store?

I am very fussy about my minced meat. I like to mince it and either cook or
freeze it immediately. The idea that it is sitting around half a day on
some counter ... Then there are those butchers who mince it for you. Who
knows what is in that mincer before your meat goes through it.

I don't complain about others' choices but they are not for me.

Sorry, I wasn't specific. What's the penalty for using store-bought
meat in this particular recipe? Will Sheldon detect it and drive
over here to berate me? Will God strike me dead with lightning?

If memory serves, I have twice in the past year gone to the grocery
store and purchased 1/2 pound of ground beef. That's it. My
entire home use of ground meat in a year has been 1 pound. I believe
1/4 pound is still in the freezer. It's just not worth grinding my own.

Yes, I have a grinder. It hasn't been used in years.

Me too but if I want some then I would throw in the food processor,
mine does a job that's just as efficient as a grinder with less clean
up.

For so little all you need is a wooden bowl and a chopping knife... at
least you'll still know what/who is in it... and will have many other
uses. This company has very nice wooden kitchen products at good
prices:

Obviously, I don't care what's in it. It's meat.

FFS, I eat raw fish that I haven't seen prepared. It's
just not a problem.

Yep! Which is why I let my favorite local STL gourmet grocer Straub's grind all my "ground beast" for me!! They use high quality sanitary beef and equipment, and make the best "ground beast" in STL, I'd bet! I KNOW it tastes better than Schnucks' ground beef!! Been there, had that, and NEVER AGAIN!!

That does sound a bit tinhatly to me.

Only one pound per year. Really? I don't eat much ground meat myself
but certainly more than that. A grinder would be nice here but I
wouldn't use one enough to warrant the price. Sheldon pointed me to
one for about $165 a few years ago. Decent price but not for as much
as I would use one.

I've been meaning to try that sometime. My little processor, a Ninja
Express, should do a decent job with a few pulses.

Indeed it does. You weren't on RFC in 1999. I remember the date
because it was right before Y2K and I needed just a bit of ground pork
to make steamed pork crab & shrimp dumplings. The grocery store (I was
still in TN) had just changed hands. All I could find was 1 lb.
packages of Hormel cryo-vac'd ground pork. I didn't need a pound of
ground pork.

The butcher asked what I was looking for. I told him. He said the new
management wouldn't let him grind anything *but* beef. He told me he'd
been a butcher for 20 years and he sure as hell knew how to clean a
grinder between every grind. He basically said screw management and
ground 6 oz. of lean pork for me.

Thai Dumplings

3 oz. flaked crabmeat
6 oz ground pork
6 large shrimp, minced*
1 Tbsp water
1/4 tsp garlic salt (I use minced garlic and add some salt to the mix)
1-1/2 - 2-1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 egg
1-1/2 Tbsp light soy sauce
1 Tbsp peanut oil
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pkg wonton wrappers

*Since I rarely just have 6 large shrimp lying around, I buy a bag of
small frozen "salad shrimp" and measure out what I need... no need to
mince those, either! Place shrimp, crabmeat and pork in mixing bowl.
Blend in remaining ingredients except wonton wrappers and mix together
until firm (add a little more cornstarch if mixture is too wet). Hold a
wonton wrapper in one hand. Place 1 Tbsp filling in the center. Fold the
corners in to meet in the middle, squeezing to close the top. Moisten
fingers with water and gently seal (I noticed last night they look like
small whole heads of garlic when done!). Place in a lightly oiled
steamer basket. Steam (covered) over simmering water about 25 minutes.
Serve with dipping sauce (below).

Serves 4

Dipping sauce (or use whatever you like):
4 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp hot water
1 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
2 Tbsp thinly sliced ginger root

Blend all ingredients together. Let sit at least 30 minutes. Use as a
dipping sauce for dumplings.

That represents four hamburgers.

That's this past year. Other years, I've used more. Maybe
5 or 10 pounds. We eat mainly chicken, fish/shellfish, steak,
and pork loin, but very little ground meat.

In the past year, DH has lost 160 pounds; we weren't
eating a lot of beef.

Yes I think so too, which is why I prefer not to use mine.
