I've gotten the Alton Brown pancake recipe off Food Network but I didn't use
Google for it. I have searched for recipes but none of the others mentioned
here. We have good recipes for each with some variations of them.

Maybe for some people. I make meatloaf because I like it. I have had
meatloaf that I would not want to have to eat, but mine is pretty good.
I have also had meatloaf in restaurants that was incredible. I wish mine
was as good.

Chili, meatloaf and pancakes are also comfort foods. Cheesecake is
getting a little pricey to make; 8 oz blocks of store brand cream cheese
is now about $1.58, unless it is on sale.

Poking around on Wikipedia, I found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_pudding

It's sort of a meatloaf that's been battered and
deep-fried. Sounds horrible to me, but I wouldn't
be surprised if it could be popularized in this
country. If I were a sociopath, I'd consider
starting a fast-food restaurant to sell this.

I wonder if I'd ever have to buy any frying fat?
Maybe the "red pudding" itself would render out
enough to maintain the level in the fryer.
I like that euphemistic name. Sounds better
than "cheap meat fat roll".

That's not recession food. It's all meat.

You think that's expensive? Look at the price of ground meat!
Meatless chili might qualify as recession food though.

Same here. I like meatloaf

Recession food... heh. This person obviously didn't grow up with parents
who lived through the *depression*. If you could find meat then, good for
you. More like picking dandylion greens. And if you picked turnips you got
of turnips along with the greens.

If it's good I like it too. I do mine in the smoker or in a weber
kettle. NEVER using Kingsford. As usual - bryan has no clue what
it's babbling about. By the time you grind the meat and add whatever
else to the mix, and pay for the lump or wood it's hardly a cheap
meal. Mine is the best I've ever tasted and gets requested all the
time. There's no secret to a recipe other than grind your own meat
and cook it over a real fire.

Sounds like an extra thick burger, not meatloaf. Oh, and I don't have
to pay for wood. My sister has an acre of mostly mature shagbarks,
and I have peach and cherry from my own back yard. Lump is reserved
for inclement weather, when wood would be too much of a hassle. I
keep store brand briquets around sometimes when I get them giveaway
cheap. They can be a decent base for wood when they are all the way
ashed over, but I've gone one or two seasons in a row over the years
without touching briquets. I sure as heck wouldn't pay Kingsford
prices.

When I bake a cheesecake, I use 5 blocks of cream cheese, so now it
costs almost $8, just for the cream cheese. Before Thanksgiving, it was
on sale for .99, but that is not their every day price. Before, I never
had a problem finding cream cheese for .99, and it would be on sale for
..69. I hope this price increase is temporary, but I am finding this
price in all the stores where I live.

Do you have Aldi in your area; the most recent ad I saw had cream cheese at
..79 vs. their usual .99 cents

Cream cheese is rarely cheaper than $1 here (Boston). Although, I
did find it on sale 10 for $10 right before T-day. My cheesecake
recipe requires 2 lbs. It's not a cheap dessert.
Philadelphia brand usually runs around $1.39 or so per 8 ounce
package. The store brand is usually $1.19.

As for the googled recipes - I don't think I googled for any of
them. I have recipes for all except the meatloaf - and I never make
meatloaf. The husband hates it. I haven't had meatloaf since I was a
kid. It's just one of those things I can live with I guess.

I have a friend whose husband loves meatloaf and whenever they go
out if meatloaf is on the menu he orders it. Now, I don't know what
sort of restaurants they visit, but I don't see it very often except
in very homey style diners.

Tracy
(trying now to think what the last recipe I googled.....lamb with
prunes maybe. I have never made it and I want to, except Lamb is too
expensive these days too - over $5 per pound for shoulder steaks.)

We do not have Aldi here, but I wish we did. :-)

Hardly! Unless one uses more filler than meat, meatloaf is not cheap to
make.

The way many people make 'chili' it could be recession food though. By
the time the beans and tomatoes have been added, don't need much meat
for a pot full. And any cheap cut of meat will work.
