Is she from the Midwest?
I used to belong to a now defunct mostly womens' forum and some of the ladies used to tell how that dish (sometimes w/ ketchup sometimes w/o) was a regular for entertaining. At first I thought it was on par with the running snipe hunting joke they used to pull my leg with but but no they were deadly serious.
On the other side they thought I was joshing when I posted my several course dinner dishes complete with written menus. Until one of them visited NYC during the holidays, came to my house for dinner and reported back that I weally weally was serious thus evening the score, LOL.
Gosh, I miss those people and communicating on FB is just not the same.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
We have the meatballs too down here in the south. Or they will put the same stuff on cocktail sausages.
I personally like meatballs with a slightly similar sauce but something I put together myself. Much less sweet.
Meatballs in some form or fashion like that are pretty usual for a gathering with "finger foods". Almost all of our work pot lucks tend to include them. Not sure it's something I would serve at a sit down dinner party.
