Hardly an unknown reason. Looking up definitions for mince, you find: "cut up or grind (food, especially meat) into very small pieces, typically in a machine with revolving blades."

I thought that was a Scottish thing. The singular is tatty, the plural is tatties. Probably from Scots Gaelic buntąta.

Do you mean ground sirloin, ground chuck, ground round, ground prime rib, etc.?
