1 In Austria, fried meatballs are called Fleischlaibchen or Fleischlaberl. 2  In Belgium, meatballs are called ballekes or bouletten in Flanders, and are usually made of a mixture of beef and pork with bread crumbs and sliced onions. If they are fried (typically small meatballs), they are called kal-e gonjeshki (literally  sparrow 's head). 2  Both types are consumed with either bread or rice. 3  Typically, herbs are added, and for kufteh, usually the meatball is filled with hard boiled eggs or dried fruits.
