False hare and cucumber salad

Commonly known in Latvia as “Viltotais zaķis” (literally False hare, also known as Falscher Hase), and everywhere else in the world as a meatloaf, it is a dish that shows historical German influence and Latvian frugality. Apart from the fact that is made from mince, bread, couple eggs and optional veggies (all cheap and easily available), it stretches from easy dinner to leftovers for breakfast or lunch sandwiches. Serve it with mash potato, gravy and lightly pickled cucumber salad (commonly known in Latvia as Latgales salāti) and you have a feast!
