If you re eating a Charlie Bigham s cottage pie be sure to have a small side plate beside you to spit out all of the grizzly mince. This will save you a trip up to the bin 5-10 times during your meal. I ve eaten two cottage pies this week and the experience was the same for both.

In 20 years of making my own Shepherds pies and Spag Bols using standard supermarket mince I ve never had to spit out lumps of grizzle. For high end ready meals I d advise Charlie Bighams to look at the quality of the meat they use.
