Is meatloaf actually good /ck/, or is it one of those things that Americans are wrong about?

Am Ausfag, I had meatloaf once when I was a kid and hated it so much that my mother never made it again. Did she just fuck up, was I just a fussy child, or is meatloaf pretty bad?

the thing about meatloaf is everyone makes it different. You kinda have to make your own recipe if you want to like it

[Anonymous No.17052701]

If you just loaf up some ground beef, yeah, it's going to suck. It'll just be crumbly, dry meat. The key is to very finely mince your onions, celery, and carrots and sautee them until mostly softened and soak some stale bread or breadcrumbs in a little milk. Mix it all together, season it well, and combine it with your beef and form it into a loaf. Don't overwork it. Cook ~50% of the way through, then start brushing on 2-3 layers of your glaze.

>>17052673
My go to is mashed potatoes, beef and mushroom gravy, and a veggie side. Peas, glazed carrots, and brussels sprouts all work really well.

[Anonymous No.17052709]

meatloaf is associated with bad cooks because it's easy and cheap, using breadcrumbs and onion to create bulk without using as much meat, and a lot of old recipes for it have stupid 20th century housewife ideas like a topping sauce made from boiled ketchup and other gross shit, you can make anything taste good if you're a good cook so maybe some diners or resteraunts serving meatloaf ironically have at least halfway decent ones, but those of us who grew up eating aforementioned type will react with lol no fuck that

We're weird about food names. You know those "cheese" slices often used for burgers? We call them 'little thin things.' No mention of 'cheese' at all. And 'thin' as in... well, English only has one word for 'thin,' right? We have at least three. 'Magro' as in 'lacking fat' IE a thin person. 'Sottile' as in 'not thick' IE a thin slice of cheese. And 'fino' as in 'fine' IE a thin thread.
Anyway, the word the cheese name is based on is obviously 'sottile.'

Not just that, but "cheese product" as you two call it is useful in making easy cheese sauces. There's a chemical in the stuff called sodium citrate. I don't understand exactly what it does or how, but it makes cheese melt more readily. As such, I throw in a pair of sottilette when I make fondue. That's all you need. It reacts with the heat and liquid and helps the other cheeses melt quite smoothly. I've family who comment about how smooth my fondue always is compared to theirs and I've never told them my secret. But now I've told you. Happy upcoming St Nicolas Day, Anon. This is my gift to you.

Likewise. Dad's a good cook but meatloaf was his fallback when we had ground beef that needed to be used but was feeling too lazy to make burger patties.

It's good, but there's a whole generation of women who were just awful cooks, and those women are our moms. There's a LOT of shit I thought I didn't like, just because my mom's version was garbage. But that's fine, that's normal, I'm okay with that.
What makes me want to die, is when I ask her the secret recipe to the shit she made that I fucking loved, and it's always basically "mix this premade thing with this can of garbage".
Turns out my mom's turkey gravy has always just been some instant packets mixed in with the water she used to boil the giblets and neck bone, and I would literally drink that shit every year on Thanksgiving. I called her this year, while I was roasting the bones, getting ready to make stock, and I asked her secret and that's what she told me. Apparently she never learned how to use flour to thicken shit.

We have it in Germany too, but it's way less common as frikadelles, which are big meatballs. Ingredients are basically the same although frikadells are often stronger seasoned and have wy more crust because of their smaller size. Also meatloaf is often served with a thin gravy while frikadelles are eaten with mustard. Both can be heavily improved by adding typical sausage seasonings but many keep them as simple as it gets, which makes them boring.

Indonesia has a cognate-named food, 'perkedel.' Comes from when the Dutch used to be all over the area.
Unlike frikadellen, though, they're not always meat. For example, I make perkedel kacang hijau pretty commonly. That's mung bean rather than meat but you can make it out of most small beans, I suspect. I've made them from black gram as well as green dried peas. There are also potato varieties and several others.

Here's a video, but it's in Indonesian, so I hope that's not a problem. Even if you can't understand it, the ingredients should be readily identifiable.

Not American born-and-raised so correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Salisbury steaks made using cubed beef IE a tough-ass cut of meat that you tenderise by beating the ever-loving fuck out of it?

