OK, I'll bite
What's a Dutch loaf?
What's a Dutch loaf?
From Wikipedia:
Dutch loaf (also called old-fashioned loaf, spiced luncheon loaf, and spiced lunch meat) is a luncheon meat made from coarse-ground lean pork and beef mixed or coated with spices, formed into a loaf shape and then smoked over a hardwood fire. It is a popular sandwich filler in America. Most major deli-meat companies make their own variation.
It’s called Dutch loaf because it’s German, naturally.
I had something very similar (no picture)
Multi-grain bread, mortadella, munster cheese, beetroot, piccalilli and a bit of rocket on top, just to ensure a few greens today.

And there is me thinking we were talking about the loaf of bread..From Wikipedia:

So it's the filling
Thinking maybe "gebraden gehakt"
Meatloaf(Gebraden Gehakt) ~200g
Or "rookvlees"
Smoked Beef(Runder Rookvlees) ~200g

Here’s a pic of what I have in the fridge:
Very much a loaf of meat, as you can tell by the shape.
Also, a word of advice, should you ever journey to the US in search of Dutch loaf - please don’t make the mistake of confusing it with the equally delicious German loaf, which is of course…also from Germany!

which is how the Pennsylvania Dutch got their name....It’s called Dutch loaf because it’s German, naturally.
Deutsch,,,, being a bit foriegn to the English sounds, turned into Dutch . . .
!7th, 18th and 19th century German protestant immigrants from the Rhineland.
Which would also explain why there are so many German recipes there!

yes, no, maybe - and 'it depends'
the definition/borders/edges of "Rhineland" changed many times throughout history.
Jakob Ammann (c. 1644–c. 1730) was Mennonite, but split from that, 'founding' a new sect which became 'the Amish'
the Amish communities ranged from Switzerland north to Holland, and curiously.... Russia.
they fled to America (largely) due to religious persecution; following in the foot steps of William Penn and the Quaker sect from UK.
as history wore on, the unity/division/etc has become rather complicated . . .
the three main groups - historically tagged as "plain folk" - Quakers, Mennonite, Amish
the Old Order Amish remain the most reactionary. the others have largely/semi integrated into "modern society"

What I took a pic of is the Dutch loaf we have. Yum!

Forum GOD!
I got a paid lunch today. It was all about service timings and I had to order more food than I could possibly eat so I've got dinner for later and breakfast out of the leftovers.
Chicken and gnocchi soup with breadsticks:
Fried calamari:
Chicken marsala stuffed with cheese and sundried tomatoes:
The chicken marsala was a bit too salty but still very good. The rest of the meal was delicious.
