The American Meat Loaf

Among the great dishes of the world, many American specialities take pride of place – New England boiled dinner, clam chowder and Boston baked beans, Southern fried chicken, prawn and chicken gumbo, Caesar salad, San Francisco’s ‘doppino’, Philadelphia’s ‘pepper pot’, lobster Newburg and oysters Rockefeller – to name just a few. But none has captured the heart of the American people so completely as the all-American meat loaf . . . an easy-to-cook, easy-to-serve Sunday night supper that is famous the length and breadth of the land.
