Meatballs are the bread and butter of Italian-American cuisine. Or would that be bread and olive oil? Or garlic bread? No matter… meatballs are a staple. When you first think of pasta, you might think of a pile of spaghetti topped with glorious brown balls and a river of red sauce. When you first think of a sub, you might think of a meatball sub, the soft bread drenched with delicious sauciness.
Meatballs are one of life's greatest treasures. No matter if they're big or small, meat or vegetarian, Swedish or Italian, they please the masses. They're the best part of going to Ikea (besides fighting with whoever you came with). They're round, pleasing, and ready to handle whatever sauce comes their way. That's why we take today to celebrate this beloved food. And what better way to celebrate than with a meme list that understands their meaty, ball-y power?
