Lemon's drop-inn

Do you use seasoned breadcrumbs or do you add your own seasoning? What meat/breadcrumb ratio do you like? How about egg?

[MissAutumn]

It's been awhile since I dropped in. Oo you're all talking about food. I never knew meatballs could have breadcrumbs in.

[galled]

Welcome back!

Meatballs usually need breadcrumbs or similar or they can get to be rubbery in texture.

I add my own spices and seasoning. I don't remember the ratio. Aaaaand I do add eggs.

Wb.

Yeah, and I think it helps stop them from falling apart. Or was it that too much breadcrumbs causes them to fall apart more easily? I don't remember.

[galled]

What spices and seasoning do you use? Garlic and oregano I assume. Anything else? I've seen people add sugar. That's weird to me!

[MissAutumn]

Well you learn something new everyday. I remember making meatballs once. Unfortunately, I don't remember if they came out well.

Sugar doesn't sound like it would work.

[galled]

I can understand the sentiment behind adding sugar, but it doesn't really work. I suppose it's trying to "fix" bad tomatoes perhaps? Tomatoes are a fruit and contain a lot of sugar by themselves and less flavorful ones might lack sugar??

A good meatball (and accompanying sauce or gravy!) can be a meal in itself!

sugar just makes it sweeter and I think its done to try and cut the acidity...don't quote me on that though.

[npixelz]

I don't remember the spices and stuff I use, sorry.

Let's hope they did.
I agree.

Maybe.
Yeah, meatballs in barbecue sauce are delicious.

That might be it.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I have had meatballs in barbecue sauce before and also mini hot dogs in bbq sauce as well.

[npixelz]

Man, now I want hot dogs.

[MissAutumn]

I'm at the beach and I can't find any ice cream parlours that are open. It's so weird.

[npixelz]

Sounds like no fun

[Lemon Cheesecake]

our beach stores sell a lot of ice cream & gelato but I think they close by 9 pm in the summer and earlier in the winter months.

[npixelz]

The beaches I go to don't have ice cream shops, or at least, I don't remember them having any
