The Epicure's Almanac or Diary of Good Living

March 30th : MINCED COLLOPS

In North Britain this is an extremely popular preparation, and is very unlike the savoury dish known in England under the title of “Scotch collops," as, par exemple:—The coarse beef usually used for making gravy is chopped fine, and put into a saucepan, with a little water and some pepper and salt, stirred for about ten minutes over the fire, and then sent to table.

Homely as it appears, it is by no means a despicable dish for a bachelor, as it requires little time in cooking, or cost in its materials. There is no reasen why prime beef should not be thus treated.
