Same thing with beef, and the beauty of this is that you know what is in that minced meat, and you control the fat content. Great meat loaf can be made with ham, pork and veal, and with the grinder, pieces of raw onion, and peppers may also be added to the meat as you are grinding it....have fun! I started out about 20 years ago with a Rival, then when we got the Kitchen Aid, we bought the whole kit with it, meat grinder, grater, and salad machine, 3 separate pieces.. no affilliatin, etc, just a very happy user...Cheers, Doug in BC
