Scarecrow - I have a Eko FW2684 mincer and stuffer from

www.sausagemaking.org

Which does the job. It isn't cheap (it has just gone up to about eighty quid) but I like it. Nice and simple, though I wouldn't say that if I didn't have a dishwasher!

Tahir - Just a cheap cut, maybe braising steak, but half as much again (so 30%) of a nice fatty cut. Can't think of a fatty beef cut off the top of my head. Add some spices of your choice and away you go.

You need some fairly fatty meat, skirt maybe? Horseradish might be good. Yes to the attachment question.

You had me until the 'its not cheap' bit. I'm a tight fisted mancunian don't you know!

Had a look at it though and it does look a good deal more robust than the ascot thing. And it minces as well (my wife says I'm the only one who minces in our kitchen!! ) so looks much better value.

Is it too late to get my letter of to Santa do you think?

beef & stilton might be nice, or tomato, pickled walnut (never tried them meself), or plain with black pepper and onion.

Think I'll start with that, what's a fatty cut of beef then? (Don't know much about beef)

You'll need to get on the phone. Franco isn't very good at returning emails, even if they contain an order, so pester him on the blower and if he's got one in stock you should have it in time to play with it over the holidays.

Could you just add some suet? I think it would work, not sure about the Halal rules.

Dunno where I'd get halal suet from, will my rib of beef have surplus fat on it?

Probably not in my experience, cows just aren't that fatty. Could you ask the Welsh hook people? If you tell them what you want it for they might sort you out.

You could always pop some breast of lamb in there.

A good rib should have plenty of fat on it, but it may be tricky to get at without cutting up the joint.

You can now get 'vegetarian' suet - how much of an oxymoron is that!?

Scarry - I got a mincer from Lakeland (about £25 I think) and it comes with a sausage nozzle. Not had any time to play with the sausage bit yet as I'm re-building to ground floor of my house at the moment.

Tahir, on the Kenwood chef you can use the mincer with a sausage stuffing attatchment.
