Opps! Wrong group, sorry!


Not necessarily! In the Philippines we have them -- almondigas,
meatball soup. Here's a nice-looking picture, though I thought it was made
with thin wheat noodles, not rice noodles.

My mother seemed to make this quite well though I know nothing of it's
origin. It was simply described to me as Mexican meatball soup. I've
only
found it at a few places here in S Calif.

Is this a widely available traditional Mexican food? Is it regional?
If
it
is cross-regional does it differ from place to place?


If you do a search on the web, there are Mexican, Honduran, Spanish, etc,
albóndigas. It certainly originates from Spain, maybe even from the Arabs,
since the word comes from Arabic.

I do remember my mother always kept a mint plant growing in the yard,
seemingly only for a key ingredient in albondigas. And yes, my mother
contributed the Danish half of my heritage, guess paternal grandmother
taught her well in the kitchen.
