So… does leaner mince mean better? 🥩
Not necessarily. It really comes down to the meal you're making and what works for you.

Our Top Value Beef Mince has a higher fat content, which means more flavour and a juicier result. It’s perfect for burgers, meatballs and meals where you want that extra richness.

Our Premium Grade Beef Mince is leaner, and is Scott’s preference for making everyday meals like spag bol and tacos. Maybe that’s so he can have extra toppings! 😂

Fat isn't something we need to fear, it is more calorie-dense, so if you're tracking calories, it's worth considering the fat content of the mince you're choosing.

Overall, there isn't a “better” mince, just a mince that’s better suited for the meal you're making.

Save this for your next trip to the butcher and tell us are you Team Lean or Team Flavour? 👇

Scott & Jodie’s middle son had a VERY memorable reason for refusing dinner… 😂

With Father’s Day coming up, we’ve been remembering some of the best excuses our fussy eaters gave us!

Parents, what’s the best excuse your fussy eater has ever given you for refusing dinner? 😂

Lamb Mini Bakes! Packed with seasoned lamb mince, macadamias, feta, and a hit of mint glaze, all wrapped up in golden Danish-style pastry.

Straight into a preheated 180°C oven for 25 minutes and you’ve got something that won’t last long on the plate.

These are perfect for autumn when the days are starting to get a little cooler and shorter, and you need dinner on the table pronto!

He's really made an impression on everyone here and we will be sad to see him go!

This week in the dry store.

If you’re feeling like something a bit different, have a look at the metwurst or the guanciale. Not your standard supermarket stuff, and not something you’ll come across anywhere else in Armidale.

Worth a try, even if you’re just curious.
