replies: text: This article states: "American meatloaf[2] has its origins in scrapple, a mixture of ground pork and cornmeal served by German-Americans in Pennsylvania since Colonial times.[2]" Looking at the reference cited, it appears the connection to scrapple is one researcher's "belief" and doesn't, therefore, represent a general consensus. Indeed, as scrapple is a regional food item, it is hard to imagine that meatloaf universally stems from that tradition. More likely meatloaf is a descendant of many cultural influences or, just as likely, is a common sense solution to a similar problem: finding a cheap, convenient, and tasty way to extend meat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.90 (talk) 11:59, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

message: Should this article also mention that "meatloaf" is a somewhat well known cat position?  Its created when the two front paws of a cat are tucked neatly under its body while resting.

text: I have heard of this position.  What I haven't heard of is cooking meatloaf in a mug.  That's weird. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.97.235 (talk) 23:16, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Because head cheese is a mixture of meats, loosely held together with filler, as is meatloaf.  Joyous! | Talk 22:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The Romanian drob is not a version of the meatloaf, it's more a version of haggis, since it's made with lamb's organs (sometimes chicken or pig too), not made out of lamb MEAT. Get your facts straight please. -- 19th May 2011  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.115.211.113 (talk) 16:35, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The cold cuts article lists "Meatloaf" as a type of cold cut, with sub-items including Olive loaf, among others. Should this article mention those, or is there another name for these types of cold cuts? --Joe Sewell (talk) 16:53, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

message: So... I noticed something.  Pretty much every dictionary I've read online has this food split into two words: "meat loaf".  Like "cheese log".  I've also seen it as one word, but that doesn't seem to the the accepted form of the word everywhere.  That being the said, is it actually "meatloaf", or is it "meat loaf"?  08:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

message: The Dish section lists textured vegetable protein as one of the "binders, such as:". I've never heard of someone incorporating that in a home-made meatloaf, let alone really any dish. That ingredient is more in the realm of processed foods such as cup-o-noodle in the form of the fake meat bits. Going out on a limb here, but maybe someone was reading from the ingredients of a frozen meatloaf they purchased? It would make sense that a low cost frozen entre would include a cheap filler like that. I'll check back in a week or so and see if anybody has any input. Barring that, I think I'll pull that from the binders list. 50.174.135.49 (talk) 05:25, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

message: There is a problem with the link to the Italian translation, the page linked is https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polpetta#Polpettone but this subpage doesn't exist, the right link should be to https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polpettone
The real problem is that when I go to wikidata to correct the link I see already the right one! Am I missing something? Furjo (talk) 09:58, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Yes, the source is not reliable. As far as I know, there is no Indonesian meatloaf. The closest thing Indonesian ever owns something like a meatloaf is satay, a skewered minced meat, and it's more like kebab. What is mentioned in the source is meatloaf with Indonesian style sauce.
