Looking Into The Life Of A Teenager

By Meaghan Allen

MEATLOAF

Possibly the most well known and made 
fun of meal, meatloaf is a family food staple. 
Composed of eggs, meat, and anything ranging 
from Worcestershire sauce to onions, meatloaf 
is the grand concoction of leftover food at its 
prime. Growing up, I despised the loaf; the 
texture was wrong and the burnt ketchup on top 
was unnecessary. Then, years later, my dad and I 
created our own version, and I was converted to 
the meatloaf lover’s world. 

Aside from being absolutely delicious, there 
is more to meatloaf; there’s a sense of identity 
and family. Having eaten meatloaf at different 
households, I’ve come to notice that everyone 
makes meatloaf differently, adding different 
spices or veggies to the pile, inspiring new flavors 
and styles. Because of this, each meatloaf reflects 
a person’s flavor palate and a part of who they 
are. Heat junkies add jalapenos, horseradish and 
cayenne. Sauce lovers like me use breadcrumbs, 
BBQ sauce, Worcestershire and tomato sauce to 
make sure that the loaf is extra juicy. There is no 
wrong way to prepare a meatloaf, unless of course 
you burn it, and that’s what I love about it. So get 
creative and make your own variation. Discover 
your meatloaf self.
