Haslet ( Ground Pork and Sage Meatloaf)

woodland hues's Note:

My dear British hubby made this for me and I love it. Slice it up cold and serve with boiled potatoes and a salad. Or, like me, eat it while it's still warm.

I liked this. I had to substitute half beef and think it would be even better with all pork. I also substituted marjoram for sage, I just don't like sage. Oh and used buttermilk, which added a nice twang. Now as you can see I am not rating it bc I made so many changes. :) I will make it as is and come back to review. Just wanted to let people know it is definitely worth the effort. Very nice change from American meatloaf.
