I just went to Morrison's and went to their butcher's bit,
and asked them if they'd mince me some pork steaks for my tea tonight. The chap (who only appeared after I'd asked somebody to get him after waiting at the counter for him) just said "no," very bluntly, offering no explanation as to why.
Why might this have been? Suggestions on a postcard.

they dont like to work
The only reason people work at the Morrisons meant counter is the free ham.

They didn't have a real mincer.

Because he was a shit butcher
which is a bit daft considering that Morrisons supposedly pride themselves on their trained butchers.

Unless he only had one mincer.
He's not going to wash it down so that one weirdo can have minced pork.

Who the fuck has minced pork?

People who want meatballs?
I buy minced pork quite often for meatballs.

I like the idea of mincing something that
isn't beef. But where would you draw the line?

a) Chicken
b) Fish
c) Vegetables

why would you mince a steak?

Pork != steak

Pork steak == steak
Pork mince == steak
Pork mince !== steak

SEE WHAT I DID THERE?

I used to work behind the meat counter at Waitrose when I was young.
The mincer thing was only allowed to mince beef, nothing else. Avoids cross contamination.
