n.
meat formed into a ball
Meatball
A meatball is a generally
spherical mass of
ground meat and other ingredients, such as
bread or
breadcrumbs, minced
onion, various
spices, and possibly
eggs, cooked by
frying,
baking,
steaming, or
braising in sauce.Other foods are formed into balls, such as
fishballs and
quenelles (based on fish) and
dumplings (dough only).There are many kinds of meatball recipes using different kinds of meats and spices. While some meatballs are mostly made of meat and ingredients to cement the ball, others may include other ingredients. How one makes one's meatballs depends as much on one's cultural background as on one's individual taste. There are even "meatless" meatballs to satisfy vegetarian palates.
