Are you talking about minced beef? I buy that at 5% fat in the UK, and that’s not anywhere fancy.

- p1necone 6y agoThat's probably great for bolognese or tartare (to name a couple of random examples), but use that for a burger and it would be horribly dry (unless you cooked it rare/medium rare) Although I'm sure it's possible to make a plant based burger that doesn't need 20% fat by tweaking other stuff that you can't change with ground beef. (I've had potato/sweet potato patties that were great and basically fat free, but obviously not much like actual meat)
- the_benno 6y agoYes, what you call minced beef is called ground beef in America. Not to be confused with mincemeat, though, fellow Americans! I was very confused the first time I had that in the UK.
- globular-toast 6y agoFor the record, Italians wouldn't use anything less than 20% for their ragu. Not that this has much to do with "spaghetti bolognese" I suppose.
