Never-the-less I decided to (pretty closely) recreate it. Rather than regular chicken eggs I went with a dozen of the little guys - quail eggs. These were added to a beef mince, slow-fried-in-butter-translucent onions, Panko bread crumbs, a hens egg (for binding), Worcestershire sauce, tabasco (my addition because tabasco and Worcestershire sauce are best friends) - then the whole lot was wrapped in bacon. If you want to catch yourself a Biggs you've got to tempt her with bacon.
To balance the meatiness I served the meatloaf with a packet salad with added cucumber, yellow capsicum and tomato.
This was a pretty good dinner, I probably went a slice too far and over-extended my belly.
News Flash: Biggs and I are working on the ultimate Nigella Lawson drinking game. Stay tuned for details!

There's a weird positive happy vibe in our, usually surly, household tonight. For that, if that's something you're into, I can only think to thank the meatloaf. I'm glad G had given away with the vegetable-ridden dinners.
This was in no way like the dry, overcooked, breadcrumby meatloaf of youth that was recycled into school sandwiches for weeks on end.
This was absolutely divine*.
*That's a drink.
