Having A Ball: How the Meatball Became a Global Citizen
November 1, 2018 @ 6:30 pm
$30
From our organizers:
There are few dishes that transcend modern borders like the humble meatball. From Ancient Roman recipes that feature peacock and dolphin, to the Persian kofta that radiated out from the Levant and found its way across North Africa and into South Asia, to the poetically named Lion’s Head of Shanghai; virtually all cultures have a version of the globular comfort food, varying in animal protein, spice, and size from menu to menu, country to country.
Join our panel of chefs and experts to discuss the globetrotting meatball through trade routes, colonization, globalization, and all the way the frozen food aisle at the local supermarket.
A tasting of meatballs from around the world and refreshments will follow the panel discussion.
This program is part of our Global Cultures, Global Cuisines series.
