I was going to use tetched, but he's Canadian and thought he wouldn't get the meaning, maybe he didn't anyhow.

perhaps you are correct

I sometimes forget that they speak English and not American

Me neither! Just playing that in Texas will get you 10-20 in the pen for blasphemy and desecration. I bet it will in Missouri too!

That was my first choice, but I feared it would be lost on the 'Muricans.

I haven't made many meatballs, these were pretty much like I make meatloaf.
I was worried about them hanging together on the grill, so I partially froze them first.

Mrs Tim uses a recipe that has quite a lot of bread crumbs , or torn bread, in it AND about 1 egg per 8 meatballs. I think the egg is important for getting a rapid cook binding effect when cooking. Once the outer surface is holding together the meatballs are robust enough. Mrs Tim does the initial cook in a fairly deep fry, not enough to cover the meatballs, because she dislikes deep frying - too messy in the kitchen. Then she transfers it to a pot with the tomato sauce. I think freezing them first is likely to be more of a problem because it might result in internal fracturing, something like the decay of granite in a desert, with leaves of granite coming free of the rock as a result of temperature differential expansion induced stress leading to fracture.

Freezing solid maybe, I just let these get stiff and they held together great on the grill.
I used one egg, onion, seasonings, Hatch chile sauce, and dry bread crumbs.
I'll stop posting pics now before I'm accused of turning this into a photo thread.

even a short stay in the refrigerator helps the delectables bind better

we do all sorts of meatballs and meat loves

one variety for them there scots is to use oats and onions with whatever meat they prefer
a simple haggis wi'oot the gut sack?

they are vey dense and should stay away from tomato-based sauces/gravies

however we serve them with berry-based sauces and they are quite good
though perhaps a little extravagant for a dour diner
