have never bought a good one, they always taste artificial to me - I make my own, a little grated carrot and some really fine chopped celery, sometimes a little grated parsnip (depends who is eating it as not everybody likes parsnip) about 3 cups of fine chopped nuts (brazils, walnuts, pecans, hazlenuts,chestnuts - I dont use almonds if I can help it they make it a bit too sweet for my tastes) mixed herbs but especially basil and oregano, about 1/2 - 1 cup of fine breadcrumbs and 2 eggs (3 if they are very small eggs). mix the lot together and put in a greased and papered loaf tin. Mixture should be slightly moist , not runny,and crumbly. cover over the top of the tin with greaseproof paper to prevent it drying out too much whilst cooking and cook for an hour to an hour and half in a medium oven. If you prefer a more moist loaf some people cook in a bain marie but I think it is an unecessary faff!

when it is cooked you should be able to stick a skewer in it and it comes out clean or very nearly clean, if there is any goo on the skewer it needs longer. When cooked turn out onto a plate and leave to rest for 5 mins before cutting
