5 Meatballs Fun Facts
We know a scrumptious recipe is not enough for you. So, presenting you 5 amazing fun facts about meatballs. Let’s get straight to them!
- The origin of the meatball is uncertain, but some historians believe that Persia was the birthplace of meatballs, known as kofta in that region. Recipes for minces, meat mixtures that included peacock, pheasant, and rabbit, date back to the Roman Empire.
- Meatballs are a versatile dish, with every culture having its version. Some of the most well-known variations include Swedish köttbullar, Spanish albondigas, Dutch bitterballen, Greek keftedes, South African skilpedjies, and Indian kofta.
- Italian meatballs, known as polpettes, differ from their American counterparts. They are smaller and made with equal parts bread and meat, often including fish. Polpettes are usually served as the main course, sometimes in a light broth, and not with spaghetti and tomato sauce as is commonly seen in the United States.
- Meatballs were created as a way to use cheaper, tougher cuts of meat and stale bread, making them an economical and practical dish for families. Waste not, want not!
- The world's largest meatball was made by the Italian-American Club of Hilton Head Island, SC, weighing a staggering 1757 pounds. It took a year of planning, custom equipment, and a week of cooking to create it. Most of the meatball was donated to local programs to feed the hungry.
