I shall try my luck at the weekend, in case they are still on the menu.
Gary – meatballs are certainly a stalwart in Italian communities in America and I had some excellent ones in a cafe in Boston once, but they do originate from Italy.

Did this delicacy originate in America ?

If we aren’t successful in keeping them on the menu, that is! I very much need to try these…

I’m also a bit suspicious of meatballs, but absolutely love them.

I’ve been to your cafe once before, because of this column, and can confirm to all other readers that it is a marvellous and very, very friendly cafe (not that the word of GA needs doubting 🙂
