Irresistible Fun Food: Meatballs

Admit it.  When somebody says meatballs, don’t you think Italian food?  Specifically, spaghetti and meatballs?  Right?  

Yet the history of the meatball shows that it started in Persia.  It was called “Kofta”.

Hmmm?  So Persia gets credit for the meatballs.  It’s cool!  The Chinese invented spaghetti.  They called it “noodle”.  But who cares?  Because now almost everybody knows what meatballs are.  Almost everybody knows how to make them.  Almost everybody has their own special recipe.  And people can think of a zillion and one different ways to enjoy this delicious fun food.  It’s not just for spaghetti!  Eat it in a soup.  Eat them as a sandwich.  Eat them as a Game Day appetizer.  Do them Asian style.  Do them Middle Eastern style.  Make them with meat or make them vegetarian style.  Make them in a crockpot.  Bake them in the oven.  Fry them in a pan.  All kinds of ways to enjoy the yumminess!
