A meatball is a ball of ground meat where the meat is rolled into a ball along with other ingredients, such as bread or breadcrumbs, minced onion, various spices, and possibly eggs, rolled together by hand, and cooked by frying, baking, steaming, or braising in sauce.

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 meatballs depends as much on one's cultural background as on individual taste. There are even meatless 'meatballs' to satisfy vegetarian palates.

From the Balkans to India, there is a large variety of meatballs in the kofta family.

The ancient Roman cookbook Apicius included many meatball-type recipes.

Albanian fried meatballs (Qofte të fërguara) include feta cheese.
In Austria, fried meatballs are called Fleischlaibchen or Fleischlaberl.
In Belgium, meatballs are called ballekes or bouletten in Flanders and are called 'kyufte' and are usually made of a mixture of beef and pork with breadcrumbs and sliced onions. Many other variations exist including different kinds of meat and chopped vegetables.
Chinese meatballs (specifically, a dish common in Shanghai cuisine) are most often made of pork and are usually steamed or boiled, either as-is, or with the addition of soy sauce. There are meatballs called Lion's heads. These can range in size from about 5 cm in diameter to about 10 cm. Smaller varieties, called pork balls, are used in soups. A Cantonese variant, the steamed meatball, is made of beef and served as a dim sum dish. A similar dish is called the beef ball and the fish ball is yet another variety made from pulverized fish.
Danish meatballs are known as frikadeller and are typically fried, and they are usually made out of ground pork, veal, onions, eggs, salt and pepper, these are formed into balls and flattened somewhat, so they are pan ready.
In Finland meatballs (lihapullat) are made with ground beef or a mix of ground beef and pork, or even with ground reindeer meat, mixed with breadcrumbs soaked in milk and finely chopped onions. They are seasoned with white pepper and salt. Meatballs are traditionally served with whopper gravy, boiled potatoes (or mashed potatoes), lingonberry jam, and sometimes pickled cucumber.
In Germany, meatballs are mostly known as Frikadelle, Fleischpflanzerl, Bulette or Klopse. A very famous variant of meatballs are Königsberger Klopse which contain anchovy or salted herring and are eaten with caper sauce.
In Greece, fried meatballs are called 'keftedes' (κεφτέδες) and usually include within the mix bread, onions and mint leaf. Stewed meatballs are called 'yuvarlakia' (γιουβαρλάκια) and usually include small quantities of rice.
In Hungary, as well as territories from neighbouring countries where Hungarian is spoken, a meatball goes by the name 'fasirt' or 'fasirozott' ([ˈfɒʃirt] or [ˈfɒʃirozotː]) probably coming from Austrian German 'faschierte Laibchen'. Also the 'májgombóc' (liver dumpling) is popular in soups.

World's Largest Meatball

The record for World's Largest Meatball was set several times in 2009. It was first set in Mexico in August weighing 109 pounds and then again a month later in Los Angeles when late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel helped set the record weight at 198.6 pounds. In October 2009 an Italian eatery in Concord, New Hampshire set the new record at 222.5 pounds. disclaimer: compensated affiliate
