    this time Mom just winged it and put in a little too

    Your mother's version of meat loaf bears no resemblance to anything
    called meat loaf I am familiar with. Soy sauce? Nope. The description
    is rather vague. Was there no egg added as part of the binder with the
    onion & breadcrumbs?

    As written I wouldn't want to eat it, nor would I miss it. Hot sauce
    and ketchup would certainly not help. So sorry!

    You and your ancestors from that boat are way too white for soy sauce.

    My sentiments exactly no matter who makes it.

    I agree that a meat loaf is often pretty bad. I still have faith in it
    because I have had some really good ones. Eating at a lot of diners
    while working on the road for close to 30 years, I learned to order
    meatloaf if it was on the menu. It can be incredible.

    Done right, it is very good. I've been eating it all my life.

    My preference is no more than 80% lean. Don't overwork the mix with breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, sour cream. I often add dried onion, toasted.

    to me it often is just another form of meatball.
    given a good sauce, pasta and some good cheese you
    can have a pretty good meal. add a salad and you're
    doing better.

    I have found them to be better with regular ground beef and lots of
    bread crumbs (soaked in milk) salt, pepper, granulated garlic,
    horseradish, salt and pepper, and a little ketchup. Smear a little more
    ketchup on the bottom of the pan and a little BBQ sauce on top.

    A little bit of soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce or fermented fish
    sauce) bumps up the umami, especially if tomatoes are also present.

    I have a nice wet rub for beef that uses fish sauce and tomato paste.
    I've tried subbing Worcestershire sauce for the fish sauce, but that
    makes it taste like A-1 sauce.

    A-1 is not one of my favourite things. I don't keep fish sauce on hand
    so I'll have to take your word for it in terms of a wet rub for beef. :)

    i've eaten it for four days - sometimes twice a day, i've
    ate it without any changes, i've had it with mushroom gravy,
    i've had it with hot sauce and ketchup, i've had it just with
    ketchup, i've had it with melted cheese, i've had it with
    mayo (not MW). this morning i went back to hot sauce and
    ketchup and the cut up potato.

    My secret ingredients for meatloaf would be oyster sauce, beef soup powder, and dehydrated onions. There's other stuff too but we don't talk about that.

    When you have a mango, do you sprinkle it with industrial mango powder
    first?

    Yes, I guess. I'd always eat it too.

    in my life i've made very few things i could not eat.
    liver soup was one of them, i've written about that one
    here in the past. i kept trying to fix it in various
    ways and all it did was make even more of something i
    did not want to eat. so i stopped and got rid of it
    and since then have never made liver soup again.

    i consider it one of my pet peeves and sins if i waste
    food so i try very hard to not do that and am almost
    always successful.

    but to get back to meatloaf. i've also made some non-
    meat versions which were ok to me, but i'm sure others
    would find them inedible. about 1/3 TVP, 1/3 pasta and
    1/3 oatmeal mixed with various spices and tomato paste
    (to give it some reasonable color, but also for the
    flavor and umami it adds (fry it first and burn some of
    it if you must)). mushrooms and onions are always good.
    etc.

    Fake meat can be pretty good these days. We just had a fake meat

    it was supposed to be good quality liver but it was
    full of gristle and not that good at all and then i
    made the mistake of putting it in a mostly tomato
    base. no, that was horrible to me. then i added
    brown rice and more vegetables hoping to thin it out
    and make it more pallatable, but nope, just could
    not eat it.

    these days the closest i come to liver is via a
    certain brand of Braunschweiger which is dry and not
    slimy to my taste and so i will use that for sandwiches
    and for making fake pate.

    having much added salt it often ends up being too salty.
    the other day Mom made a box of the mac-n-cheese and i
    forgot how salty that is as it was and made the mistake
    of putting some garlic salt on it. yes, i did eat it
    but it was too much salt for sure.

    No, I don't do it with ice cream. Only Haagendasz passes that test but

    I guess salt and sugar are cheap ways for the food industry to add
    flavour.

    Your mother's version of meat loaf bears no resemblance to anything

    binder with the onion & breadcrumbs?

    As written I wouldn't want to eat it, nor would I miss it.  Hot sauce
    and ketchup would certainly not help.  So sorry!

    I wasn't trying to be disparaging but it was an odd description. I
    still can't imagine soy sauce in meatloaf. songbird did have to "doctor
    it up" to eat it.

    i've eaten it for four days - sometimes twice a day, i've
    ate it without any changes, i've had it with mushroom gravy,
    i've had it with hot sauce and ketchup, i've had it just with
    ketchup, i've had it with melted cheese, i've had it with
    mayo (not MW). this morning i went back to hot sauce and
    ketchup and the cut up potato.

