I am a mince fan. Whenever I think of the aromatic larbs of Thailand and Vietnam, my mouth starts watering, while pork meatballs studded with sage and garlic are one of my family’s favourite things to eat. Then there are burgers: the best one I ever ate was made of goat meat, at the Aldeburgh food festival in Suffolk, but there have been many others. Summer for me is all about lamb burgers: cook them in a griddle pan or over the barbecue, and pile high with relishes. Bliss.
