my favorite food is meatloaf.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Meatloaf is a dish of ground meat mixed with other ingredients and formed into a loaf shape, then baked or smoked. The shape is created by either cooking it in a loaf pan, or forming it by hand on a flat pan. Meatloaf is usually made from ground beef, although lamb, pork, veal, venison, poultry and seafood are also used. Meatloaf of minced meat was mentioned in the Roman cookery collection \"Apicius\" as early as the 5th century. Meatloaf is a traditional German, Scandinavian and Belgian dish, and it is a cousin to the Dutch meatball. American meatloaf has its origins in scrapple, a mixture of ground pork and cornmeal served by German-Americans in Pennsylvania since Colonial times. Meatloaf in the contemporary American sense did not appear in cookbooks until the late 19th century. In the Turkish cuisine there is a meatloaf with vegetables dish called \"dalyan k\u00f6fte\".\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think I'm going to make meatloaf today.
