Do restaurants associate meatballs with the wrong country of origin?
assistant
Yes, restaurants often associate meatballs with the wrong country of origin. Spaghetti and meatballs are a staple on Italian pizzeria menus in the US. The Olive Garden, an Italian family restaurant, has several dishes with meatballs. Meatballs originated in the Chinese Qin dynasty (221 BC to 207 BC), not in the Italian Qin dynasty.
