That looks very unhealthy. I want it.
Have you seen what most of us Americans eat!?

and the ones that I haven't tasted but have seen looked dry as fuck
I am skeptical

I don't want to imagine that cereal mascot
I do
Aaah, giant meatball. The hallmark of a D grade Italian restaurant.
This isn't necessarily true. Italian meatballs are usually small, but polpette alla Napoletana are often on the larger side. You just need to be discerning. (The one pictured looks pretty mid and still too big.)
Christ, that website has five layers of shit in the way.
Not with ublock :^)
With ublock I still got two layers
With my ublock, I got 3 popups. You're not kidding.
Fake: No. Anon went with their parents. Gay: No. Less than two balls present.
Fake: anon left the house. Gay: anon wanted more balls
Did it roll right out the door?
I always thought that song was so sad until recently when i looked up the full lyrics to the song and realized it had a happy ending.
The song was a parody of "On top of old smoky" and it was popularized by Tom Glazer who sang the song in 1963.
The lyrics he sang was
On top of spagetti all covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezedIt rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor.
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the doorIt rolled in the garden and under a bush.
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.The mush was as tasty as tasty could be,
And early next summer it grew to a tree.The tree was all covered with beautiful moss.
It grew great big meatballs and tomato sauce.So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze.
First thought this was a Aqua Teen Hunger Force reference - but this is much better. Thanks!
That looks like the meatball they didn't expect anyone to order.
That's just a round meatloaf.
No, a meatloaf is early Borg protein, this is advanced Borg protein.
We are fed.
Meatballs like that are a common dish in the Netherlands (gehaktbal). But mostly served with potatoes and vegetables. Or as a snack, cut in slices with onion slices in between and with peanut sause (bere bal or bere hap, bear ball or bear snack).
The question is whether it’s actually cooked. I don’t even know how long that meatball would need to sit, cooking in sauce. Small meatballs require 15 minutes to drink in the flavor but only 10 to cook completely through. This monster needs at least an hour on medium-low for a pink center. Is that even safe? How long can you let bacteria live in pleasant warmth and multiply before turning dangerous? Not to mention the lack of char, meaning this is just a boiled meatball with the texture of boiled meatball.
Whenever I've made homemade meatballs, we just bake them in the oven to cook, then either add to the sauce or serve separately.
I guess you'd just cook this monster like a lil meatloaf.

My nan got a recipe from this Italian lady, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The recipe says to cook the sauce for one hour and then you add the meatballs and cook them for 1.5 hrs.
You must giveth the recipeth hereth noweth.
Sure! As requested
It says to roll into small balls, but small could be anything depending on context.

I would guarantee this thing is overcooked to hell, dry as a paper towel in the center. It probably swam in day-old red sauce in a pot for 90 minutes to prevent lawsuits, then cooled off, cooking another 20 holdover minutes. Then into the fridge to be microwaved when anon orders it.
i smoke my meatballs/MOINKs for about two hours at 225. they're about 2/3 that size. they typically don't have char marks, but they have smoke ring.
God damn it why did I click that link. I knew better but now im hungry!

I ate dinner at a friend's house way back when I was in middle school (not like overtly Italian, pretty WASP-y), and his parents made spaghetti and meatballs, and the meatballs were about this size. I remember the meal being pretty delicious though.
Why the fuck do I even remember this bullshit?
Tablecloth checks out.
Betting this is (was?) Buca di Beppo. God I miss that place
Americans only know chain restaurants smh in sadness
They were just expressing they have fond memories of eating at a restaurant, calm down lol
I am not at all agitated, I truly feel for them. It is not their fault.
Well, I could mention local restaurants, but:
- That would dox my location
- You wouldn't recognize them anyway

What restaurant, though. That looks fantastic.
dude there's a... you know i always thought it was a chinese place but now i'm not so sure. at very least it was a southeast asian restaurant i used to live down the street from, and they had this meatball over rice they'd serve. i eyeballed it lustfully every time someone would order it but never worked up the courage. maybe in two weeks i'll ask the wife