    Naw, just a different set of tastebuds from you. He's actually careful
    on food selections (ones he can control), tending to pure ingredients.
    His Mom gets a lot of the food so he;s not always there. He hates
    waste so eats stuff up.

    Soy sauce has a place in Don's meatloaf (my husband) but only a small
    amount is used. I find it fine. He varies the recipe about and most
    work really well. Don recently tried a Teriyaki version that was quite
    good.

    Loaf concoctions are popular!

    You could make a v-egg loaf. Here's a famous vegetarian recipe:

    "Usually bell pepper, onion, celery, parsley, bread... all goes through
    the meat grinder... meat loaf is how to clean out your vegetable bin.
    I like to grind in some raw potato, even a carrot, makes a good

    because it's just forms of stuffing to me at that point.
    and i've also had some sort of sweet stuffings but not to
    the degree of sweetness i'd usually think of a pudding.

    i have steered my tapioca pudding/custards to almost non-
    sweet these days, but the vanilla still makes them dessert.
    milk is rather sweet to me now. several years ago i would
    regularly put brown sugar in milk (i love sugar and brown
    sugar is da bomb) or use it in cereals on top of how sweet
    the cereals might already be. now i try to keep it to a
    treat once in a while.

    being a carb addict is probably built into human nature
    but i sure got the sweet tooth part down as a kid. at
    least i never developed a taste for hard candies or sodas
    and i think that has kept me from weighing about 200lbs
    more than i do now (or increasing my chances for diabetes...)

    I think what they are trying to say is just that it's not called 'meat
    loaf' in the UK.

    Haggis is, technically, a sausage. Or possibly a pudding, if you're
    inclined to use that word for steamed sausages.

    no, i rarely think of anything savory as a pudding
    but that is probably an American thing.

    Same here.

    because it's just forms of stuffing to me at that point.

    Blood sausage is a form of stuffing?

    yes, to me. all sausages are stuffing as will be all
    meatloafs. different forms of food can have different
    names, but to me it is the ingredients and flavors that
    count over form and presentation. note, i'm not saying
    that i don't enjoy a proper BBQ off the grill or many
    other things that can happen with texture when foods
    are made in different ways, but primarily i classify
    based upon ingredients first (and mostly edible is
    important...).

    did not want to eat. so i stopped and got rid of it

    I don't know if I'd eat it. Liver used to be one of my favourite

    i consider it one of my pet peeves and sins if i waste
    food so i try very hard to not do that and am almost
    always successful.

    but to get back to meatloaf. i've also made some non-
    meat versions which were ok to me, but i'm sure others
    would find them inedible. about 1/3 TVP, 1/3 pasta and
    1/3 oatmeal mixed with various spices and tomato paste
    (to give it some reasonable color, but also for the
    flavor and umami it adds (fry it first and burn some of
    it if you must)). mushrooms and onions are always good.
    etc.

    Fake meat can be pretty good these days. We just had a fake meat

    Many fake meats don't have soy in them, nor do they all contain a ton

    It's funny that RFC boomers only worry about additives when they're

    shape if the name and recipe dosn't match to a T, exactly like they
    think it should. It would be funny if it weren't so sadly limiting.

    sure, i don't mind hearing different names and techniques
    but i may not remember them or care particularly. :)

    today Mom was making cranberry bread and was looking up a
    recipe for it, i just told her to use the one for raisin
    bread instead. turns out she used the Boston Brown bread
    recipe since she was also making that... i'm not sure i'll
    get a slice or not. sometimes things get given away
    without any allocation to the sous chef...

    You look at everyone else's food ingredients and immediately post
    'em... but you ate this and haven't bothered to look at the
    ingredients yet? Sorta of substantiates your prickliness.

    Substantiating one's prickliness... a fascinating concept indeed!

    Only Kuthe admits to doing that.

    I tend to key in on ones that interest me.

    A simple Sweet sauced pork stir fry over egg noodles.

    I'll post it in a bit.

    today Mom was making cranberry bread and was looking up a
    recipe for it, i just told her to use the one for raisin
    bread instead. turns out she used the Boston Brown bread
    recipe since she was also making that... i'm not sure i'll

    Smile, I'm evil like that too sometimes. I hope she added a dood bit of sweetner to that! (or preboiled them with a lot of sugar).

    they were dried cranberries that did have plenty of
    sugar already added. the recipe she uses for BBB starts
    with soaking the raisins so that is what she did with
    the cranberries. i can barely taste them, the pre-soak
    watered down the flavor too much.
