Thanksgiving Plate Meatballs

We have dreamed of this day all year. The day when the biggest plate is not a shame but a major life accomplishment. You know the holiday. Thanksgiving! At any given point in the year, Saucier Willy and I sit back and reminisce about the meals of Thanksgivings past. One thought came to mind. I wish we could make something that in one bite tasted like the entire holiday spread. I’m talking about the turkey, the stuffing, the veggies, the cranberry sauce, the cornbread, the gravy. These traditional American foods intermingled with fork tender oxtails, sweet potato stuffing, mutton, fried plantains and the various other traditional Caribbean dishes made famous in my family. One bite of this topped with our “Deliciously Dank Quick Gravy” will send you into late November nirvana!
