Give up tatties and mince for every day

Sounds good to put in the slow cooker next week. Husband just retired but still working part time. I eat lunch time followed by a nap so he could have it whenever they send him home. Never tried it before but it sounds like cottage pie which we both love.

Mince and tatties is my all time favourite but it must be quality steak mince from the butcher and mash without butter and the only acceptable veg is carrot which must not be cooked in the mince as it makes it too sweet Fussy moi lol

Just after we were married I asked my OH to pick up a cauliflower on his way home and told him I’d planned cauliflower cheese and gammon for tea. When he arrived home I was told they’d no cauliflowers left so I brought fish fingers! Needless to say from then on I did the shopping and never asked for recipe advice!

I make mince and totties that my dad says are the best ever, and my young children say "what is this, why did people eat this in old times" as if I have handed them some kind of medieval peasant gruel

I give up and now I just put tomato passata through theirs and suddenly it is "the best bolognese"

My batches of basic freezer mince (with red lentils and lots of finely chopped veg) also later turn into bolognaise sauce (plenty of tomato purée, garlic and herbs), or chilli - tomato purée again, chilli powder and paprika plus a tin of red kidney beans.

Maw hails from Scotland I believe.

I do indeed and am glad to see at least one supporter Marydoll from the Glasgow area.
This could become as contentious as the West Country scones cream or jam first issue!

I grew up with mince and tatties served once a week. It was my Glaswegian father's favourite meal. If he was working late and had his served separately, he would have a poached egg on top.
It's a meal I still like though rarely cook it.
I'm with Marydoll and Maw - I've never heard it called tatties and mince.
