Meatloaf in the oven, building blocks for an onion & mushroom sauce to go with chopped & ready. Rice in the mini-cooker. All ready to rock & roll once the meatloaf is half done. I have a deep unfulfilled yearning for meatloaf sandwiches tomorrow. Possibly meatloaf jaffles/toasties too. While making it is messy, at least I can control the spicing and the amount of tomato on the top, which is close to being the best bit. Is there anywhere where one can buy a whole meatloaf? I can't recall ever seeing one on sale anywhere. Or anywhen.
Some of the butchers at QVM stock them. I pick one up every once in a blue moon, as I like meatloaf but canβt justify making it from scratch for one person
Ooh thanks! Will keep an eye out for them.
My unfulfilled yearning is for pasta with baked beans. I have the ingredients. I will be sated.
I respect your meatloaf yearning. I don't see it anywhere but I'd definitely buy some if I did. I think this is a gap in the market. Let's discuss a business opportunity π€
Single or dual serve options might also increase the customer base.
My mum made meatloaf. I know it had sausage meat in it. If you've never had a meatloaf sandwich haven't lived.
You can make it from any mince. Best one I ever made was with duck using shot birds that were too damn old and gamy to roast. Did it up with lots of orange zest and it was very very nice. Rabbit is another fave but buying rabbit meat is pretty expensive nowadays.
