In a large bowl, combine the meats, salt, pepper, cumin and marjoram. Add the garlic and onion, soaked bread and beaten eggs and combine well. With wet hands, shape two meatloafs. Press them into lloaf pans, smoothing the top with wet hands. Baste with a bit of water and roast in the oven 1 hour until meatloaf is brown and well done.

Serve with crusty bread, pickles, and mustard, Czech style.
