Re: Re: How do I make meatballs?

 

 

I was poking around on the internet for some

alternative name that already existed but

have not yet found it. vegetarian meatballs?

Walnut balls? Tofu balls? Seitan balls?

TVP balls? Savory flavor balls? Nomeatballs?

Round clumps of stuff? Maybe there should be

a contest to come up with a

new name for meatballs.

 

Hm, this site calls them Neatballs.

ndfreebies.com/veg/neatballs.html

Which makes me think of veatballs.

Obviously these synonyms are for the wrong

type of meatball:

dope, booby, Inf. dummy, dumbbell,

meathead; blockhead, goon, klutz, lug,

palooka, schlep, schlub. .

 

Ooh, and I hadn't even thought of going here:

baby; beef-burger; client; cull; john; meal-ticket;

meatball; money-trick; patron; piper; punter; sucker;

 

Amazing what internet searches can come up with.
