  This curry-flavored meatloaf recipe made the rounds
  years ago, when kaffir lime leaves were unknown here.
  Most people used bay leaves instead, or even lemon oro
  range leaves from a backyard tree. However, it takes
  the kaffir leaves to add the proper touch of delicate,
  lemony perfume.
  
  Soak bread in bowl with milk to cover until soft, then
  squeeze dry. Saute onions and apple in skillet with
  butter until tender and not browned. Add bread, lamb,
  curry powder, sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper and
  raisins. Add one beaten egg and almonds and mix
  thoroughly.
  
  Pack mixture lightly into 9x5" baking dish. Arrange
  lime leaves on top. Bake at 350'F. 1 hour. Beat
  remaining egg with milk. Stir in turmeric. Pour over
  meatloaf and bake 15 minutes longer. Serve with rice
  and chutney.
