Those are some spicy meatballs!

Now this is what a meatball appetizer should look like. Three massive balls covered in a spicy sauce.

That's Italian!

They would also taste better.; August 30, 2013 at 3:16 AM

chickelit said...: No, it's been unseasonably muggy and I feel like cooking something outdoors instead of in the house. We live without A/C so hot weather makes me cranky.; August 30, 2013 at 11:21 AM
The Dude said...: You need Darcy, STAT!!!; August 30, 2013 at 11:55 AM
blake said...: There's a distinctive spice used in most meatballs (and breakfast sausage) that I really don't care for. I've been trying to identify it (as I recently had some good meatballs that didn't have it).

My mom suggested sage but I like sage. I'm thinking maybe cumin.; August 30, 2013 at 12:34 PM
Trooper York said...: Nobody puts cumin in meatballs. At least Italian Meatballs. There should be garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, egg and bread crumbs in the normal meatball.

Now my family comes from the Island of Ischia and they traditionally add raisins and pinnoli nuts. The first and last time I made that style for Lisa's family they lost their minds. So stick with the normal ingredients.; August 30, 2013 at 1:20 PM
ndspinelli said...: Fennel.; August 30, 2013 at 1:24 PM
ndspinelli said...: Trooper, I didn't know your people were from Ischia. Raisins are the Naples influence. My grandma was from Naples and she put raisins in everything..along w/ dates.; August 30, 2013 at 1:26 PM
blake said...: Nick!

I'll bet that's it!; August 30, 2013 at 2:19 PM
chickelit said...: Come on Nico, Troop's swarthy and lithe frame shows his Tyrrhenian background. There are people on ancient Pompeii murals who look just like him.; August 30, 2013 at 2:21 PM
chickelit said...: @Nick: Just check out the murals at Lupanar; August 30, 2013 at 2:24 PM
MamaM said...: Did you luck out with that one, El Pollo, or know it was there?

Sexual scene from a wall painting at the Lupanar; the woman wears the ancient equivalent of a bra; August 30, 2013 at 2:36 PM
chickelit said...: I was there not once but twice, MamaM. The images are fixed in my head.; August 30, 2013 at 2:49 PM
The Dude said...: His people had a sit down with the Ischial tuberosities.; August 30, 2013 at 2:59 PM
MamaM said...: I was there not once but twice,

LOL, and who knew your tool box was being stocked in preparation for such a moment as this, with the bra a perfect fit!; August 30, 2013 at 4:10 PM
ndspinelli said...: Chick, You are a man of the world, and a certified, "Good Guy!" That was an A plus link.; August 30, 2013 at 6:40 PM
chickelit said...: Nick, I know you're prurient in heart, so here's another link: link; August 30, 2013 at 7:03 PM
MamaM said...: Don't linger too long with the goat, ND, or you'll miss the lower delights.; August 30, 2013 at 11:46 PM
