Jan 26 2022 - Hello Mr. Meatloaf

 

What if Meat Loaf was a name and not a thing?   Hello Mr. Meatloaf.  That is the difference - one word vs two word. 

"Regarding his birth, Meat Loaf stated in an interview that he was "bright red and stayed that way for days", that his father said he looked like "nine pounds of ground chuck", and that he convinced hospital staff to put the name "Meat" on his crib."

Meatloaf of minced meat was mentioned in the Roman cookery collection Apicius as early as the 5th century. Meatloaf is a traditional German, Scandinavian and Belgian dish, and it is a cousin to the Dutch meatball.


American meatloaf has its origins in scrapple, a mixture of ground pork and cornmeal served by German-Americans in Pennsylvania since colonial times.  Meatloaf in the contemporary American sense did not appear in cookbooks until the late 19th century.

There is regrettably no Canadian entry for Meatloaf in the Wikipedia article.  But there're many entries for Dutch meat balls. I was in our Dutch shop in Grimsby this week, and noticed lots of flavourings for meatballs.

Gehaktballen are the Dutch version of meatballs, characterized by their large size. The dish is typically associated with winter, as it is a classic representative of Dutch comfort food. These meatballs are usually made with a combination of ground beef and pork and flavorings such as salt, pepper, nutmeg, onions, and mustard.

They are then slowly simmered in their own juices until done. When served, gehaktballen can be accompanied by anything from stamppot and bread to condiments such as mustard, ketchup, and peanut sauce.

Stamppot, meaning mashed pot, is a traditional Dutch dish made from mashed potatoes and one or several selected vegetables such as kale, spinach, endive, turnip, or sauerkraut. If the potatoes are mashed together with onions and carrots, the dish is then called hutspot.
