This recipe was on the internet back in 2000 on the alastra.com site. I have made it three times now and have only one or two complaints. On the positive side, it it VERY VERY tasty. Has a nice, tart lemony flavor. The problem is that after you cook it (in a loaf pan) there is over an inch of watery liquid in the bottom of the pan. The recipe seems to STEAM the meat rather than bake it. As a result, the loaf doesn't hold together well. I've tried extra cracker meal, added torn bread, etc, but it still is VERY "mushy". It's too bad because it tastes SOOO GOOD !
