I like this recipe. Well, I love lamb... However, the condiments are very enticing - love the curry and chutney. A very exciting diversion from the boring and simple meatloaf.

Sounds so delicious! I don't eat lamb, so I would switch that out, probably for pork, even though I know they probably didn't use pork! It would probably be better than using beef.

Many people use beef, never heard of using pork but should be good too, i may even give it a try
