actually I’d like to try Food Loaves, the ingredients sound pretty good (and healthy)
does anyone happen to have the recipe?
thanks!
Yes. Beans, rice, raw potatoes, carrots, cabbage and oatmeal.
This is Pennsylvania’s official recipe for Food Loaf, aka Nutraloaf. Inmates typically eat 4oz. slivers with their hands, utensils are not provided and might eat nothing but this for as long as one week. While Pennsylvania’s recipe is clearly intended to be as bland as possible, some states, prepare recipes with garlic powder or other intentionally off-putting flavors.
Recipe courtesy of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections:
Recipe makes 21 servings.
10 ½ cups reduced fat milk, 2%
26 ¼ cups white rice, cooked
5 ¼ cups potatoes, grated raw, flesh and skin
5 ¼ carrots, grated
5 ¼ cabbage, shredded
15 ¾ cups oatmeal, dry
15 ¾ cups garbanzo beans, with liquid, mashed
1 ½ cups margarine
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients thoroughly in mixing bowl. Place paper liners in loaf pans, scale 29-30 oz. of batter into lined loaf pan. Bake for one hour and 15 minutes. Place on wire rack and cool thoroughly.

Mix the ingredients with oatmeal in water or milk to hold it all together. It doesn’t sound so bad. The Japanese essentially follow this recipe substituting buckwheat flour for the oatmeal and top it with bulldog sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce) and call it okonomiyaki.
Sounds like good Orthodox Fasting food!
