In Lincolnshire, haslet (pronounced '/ˈhæslɪt/' locally) is typically made from stale white bread, minced pork, sage, salt and black pepper.[1] It is typically served cold with pickles and salad, or as a sandwich filling. In England, it is occasionally sold on a delicatessen counter.

''[[Embutido (Filipino cuisine)|Embutido]]'' (not to be confused with the Spanish ''[[embutido]]'') is made of well-seasoned ground pork, raisins, minced carrots, sausages, and whole boiled eggs. The meat is molded into a roll with the sausages and hard boiled eggs set in the middle. Another variation of the dish involves wrapping the meatloaf with pork crow or [[mesentery]]. It is then wrapped in aluminum foil (historically, banana leaves) and steamed for an hour. The cooked ''embutido'' may be stored in freezers. It is usually served fried and sliced for breakfast.<ref name="nyt">{{Cite news |last=Lam |first=Francis |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/magazine/the-rich-tradition-of-filipino-embutido.html |title=The Rich Tradition of Filipino Embutido |date=7 January 2015 |work=The New York Times Magazine |access-date=11 December 2018}}</ref>
''Embutido'' is sometimes confused with ''[[Morcón (Filipino cuisine)|morcón]]'' (also not to be confused with Spanish ''[[morcón]]''), due to their similarity in appearance. However, ''morcón'' is a beef [[roulade]], not a meatloaf.

The first recorded recipe for the modern American meatloaf dates from the late 1870s.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2017-03-06 |title=A Brief History of Meatloaf |url=https://www.bonappetit.com/story/history-of-meatloaf |access-date=2023-04-28 |website=Bon Appétit |language=en-US}}</ref> Those preparing the dish were told to chop up whatever meat was on hand, the meat most likely being beef. To that they added salt, pepper, onion, egg and milk-soaked bread. This meatloaf was originally served as a breakfast food.<ref name=":0" />[[File:Meatloaf close up.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sliced meatloaf topped with tomato sauce]]
During the [[Great Depression]], cooking meatloaf was a way for families to stretch the [[home economics|food budget]] by using an inexpensive type of meat and left-over ingredients. Along with [[spice]]s,<ref name="Meatloaf history" /> it was popular to add [[cereal|cereal grains]], [[bread]] or [[saltine]] crackers to the meatloaf to add bulk and stretch the meat. This tradition of additions still lives on, but with new goals: primarily, producing a lower-fat dish with superior binding and consistency.
Meatloaf recipes in America are typically made with a [[sauce]] or [[relish]], often applied before cooking. Many recipes call for a [[tomato sauce]] to be poured over the loaf, which forms a crust during baking.<ref name="Tasty">{{Cite web |url=http://www.tastymeatloafrecipes.com/ |title=tastymeatloafrecipes.com - Resources and Information. |website=www.tastymeatloafrecipes.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626094609/http://tastymeatloafrecipes.com/ |archive-date=26 June 2017 |access-date=3 May 2018}}</ref> A simple [[Brown gravy|brown]] or [[onion gravy]] or a can of [[cream of mushroom soup]] can substitute for tomato-based sauce, but the meatloaf is prepared in a similar manner. [[Barbecue sauce]], tomato [[ketchup]], or a mixture of ketchup and [[mustard (condiment)|prepared mustard]] may also be used. This style of meatloaf may be topped with a "meatloaf sauce" consisting of ketchup and [[brown sugar]]. Another variety of meatloaf, in the same style, is prepared by "frosting" the loaf with [[mashed potatoes]], drizzling a small amount of [[butter]] over the top, and then [[Food browning|browning]] it in the oven.

Meatloaf in America is normally served warm, as part of a main course, but it can also be sliced as a [[cold cut]] (and then used in sandwiches).
