Ancient Persia is considered to be the birthplace of meatballs, as the inhabitants adored round meat balls.
The dish became widespread after the Italians transformed the recipe and invented a rudimentary mill, i.e. a meat grinder. The first official recipe for
meatballs
was stated in the cookbook of the Italian Pellegrino Artusi.
