Old Fashioned Meat Paste Recipe

"I could never could bring myself to try this as a child, although my dear Father enjoyed it on his sandwich's. He loved it on crumpets, toast and as a sandwich spread. This is a very old family recipe, which I have converted to metric as well as having the old imperial measurement's. Way back I remember my Nan and mum ~ minced the meat in a grinder, but now days we have these inventions called food processors, which makes the job a lot easier."
