In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together with fingers, making sure everything is mixed very well.
Start to roll into meatballs a little bigger than the size of a golf ball. You should get about 12 to 15 meatballs.
Add 4 cups of oil to a medium size fry pan. Heat oil on medium flame. When oil is hot, add 6 or 7 meatballs to the pan.
Make sure there is room between meatballs for even cooking. Cook on each side for about 3 minutes.
Place meatballs on a brown paper bag to drain off the oil.

"Veal" is young beef!!!!!! It is the difference in a young beef calf (veal), and an older beef animal.
Truth be, the ingredients are beef and pork when you ck animal facts. Just like a steak is a steak by many names for beef, but they are all beef.
