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

That looks very unhealthy. I want it.

They should put a popsicle stick in it and sell it at food trucks.

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.

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.

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

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.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
If it had been baked, there’d surely be some dark bits, right?

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?

Aaah, giant meatball. The hallmark of a d grade Italian restaurant.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 19 hours 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.

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).

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 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.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
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

There is some editing fuckery going on unless those are giant rigatoni noodles as well.

Brocolli in the back and fork on the left. Looks like a half size plate. Still big but not as massive as it seems.

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