Why does everyone pretend not to like meatloaf?

What was bad about it? I've never tried a bad meatloaf.

>meatloaf
It's times like this I'm glad I wasn't born into abject poverty

What do you guys use as binder when you make meatloaf?

When I was growing up my Mom would always use breadcrumbs, but I tried a recipe using oats once and I've never gone back.

But I do like meatloaf, OP. It's fucking awesome. Also salmonloaf is the shit, too.

Mmmm thick meat loaf sandwich.

Because hes the voice behind some really iconic songs...i mean sure hes old and kind of sad now...but at one time, man...meatloaf was the shit.

And because i would do anything for love...but i wont do that...

Meatloaf is poor people food. You combine 1 weight low-quality minced meat with 1 weight Other Ingredients to create 2 weights of well-tasting meat dish.

Now obviously this doesn't mean meatloaf is bad. I love it. But it's exactly the kind of thing you'd spur if you were busy hating on poor people.

I feel like this is probably the truth. Or, even worse, school meatloaf. Also the name is unfortunate. It's not very flattering, very easy to make fun of.

Me neither. My mom made a great meatloaf when I was a kid. I imagine a bad meatloaf would probably be dry and/or bland from use of cheap meat, too much filler and not enough egg.

They're faggots or their mother fucked up royally. Those same faggots probably make meatloaf sandwiches and call them burgers. How much you wanna bet?

>tfw memories of dad shouting up the stairs "din dins ready"

My mom is a mediocre cook who makes a great meatloaf.
>Delicious ketchup shell exterior
>Zuchini and onion mixed into the deliciously moist interior
>Roasted potatoes that have absorbed the fat that leaked from the loaf

She oversalted it once, but otherwise it's been amazing every time.

>not to like meatloaf?

European by birth here, grew up in the US. I hated meatloaf for the longest time because the only versions I had were ineptly prepared--either the slop from the school cafeteria, or this crap a friend's mom used to make (only ingredients: ground beef and frozen peas. no seasoning except ketchup on the side)

My family never made it so I never grew up eating it.

Since then I've had it a couple times that were well made, and it's great. I think the only problem is that for every good meat loaf there's a dozen shitty ones.

It's easy to fuck up
Also television

Meatloaf is for people who are too lazy to make meatballs.

I'm from Britbongsteros and I've never eaten Meantloaf.

Veeky Forums describe it to me. What is it like?

>Meantloaf
It's like a loaf you mean't to eat but didn't.
>tl;dr: You're a fucking mong.

its a big block of meat

I forgot to add I've been drinking.

Yes I meat too.

Meatloaf is great, but only if it's made with barbecue sauce

Making it with ketchup is a sure sign that you're white trash

It's sort of like densely packed ground beef, a bit like hamburger. Covered in a sugary tomato sauce.

>I forgot to add I've been drinking.
Is that an excuse?

>drinking
It's a Thursday evening, which bacchanalian city do you live in? Glasgow, Cardiff?

>Veeky Forums describe it to me. What is it like?

Imagine a giant meatball that you cut slices off of. That's literally exactly what it is.

It's not that far off from you guy's hamburger recipes either: minced beef with a bunch of other shit added to it (breadcrumbs, egg, seasonings, minced veggies). Only real difference from that (or meatballs) is the shape, and the fact that it's usually baked in the oven.

>"anoon I made meeeetloaf for dinner"
>see like three pounds of meatloaf in a casserole tin
>put some on a plate
>"oh and watch out for pieces of paper, I forgot to take the paper off the ground beef but I think I got all the pieces out"
>I've already eaten several bites
>appetite immediately ruined

I haven't had meatloaf in like four years, I have a gag reflex thing with chewing wood/paper and the association with meatloaf won't go away now

>Covered in a sugary tomato sauce
Only in your dystopian shithole country, Sharty.
Here in first world nations we make a rich onion gravy to serve with it.

I like meatloaves but why have a meatloaf when you can have a meat pie?

>make a rich onion gravy to serve with it.

From a packet, of course. Only the finest to go with the meat loaf.

Trying to gain internet forgiveness for shitty spelling.

Rural Wales matey boi.

I love meatloaf so much

I don't hate meatloaf, but you can take pretty much all the ingredients for it and make burgers instead.

I'd rather have burgers than meatloaf.

>my mom always made great meatloaf but she only made it once every few months
>when I asked her why she would always answer "I thought people didn't like meatloaf" and then forget that I actually liked it
Fuck everyone else for not liking their shitty mom's shitty meatloaf

If you know someone that has put ground turkey in a meatloaf, it is your duty as a human being to take away all of their kitchen tools and make sure they are never allowed to cook again.

My dad used to always use saltines.

I switched to ritz crackers and have never gone back.

How does Veeky Forums make their meatloaf sauce?

I usually go:
2 parts brown sugar
2 parts ketchup
1 part mustard
Then Paprika to flavor.

Meat pie is one or two steps beyond the effort I'm willing to put forth.

>Grow up never eating meatloaf
>Always see people on TV memeing it up that meatloaf is terrible
>Mom makes meatloaf, hesitant to try it
>Realize it's fucking delicious and TV is fucking stupid

Pic related is what you need for amazing meatloaf.

boston market has some pretty dank meat loaf, but they don't put enough ketchup on it. Meat loaf is the only acceptable dish that you can put ketchup on.

speak for yourself. i love meatloaf especially cold on sandwiches
