Meet Porcupine Meatballs: The Retro Dinner That Deserves a Comeback

When searching for dinner inspiration, it’s easy to always look for what’s new and now, but sometimes it’s worth looking to the past. While the trending recipes have a time and place, nothing scratches the comfort food itch like the dishes you grew up with (whether that was in the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, or beyond).

It’s not uncommon for retro recipes to have some pretty out-there names. From Frog Eye Salad to Broken Glass Cake, these titles often sound strange and even inedible, but don’t fear—their names typically nod to the recipe’s unconventional appearance. That’s certainly the case for Porcupine Meatballs, a beloved retro recipe we’d argue is long overdue for a comeback.
