COOK'S CORNER : VARIETY OF MEATS, EVEN FISH SUBSTITUTE FOR BEEF IN LOAVES.


Byline: Marge Powers

Agnes Finney of Reseda has requested recipes for fish, ham, chicken or lamb loaves. She is tired of eating traditional beef meatloaf and wants a change.

I searched our files and found some basic, easy loaves. The fish loaf can be made with any type of fish; the ham loaf consists of smoked ham and pork. The lamb loaf is seasoned with a stuffing mix, and the chicken loaf can double as a turkey loaf.

Now your family can feast on a variety of loaves - keep these in your recipe files for quick family dinners.
