[edit] Insularity

This article needs rewriting to give it a more international flavour. In particular, according to the first paragraph Minced Beef is only known as Ground Beef in North America so the title should be changed to Minced Beef to reflect majority international usage. I do get fed up with IAA (Insular American Articles)!

I took away Mexican cuisine as a cuisine where ground beef is used prominently because it is not true. Whomever wrote that probably was thinking of the "Taco Bell" variety of "Mexican food."

[edit] Kofta?

I thought kofta, like kebab, was normally made with minced lamb or mutton, not beef? Palmiro | Talk 18:20, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

nope

[edit] Quality

There should be some mention of different grades of ground beef, like ground chuck. Hackwrench 21:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Generalize?

maybe this article should be about all ground meat. Does it make sense to have a separate article for each type? ike9898 15:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mincemeat v. Mince Meat

'Mince' and 'mince meat' should go to a disambiguation page to differentiate between mincemeat (now a meatless pie filling) and ground meat/beef.

[edit] This page is Lacking

Shouldn't this page include explanations for terms like Lean 92/8 Extra Lean 96/4 Sirloin 90/10 I mean what's with the division? A completely uneducated guess on my part would be "X" grams of meat per "Y" grams of fat I came to this wiki page to see if my guess was correct or not only to find that it doesn't mention them at all.

Ok about.com to the rescue http://homecooking.about.com/od/beef/a/groundbeeflabel.htm now the only question is where to put labeling info Bushido Brown (talk) 21:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
