the.com/terrine
A meatloaf that went to art school and never came back broke.
means A coarse pâté or layered loaf of meat, fish, or vegetables cooked and served in a deep, lidded earthenware dish — and, by extension, the dish itself.
from From French terrine, meaning an earthenware pot, which traces back to Latin terra, 'earth' — the same root that gives us 'terracotta' and 'terrain.' The food took its name from the vessel it was cooked in, so a terrine is quite literally a thing of baked earth, doubling as both the dish and what's served from it.
