I like meatloaf.  It is basically ground meat mixed with other things to form a loaf and then baked. 
I actually dont think ive ever had meatloaf surprisingly enough
It is a German dish and is related to the Dutch inspired meatball. 
Oh wow its german? it is so popular in america i wouldnt have thought so
The american version is heavily influenced by scrapple which is also a German-American invention. 
oh ok so there is a difference then.
American style meatloaf didn't appear in cookbooks until the late 1800s.
