies and brandy butter ;;D

Ground beef, Chop meat, hamburger, I've heard it referred to by all of those names. It depends where you are in the country, or in New York, what block you are on.

Title: Re: Meat Q to my American friends!
Post by andrewjb on Jan 26^th, 2007, 9:18pm

:), [smiley=twocents.gif]. minced meat [beef, lamb, pork, etc], should be cooked well, with lots of vegetables. steak tartar, finely diced fillet steak, fresh herbs and spices,placed on a plate with an egg yolk in the centre. should be eaten with, fresh crusty bread, nice red wine [not fruity] tomato salad, and gusto. andrew.

Over here in western New York State, one makes hamburgers out of ground beef. There ain't much more to it.

Yer makin' me hungry for a sloppy joe or two. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs//glomfood.gif

Blocks?, no blocks where I live.

In NY we call it ground beef, or ground pork, or ground, what ever the animal is.

My family just loves to pick blueberries every fall and I recall that my mum did make this thick, yummy, blueberry soup few times. I'm not sure if it is the kind you mean, though. We ate it warm, not hot. :)

Thank you all for your replies and comments. My best supporter read them all as well and we both were happy that this simple Q got so much attention. :)

Now, My best supporter reminded me to add this bit about us Finns and our chop/ground meat eating habits:
we fry it and use it in several ways. In fact, I've personally made pizza, tortillas, tacos, soup, pastries, pie, lasagna, macaroni casserole, meatballs and pasta with it. I've seen people eat steak tartar back in here, too, but I don't enough of courage nor curiosity to try that one.

Back here you can get that pork, beef, pork-beef, chicken and low fat chop meat. My dad was a hunter, so I've spent my first 12 years eating moose meat, including moose chop meat.

PF days & great meals to everyone! :)

Hugs,
Sanna
