    Wow. That looks violently delicious.

      I have never tasted a meatball that size that wasn’t poorly cooked.

      and the ones that I haven’t tasted but have seen looked dry as fuck

      I am skeptical

        Feels like some old fart just didn’t feel like rolling 30 balls, so makes 4 instead and calls it marketing. And probably Gordon Ramsay restaurant show levels of delusion about how “everyone loves it”.

    Aaah, giant meatball. The hallmark of a d grade Italian restaurant.

    source
    • TheTechnician27@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      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.

      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 sneezed

      It rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door

      It 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 cheesw, Hold on to your meatball and don’t ever sneeze.

    That looks like the meatball they didn’t expect anyone to order.

    That’s just a round meatloaf.

    • OrteilGenou@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      No, a meatloaf is early Borg protein, this is advanced Borg protein.

      We are fed.

  • Gullible@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    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.

    • dmention7@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      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.

      source
      • Gullible@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        If it had been baked, there’d surely be some dark bits, right?

      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.

    • nuggsy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      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.

        I personally can’t stand overcooking meat. Searing the exterior to trap the juices and then letting the meatball split or the sauce overcook just pisses me off. Why go to the effort of sealing in the juices if they’re just going to render out? My parents had many recipes involving overcooked ground beef, and all of them bother me. They might have been what spurred me into becoming a vegetarian. I honestly can’t remember, but there was a straw, camel, and a back to break

      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.

      Why would this be unsafe compared to something like a pot roast that cooks in simmering liquid much slower

      source
      • Gullible@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Temperature. Granted, liquids more quickly convey energy to solids than gas, but a low simmering pot of sauce should be below pot roast temps. Which is fine for a tiny seared meatball, but for a half kilo beef sphere? That meatball is like 5 cm thick. It would take a while to heat up the center unless you’re upping the temp, but then you’re interfering with the sauce. In short, it’s a major recipe change.

  • TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    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).

  • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    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?
