9 March is National Meatball Day and although it is unclear exactly how this day was initiated, who can resist the idea of celebrating this day?
There are many different ways to celebrate the meatball, including:
– Spaghetti and meatballs
– Swedish meatballs
– Meatball subs
– Meatball pizza
– Turkey meatballs
– Lamb meatballs
– Porcupine meatballs (made with rice)
There are many more ways, but to name all of them will make a very long list.
Meatballs do not only allow for variety but they can transform from an appetiser to a side dish to a main dish very easily. Some restaurants serve as many as 54 different kinds of meatballs.
Meatballs can be made either the night before and kept in a crock pot, or even days beforehand and kept in the freezer.
To celebrate today you can visit your local restaurant and enjoy some meatballs. Or, you can cook up your favourite meatballs to enjoy either by yourself or with family and friends. Some restaurants give a free side dish of meatballs on this day, while others donate money to homeless shelters.
