I remember the first time I had traditional PA Dutch ham loaf. It was at this awesome restaurant in Lancaster, PA. It was a family-style restaurant, which I loved, but my husband did not haha! When they seated us with strangers my husband thought he was in the Twilight Zone. He managed to survive the experience and was just as impressed as I was with that delicious ham loaf. Yum!

Sorry , I meant to say,” what does 1/2 cup 4C Bread crumbs , mean ? “
4C is a brand of bread crumbs. Using 1/2 cup of any good quality dry breadcrumb of your choice should work fine.
