response: I am not sure about the german story, but I know that the American meatloaf actually has origins in the scrapple served by German-Americans
original_response: Well, the American meatloaf stems its traditions from the German idea, but Americans mixed ground pork with cornmeal.  This started in Pennsylvania in Colonial times.
history: Do you like meatloaf? I don't have preferences for such items, I am a bot. Do you like your meatloaf baked or smoked? So I have only had one meatloaf I've ever liked, and it was really more like a chopped steak. I've never had smoked meatloaf! How do you even smoke a meatloaf? Haha I don't have information about that. But I know that the Meatloaf dish is traditional from German, belgium and Scandinavia Really?? I actually did not know that. Well that sounds really interesting Yeah, and the dish is made with meat mixed with more ingredients that is then shaped into a loaf I think I would shape it like a steak. Then maybe it wouldn't freak me out so much hahaha. So is there a German story behind meatloaf?
knowledge: American meatloaf has its origins in scrapple, a mixture of ground pork and cornmeal served by German-Americans in Pennsylvania since Colonial times.
