Not Your Mama’s Meatball Night at Terrace Retirement


 
Almost every culture has some kind of meatball.  In the United States meatballs are usually associated with Marinara and some kind of pasta.  At the Terrace we recently decided to introduce the residents to other cultures take on the meatball.
Somewhat to our surprise almost everyone enjoyed themselves and we have incorporated a couple of the most popular items into our cycle menu.
Italian Wedding Soup:  Traditional wedding soup with  little meatballs, spinach, vegetables, and pasta in a zesty chicken stock.
Mediterranean Meatball Salad:   Marinated Meatballs served with a salad of marinated vegetables lettuce and tomatoes.
Steamed Chinese Dumplings:  Flavorful pork meatballs steamed with cabbage served with broth and cabbage.  Rice and Crab Wonton on the side.
 Indian Curried Meatballs:  Spicy beef Meatballs with a sweet curry sauce over rice with Nan bread.
Hungarian Meatballs: Pork and Beef Meatballs in a vegetable sauce flavored with Hungarian Paprika and Sour Cream.  Served over noodles with Dilled Carrots.
Florentine Meatballs:  Turkey , Spinach, and Parmesan Meatballs in a rich Alfredo Spaghetti.
