I make smoked meatloaf on a regular basis. I use a 50/50 mix of beef and pork. I make my loaf, and put it on the Weber kettle with no pan, over indirect heat, with some hickory wood mixed with the charcoal.

It has been a while. I need to make one.

You may have converted me to a meatloaf liker. Anything smoked (well almost).

Aubergine, Moussaka back in the day was poor mans food. Sliced potato was used with very little sauce again like in Italy any left over cooked meat was minced and added to the sauce. I like this type of food. My favorite Dim Sum is Lo Mai Gai what I call Chinese shepherds pie because it is made with left overs.

I love meatloaf the day after.

Many in my area would argue that the whole point of meatloaf is to have it for sandwiches the next day. Standard diner fare here.

I didn't know that the aubergine version was considered to be more expensive. Surely aubergines have always been cheap and plentiful in Italy? To be fair - I don't really know!

Made spicy tuna & avocado sushi rolls today. The rolling is not quite chef standard yet, but the flavor is great.

I didn’t know it as well.
In Italy we have a vast cultivar of aubergines, mostly focused in Sicily and Southern Italy (since aubergines need sun and hot weather).
But they weren’t very appreciated at the beginning (probably Middle Age) as they were considered dangerous because of their colour and that’s why in Italian they were and still are called “melanzane” i.e. mele (apples), -nzane = non sane (unhealthy).

I think that by now someone should change their name is something more fair.

Make the loaf hours in advance, and park it in the fridge to firm up. It will sit on the grill grate just fine.
