chicago Cubs Goat Meatloaf

11/13/2016

I saw the exact moment the Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years, at 12:47 am EST on November 2, 2016(well, technically it was November 3 where I live). That winning moment inspired me to make this meatloaf, especially after I heard the sports commentators mentioning that the Curse of the Billy Goat has been broken. After doing some Internet research, I found other Cubs curses-
  • Curse of the Black Cat(hence the use of black garlic, because I don't eat cats!),
  • Curse of the Gatorade Dispenser(I didn't user Gatorade in this recipe because Gatorade gives me too many bad memories of the invasive colonoscopies I've had in my young life so far)
  • Bartman Incident(hence the inclusion of hot fudge topping, Butterfinger candy, and vanilla extract in this meatloaf. There's a Bartman flavored ice cream at a local ice cream shop, but that flavor pays homage to Bart Simpson. Semantics people!)

This was my first time making a meatloaf using exotic meat(my definition of exotic meat is anything that can't be found in a local supermarket, and thus needs to be bought online). According to my dad though, goat isn't exotic. 

The best description of what goat meat tastes like is this: meat with the consistency of ground beef but hints of lamb and chicken. 

I also got my inspiration for another ingredient in this meatloaf- the green apple. The late Cubs announcer Harry Caray said in 1991, “Sure as God made green apples, someday, the Chicago Cubs are going to be in the World Series — and maybe sooner than you think.”

In addition, I used the components of a Chicago-style hot dog(mostly). But when I say "mostly", I mean I accidentally used ketchup, which you never put on a Chicago hot dog! I omitted the use of poppy seed filling(Chicago hot dogs are served on a poppy-seed bun) because I tried the poppy seed filling I bought and it tasted horrible(read: like play-doh)! Sadly, I forgot to use celery salt and chili powder as well. 

But this meatloaf was the best I could do with what ingredients I didn't forget to buy. 

Full disclosure: I live nowhere near Chicago, but I do love a good underdog story. My favorite baseball team is the Yankees.
