Meatloaf (food).

[Herman30]

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.

It's not an uncommon dish here in the UK, I've eaten it since a child.

“It’s an American dish!” So said one of my girlfriend’s family members when she cooked this meatloaf for them a couple of weeks ago. I get where they’re coming from. I tend to think of it as a North American dish, too. It conjures images of American moms from 1960s sitcoms you never watched...

There are a number of regional UK dishes that resemble meatloaf. I’ve eaten a sort of meatloaf called “savoury duck” or “faggots”. They don’t call it that in America.
I can’t remember seeing recipes for meatloaf or seeing it in shops here in UK.

I never heard of it called Meatloaf....I like his music though

Haslet, meat roll, faggots, savoury duck, potted meat.....as many regional recipes and names as there are towns and counties in the UK, I reckon

I make a game version with minced venison, pheasant and wood pigeon with added bacon. It works well in a lined bread tin. (Pressed before cooking) seems to work quite well

How the hell we grew up on Billy bear ham without growing an extra limb I'll never know.

I don’t like cooking programmes but I did enjoy “Two Fat Ladies”.

if you’re not frying in lard then go and cook something else!

They were sublimely politically incorrect and both were multi-layered people with incredible histories.

Whenever they baked in a tin they always lined the tin with streaky bacon. A huge faggot in a bacon lined tin is definitely on my list - possibly the last item on it If arteries can’t cope!!!!

On Hannibal Lecters, too, I think.
On the note, here in Finland one can go to the opera and watch a man blow a fagott (bassoon in english)

I know three meanings, real ones, of the word.

One, it's a bundle of sticks/kindling.
Two, it's a rolled up stuffed meat dish.
Three, it's the insert borders around individual blocks of a patchwork quilt.

I'm not American....

 

[Kadushu]

I've seen it used as a verb to mean rolling up or bundling up things. I shall faggot my chattels and be on my way!

Isn’t that what the Roman army did for their temporary camps. Each one carried a bundle of stakes, sometimes around an axe which formed a stockade at night and was bundled up again for the next day’s march.
