Dutch Loaf" (Also called "Old Fashioned Loaf") is a luncheon meat made from coarse-ground lean Pork and Beef mixed or coated with savory spices, formed into a loaf shape and then smoked over a hardwood fire. It is a popular sandwich filler in the American Midwest and most major deli-meat companies make their own variety or variation of it.The name "Dutch Loaf" is probably derived from "Pennsylvania Dutch Meatloaf", a dish from rural Pennsylvania that is very similar to the formula for this meat product. The name "Old Fashioned Loaf" was probably adopted to keep it from seeming "foreign" to assimilated middle-class America.
