There are several different types of meatballs that can be purchased either fresh or frozen from your local grocery store. While American homestyle meatballs are traditionally larger than Dutch or Italian meatballs, this has changed over the years and most of the meatballs you’ll see for sale are around the same size.  The biggest difference is simply in the types of meats and spices used in the meatballs. The different herbs and spices used in each recipe compliment certain dishes better than others. For instance Italian seasonings are often used in classic Italian meatballs, while Dutch meatballs may contain a bit of Worcestershire sauce.
