Perhaps pinpointing the exact origin of the meatball is less significant than acknowledging its global popularity. Nearly every major culture has its own version of the meatball: Spanish albondigas, Dutch bitterballen, Chinese lion’s heads, South African skilpedjies. Kofte, too, is cooked everywhere from India to Morocco.
One possible reason for the meatball’s ubiquity … it’s an exceptionally accessible dish, simple and affordable. Meatballs can be made with nearly any kind of meat, and since that meat is ground and mixed with herbs and other flavours, cheap cuts of meat can be transformed into something delicious. Nowadays, there are also vegetarian and vegan options for this humble dish.

Swedish meatballs are the only ones I have made. But, I like others. I'm just lazy.
We like meatballs - so many good ones!
It's amazing how many types of meatballs there are. And all of these look so good.

I love making cashew cheese sauce. It's yummy. Been awhile since I did a proper red sauce bake. I should make one soon. Thanks, Jan.

Meatballs are not something I've ever taken to, but these look delicious.. I like the idea of pork and apple.
They all look delicious!
Thanks for sharing!
Take care, have a wonderful day!
Another delicious meal. I'd always commend your plating, so attractive.
We haven't had meatballs for a while. Thanx for the reminder.
God bless.
I like pork and apple meatballs. Thanks for mentioning italian meatballs with mozzarella cheese 😉 My wife sometimes cooks vegetarian meatballs made with lentils, chickpeas and parmesan cheese.
Great post!
I do like a good vegan meatball. The meatballs and courgette with the vegan cheese sounds good :-D
While I enjoy meatballs, I think of them more as a party snack (or Super Bowl dish) than a regular meal.
Good meatballs are just so tasty. Time to make some!
I don't eat meatballs very often I guess it's because they are so filling? Interesting recipes.
Those look good.
Excellent dishes as always, you whet your appetite just by seeing them.
Best regards.
Como es natural, yo hago las típicas albóndigas de España.
Un abrazo.

We really do enjoy a good meatball. In fact, we had a BBQ meatball casserole over the weekend. But I have copied down the recipe for two of these that you have shared. It's always fun to try new recipes.

Yummy!! Everything looks delicious.
I'd not thought of chicken meatballs, might have to give that one a try.
I haven't made meatballs in ages, the Italian ones sound the best to me
Son muy buenas las albóndigas, yo las hago mezcladas de carne de cerdo y ternera y son las españolas. Besos.
My mouth is watering at all these different meatball recipes. We love them in many combinations in this family and have them quite often. I think meatballs will be on the menu this week.
My mother would vary them. Sometimes Swedish or Hawaiian.
