You won`t believe your taste buds. Now, my grandmother brought me a regular loaf-shaped loaf - meatloaf sized. She said it made several that size. I`ll have to ask her if she cooked it a different amount of time and if she really let it sit for a month before digging in. I don`t think I could wait that long!
