My toddler just pointed at my meatloaf and said, “Daddy, meatball cake.” Personally I think this is exactly the facelift meatloaf needs.

Meatloaf, since it will often have pork in it too, essentially a meatball cake.

My wife, who is from France, tried meatloaf for the first time. She said, “It’s good. Tastes like meatball cake.”

I tried calling meatloaf a meatball cake in an effort to get the kids to eat it without complaining, with mixed results.
