I think I'd call that a meat dumpling Dina, but I bet there's all sorts of names for something like that! ...sounds good no matter what it's called though, and as far as Shecky's avatar goes, I think it looks a lot like a kitteh that's about to sneeze really hard!

I'll reserve you a portion of the dinner I am cooking...meat bread (er, I don't know if you call it like that. It is like a roll made from minced meat, with some veggies insiide). It has a topping of parmesano cheese.

Is it rolled up in bread/pastry and then sliced, making sort of a round pinwheel thing? Whatever the case, it sounds like something universal and yummy. And parmesan makes EVERYTHING better.

Dina, when you want to try the Witches, go for Lords and Ladies. That's one of the books I use to get people addicted to Discworld, period.
Dina:
Shecky and Tallgrrl: no, it is not a ball (like a dumpling) and it has not bread nor pastry. Let's see if I can describe it.
Take the meat and add some condiments and egg (as if you were planning to do meat balls). Then take a rectangle of aluminium foil. Extend the condimented meat over the aluminium, making a thin layer. Press well, to make the meat compact. Then, put some raw veggies and/or some boiled egg (you can also add cheese) near one of the long laterals (parallel to it). Mine had some bell peppers today. Then began rolling the meat with the aluminium to help you (as if it were a mini carpet that you wanted to transport). Each time you complete a turn you have to press the meat to make it firmer, more compact. (You don't have to make an aluminium roll, just use it to help you working with the meat). It looks like a bread (that is why it is called "meat bread" here). Then, just put it in the pre-heated oven. When it is quite cooked, add some parmesan to melt over the meat!
You can cut slices and eat it warm, or cold the following day. You can freeze it, too.
Mine was tasty!
Mickey: Thanks for the tip!
BTW, I want to complain (not to you, I just want to vent aloud, sort of) about international rights politics for books. Some years ago, I bought some discworld novels (an some of Dresden Files books too) for my Palm, at Palm Store. They were not very expensive, and very practical. But then, one day, they decided I can't buy any more of these books because I am in South America (and so is my credit card). It really, really made my life worse and I don't forgive it (snif!)

Dina - Sounds like a local variant on what I would call a meatloaf. I'll have to try it that way...
Gotta add that Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg are my favorite characters in Diskworld. (Not that I don't really enjoy all of them...)
"Wyrd Sisters" is my fave, followed very closely by "Witches Abroad"! But there are no bad Diskworld books...
