Meatballs, meatloaf, Salisbury steak; what's the difference?

Reminds me of the jokes about all Mexican food is the same: Mexican Food

6 months in Mexico, and I can assure you, Mexican food is so diverse that the French would be horrified, the Italians would be amazed and the Spanish would be crying over their paella.

I agree! Mexican food, once you get out of the Americanized "tortilla, cheese, meat or veggies" rut, is pretty fascinating. I once tried making a Oaxacan mole negro. It was VERY good, but it had nearly 30 ingredients and was an all day job. Perhaps I will make some albondigas ( Mexican meatballs ) and serve in a mole. A mole that I pick up by the pint from The Red Iguana, a local Salt Lake City restaurant, known for its Mexican food. A lot easier than making a batch by hand. And maybe incorporate some zucchini into the dish for the current challenge. Hmmmm....
