Hi John, I was born in the UK but have lived in Canada for many years. I certainly know home cooked British food through my mother, who was a fabulous cook herself. I’m making mince and crispy dumplings tonight (a bit varied as per my mum’s recipe). No difficulty getting the beef suet here. I expect to be laid out on the couch shortly thereafter!! ☺🇨🇦. Thanks so much for your marvellous recipes and have a happy Christmas, John!

Hi John, I love your recipes; I've made several, to my family's delight. I grew up in Switzerland, so I know about your Imperial pint and the metric conversion, but most of your American audience will not not know. I have a wood fire pizza restaurant, and I too am aware how important it is to assess the level of knowledge in my market.

Hi John, i've been making what I call mince beef casserole for over 30 years, I add chopped veggies to mine similar to a stew. I add a teaspoon of mixed herbs and a tbs of tomato puree, as well as a pint of beefstock (oxo) made.

[@betsschreuder5047]

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Planning on making this one as soon as I bought spring onion (otherwise, if I want to try today, then it will be without the spring onion). However, I will have to use extra butter as I have never saw Beef suet on our shelves (South Africa). Sure it will be equally as nice. Allow me to tell you a little family story. My mom used (she passed away 19 years ago) to put dumplings in vegetable soup. One time my son, then about 4 years old, was staying over with them during school holiday. She made the soup and co-incidentally he was watching her making the dumplings and put it on top of the soup. When she dished, she politely asked if she can dish soup to him and he replied: Yes please Ouma, but I don't want some of that porridge! Whenever I see or make dumplings, this story repeats itself in my mind!

As an Ex-pat this brings back fond memories. Made it this evening, and there were 4 empty plates at the end of the meal. I did find suet, but it was unrefined so I had to pre-grind and chill so I could get the rice like consistency good enough for mixing into the dumplings. John this was a 10/10 meal. Thank-you.

[@wolfman011000]

Thanks for the video, brings back happy memories of being taught this back in the 70's, only differances are the spring onion in the dumplings and the lean mince. Sage if we had some was used in the dumplings and the fat was used to make a roux for thicking. Grandma use to make the mince mix the day before put it in a pyrex bowl to cool then into the fridge overnight, removing the solid fats the next day for the roux. Like stew it always tasted better the following day. Take care, God bless one and all.

[@interdave999]

I have just come across your videos and must complement you on the clear instructions you give. This is a favourite north of the border where we call it mince and tatties.

[@pineyhill]

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade, is lard interchangeable with suet?

[@Alwis-Haph-Rytte]

@@pineyhill I'm not John, but I googled for veg. suet sub, here is what I found. "If you can't find suet then we have found that grated vegetable shortening (such as Trex, Crisco or Copha) is a good substitute. To grate the shortening firstly freeze a stick or block of it until firm but not solid (this usually takes about 30 minutes)." I'm going to use butter flavored Crisco for the suet and breakfast sausage/bacon grease for the butter. Both could be swapped with the butter flavored Crisco I'm guessing.

[@joedgar5200]

John, I grew up eating mince. My grandfather came from Moffat and my grandmother was from Closeburn. I assume that is where my mother learned to make this stuff. Sadly, it is the personification of the addage " the French live to eat and the Brits eat to die". Have you guys ever heard of herbs and spices. I make mince beginning with a soffrito of onion, carrot and celery. Then I add the mince ( in Canada, we call it "extra Lean"ground beef). To this I add garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander. Next add enough beefstock to cover the mixture. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for an hour. 20 minutes before the end add more carrots ( added later they retain both texture and flavour). Thicken, if you must. For the potatoes, I always use russets. Boil as any other potato. At the end drain the pot and return to the heat. Shake vigorously and constantly until most of the moisture is driven off, leaving a dry, crumbly potato. Place the potato in the centre of a plate and ladle the mince over the potato. This mince has lots of flavour and will see you a midwinter Prairie blizzard. It'll even fill up a teenager and a Frenchman will enjoy it.

[@youngyoungmcgurn5088]

Haven't yet made this specific dish in full, but recently made a stew, and decided to make crispy dumplings to go on top - followed your recipe, and they came out absolutely perfect! My mum, who made parsley dumplings that are one of my fondest memories of growing up, was jealous, said she could never get hers that light. She also said she didn't know that you could make them crispy by just leaving the lid off. I still love how she made them, otherwise I'd never have tried to make them myself, but this recipe is the gold standard, and I will be making these a lot more often from now on. Thanks, John.

This was also my favourite growing up, way way way back in the 50s, pleased you and your family enjoyed it Emma. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Mince and dumplings profoodhomemade.com/mince-and-dumplings/

[@tonylowe6770]

This looks good. I often have this in winter. Occasionally we’ll switch out dumplings for cheese scones and make a cobbler. But I’ll definitely need to make these dumplings some time.

[@stretchedbag1963]

Great recipe John, thanks for posting. Made this for dinner tonight as I had all the ingredients on hand (-20 Celsius here in Toronto Canada) and it turned out very well, the whole family clamoured for second helpings. Cheers to you, I’m glad I found your YT station!

Happy new year to you and your family too Josha.

[@isbcornbinder]

One of my favorite dishes. I would like the gravy on my potatoes. We often added diced vegetables to the mince so the kids would eat their veggies. My wife likes to make this as a bottomless meat pie with biscuits on the side. Happy New Year to you.

Hi John, so glad to have discovered your channel, you have taken me back to my childhood. I was born and brought up in Weardale so I’m very familiar with your recipes. I now live in Yorkshire, yes they have great dishes too but never as good as your childhood food. Many thanks.

In the American South, until the last several decades almost all of our restaurants would serve what’s called “meat and three”. Your plate at the end reminded me of these places with great, food cooked from scratch & friendly staff & homey atmosphere, & it reminded me of my great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, & aunts who have all sadly passed away. I’m assuming we got the meat & three from Britain by your plate. Also, I’ve never had or even seen beef & dumplings, but I definitely want to try this. Our big dish is chicken n’ dumplings.
