    Meatloaf (food).

    Saw a video on youtube where a british man living in USA said he had never heard of meatloaf until moving to USA. Is it really so, you don´t make meatloaf in the UK? Here in Fennoscandia it is a common dish. Basicly same ingredients as in meatballs but in a different form. Meatloaf.
