Mince Limerick Competition

Get your thinking caps on and let your poetic inspiration flow in our Complete Book of Mince limerick competition! Inspired by the success of our New Year Maw Broon competition, we're asking you again to come up with a humorous limerick, this time on the subject of mince!

A really big plate of mince

Whether it's a classic mince-and-tatties, a shepherd's pie, a minced beef burger or something more exotic, The Complete Book of Mince has something for everyone (and there are even vegetarian options).

Be inspired by our own mince limericks - we're sure you can do better!
