Moink Balls - from scratch?

I want to make Moink Balls for tomorrows Grey Cup but would prefer to make my own meatballs, anyone here have a really good recipe for meatballs?

I'm also planning on making wings and Hodags. Montreal is favorite and should be a good game!

Moink Balls are a combination of ground beef and ground pork (MOO+OINK) wrapped in bacon. After that it's all up to you.

Bonjour Maxim,

I have done up this recipe from Epicurious.com:

I took it to a birthday party and it was a hit :P.

Who do you think will win the big game?

For a minute there I forgot who was playing :blink: :unsure: :P . The Grey Cup is the only CFL game I actually watch :laugh:. Since your Alouettes have lost their last three times to the dance, I will be sure to cheer them on.

Not correct Pete. They are made from ALL BEEF meatballs, wrapped in pork bacon.

From the "other forum":

OFFICIAL MOINK Ball Rules:

IMPORTANT RULE CHANGE:

After careful consideration by the Governing Board of IMBAS the following rule change as been adopted, effective immediately.

1. MOINK Balls will be made with ALL BEEF meatballs, wrapped in PORK bacon. Seasonings, sauces and glazes are encouraged but not mandatory. In the past MOINK Balls were only made with pre-made, store bought meatballs. Due to the international appeal of MOINK Balls and the lack of availability, in some localities, of store bought pre-made meatballs, HOMEMADE meatballs will now be acceptable provided the meatballs are made with no other meat other than BEEF. The standard binding agents are approved. Keep in mind the beauty of MOINK Balls is simplicity. Don't get too fancy on the binders/fillers. (This rule change will forever be known as the NOSKOS Rule)

2. MOINK Balls must be cooked out of doors using a wood or charcoal fire. Balls cooked indoors or using a fuel source other than wood or charcoal can not be considered for certification. It is important to note that pellets that are made of wood are acceptable as a fuel source for MOINK Balls.

3. The use of the term MOINK Balls requires the proper capitalization. Failure to capitalize MOINK Ball will result in your application being denied.

While not TRUE MOINK Balls, I prefer using bacon-wrapped Italian sausage (no beef hamburger). They turn out great.

Who said we are not a proper organization.
We have rules of order and decorum.
And tidy little written things.