I make meatloaf with gravy and not the ketchup glaze Americans do. Nothing against the glaze, mind you, but I worry I'll fuck it up so I just go with what I know and that's either

I take it you watched a lot of US tv and got that idea.
You have to remember old sitcom were written by boomers and meat loaf is a boomer meal during hard times with low resources.
A lot of old recipes would suggest putting extra shit to add vitamin or make it more dense/filling if you couldn't get a lot of meat for the loaf.
Carrots, oatmeal, raisins, olives, etc could be found in old recipe books.
My mom still puts olives in her meatloaf because that's how my grandma taught her how to make it. You can't really tastes them and the slices fall out or can be picked out so my family never minded.
So a lot of people like yourself had the misfortune of eating meatloaf that wasn't pleasant.
It was also a weekly food for some family. Like Taco Tuesday but worse.
In TV and movies it became of trope of "MEATLOAF, AGAIN!?" and the kids or whole family groaning.

Then you should try Escoffiers garlic butter that's 200g blanched garlic and 250g butter.

>dis nigga think i aint had escoffiers garlic butter
Bruh, me and Escoffier go way back.

I only mention mtewem because it fits with the theme of the thread, that being mince mixed with stuff and cooked. While mtewem is typically-to-always a meatball, I've seen it made into sausage forms, especially if served with tlitli so I don't see why it couldn't also be made into loaf-form. No idea what the carb for it would be, though. Probably just something boring, like plain ol' bread, I guess.

Meatloaf is one of those meals you can fuck up and it can be really bad, or it can be really good. I like to Karate chop the top of mine and bake the last 10 minutes with heinz 57 warm and kind of settled in.

I also like making Venison Meatloaf loaded with Jalepenos and pepper jack cheese using pork rinds instead of bread crumbs.

I just mentioned it, because it was the most absurd amount of garlic in a dish i've ever seen. The fact that Escoffier seems to have an aversion to garlic in all other recipes made it even more hilarious.

How else was he gonna prepare escargot? They taste like practically nothing on their own. A strong garlic butter is practically a necessity for them.

[Anonymous No.17059272]

Escargot butter is different:
350g butter
35g shallots
10g garlic
25g parsley
12g salt
2g pepper

>Every time I see meatloaf on TV it's an American family complaining about the mother's cooking
You're basing this information on what you've seen on TV. I'm telling you not to do that. If meatloaf was truly a horrible dish that Americans hated with all their hearts and souls, it wouldn't still be a popular dinner. You can also get the stuff in frozen dinners and at restaurants. If it was as hated as the TV shows have made you think, there would be no market for it whatsoever. TV shows are hyperbolic garbage a lot of the time for a whole lot of topics so you can't go by them.

[Anonymous No.17059316]

>>17059272
Ah. Mine is practically the same as the garlic butter + parsley and a shallot or two. Very, very garlic-y.
Ever prepared escargot from frozen? I bought a bag of frozen whelks a month ago or so. While not strictly escargot, it's pretty similar, though I've never made any snail of any sort from frozen. Think it'll go well?

[Anonymous No.17059429]

>>17059316
I strip back the garlic and replace some of the parsley with chives, chervil and estragon or just add those. That's basically my compound butter recipe i use for everything.
Also i don't know about frozen snails. Only had and saw them in cans.

Maybe ground up pork rinds/cracklings? Although, when this is the case it's usually because it's subbing as a breading for fried foods.

I said the exact opposite. Wrapping things in bacon is pointless cause it just makes the whole thing taste like bacon. There are rare occasions when the correct thing is wrapped in bacon, like prunes which play a little flavor game with bacon. In case of meatloaf its pointless and stupid.

why fucking waste time making a meatloaf when you can just make it into rissoles instead?
at least with rissoles you get way more crust compared to meatloaf

People (mostly Euros and Ami's) have been mixing chopped meat with a panade and making delicious food since the Romans were around.

If you don't like it, it is because you are:

1) A bad cook
2) A black
3) A vegan

Maybe picrel is more your speed if you don't like home cooked goodness.
