If someone said that, I would read it as a literal translation from English. "Balls of meat" are abundant in the cuisine of many Arab countries, and each dish has a name، doesn't need to go with the English. In Egypt, that would be "kofta": kofta bil dim'ah, kofta Dawud Basha. True, we would use the verb "turn into a ball" كوّري اللحمة كُور صغيرة؛، but I would find it weird if someone called it كرات/كُوَر لحم. However, I HAVE seen a recipe in a Saudi cookbook called "shorbat koraat al-laHm". I imagine that this is a modern recipe with a modern name (the cookbook has lasagna and such new foods too). I am getting the feeling that old standbys, no matter how small and round they are, would never be called كرات لحم، but that new recipes welcome this name.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
