Mooie ballen, alleen jammer van de kleine letters

MOINK hoort echt in Hoofdletters.
Zoals de geestelijk vader ervan, Larry Gaian, heeft ge-eist
Een leuk wetenswaardigheidje is dat Larry de regel voor het gebruik van prefab diepvriesballetjes heeft veranderd na een mail uit Nederland.
De Nederlander die daarvoor verantwoordelijk was is niemand minder dan onze eigen Noskos

(the Noskos rule)
Een klein stukje van de historie is hieronder te lezen.
Vergeet niet dat dit allemaal als grap is begonnen, zoals je kunt lezen in het artikel, maar dat neemt niet weg dat je het correct moet schrijven.

This story starts on June 6, 2008 when three members of the 10,000-member online forum BBQ Brethren had a barbecue lunch in Wichita, Kansas; Larry (screen name ?BBQ Grail?) Gaian, Ron (?Ron_L?) Lewen and Neil (?Nthole?) Thole. Their waitress, Ginger, told them their baby back ribs were beef. The men held their tongues, knowing full well that baby backs are always pork, but quickly coined the term MOINK for ?moo plus oink.? (Which of the three men first uttered the word is hotly debated.)
Two months later in California, Gaian wrapped bacon around frozen meatballs for a wedding reception and dubbed them MOINK balls.
?I don?t claim to have invented bacon-wrapped meatballs,? he stresses, ?but I applied the name, posted it on The BBQ Brethren and it has just gone nuts in two years.?
Gaian ? who is actually director of training and development for a subsidiary of Xerox ? is a backyard barbecue enthusiast who blogs at
www.thebbqgrail.com.
He insists MOINK be capitalized. At first, he demanded MOINK balls only be made with pre-made, store-bought, all-beef meatballs wrapped in pork bacon that are cooked outside over wood or charcoal. Then, after barbecue aficionados in the Netherlands wrote to say they couldn?t buy meatballs, he amended the rules on June 6, 2009 to allow for homemade meatballs. Seasonings, sauces and glazes are encouraged but not mandatory. (And try to work over indirect heat so your bacon doesn?t start a grease fire.)
