Do you get a Swedish flag on those in the states?
Absolutely. This is the store in Tempe, Arizona.
Ikea is a meatball company that also sells furniture
VW is a sausage company masquerading as a car manufacturer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_currywurst
I love blocking people that post stuff like this.
Mutual I’m sure
Wait aren’t you in the foodporn community? Is this not the purpose, to post pictures of food that the OP finds delicious? Either you’re very lost or you misinterpreted the “porn” part of the community name and wanted the mashed potatoes to take their pants off.
I am indeed in the food porn community and generally enjoy it. I said something negative about something as stupid as mass-produced meatballs in consumer market that doesn’t even operate as a restaurant. There’s virtually no difference between this and posting a picture of a crunchwrap. Hit me up with your sous videes and your pan sauces and your other things that you actually do that are impressive. Not your shopping trips.
I can make a sous vide that makes a crunchwrap look like it is ambrosia.
Look at their comment history. Par for the course. They don’t seem to have a positive comment for anything.
And they received a 1-week ban for this behavior. Rule 1 is literally hear “be kind” and that certainly wasn’t.
That being said, I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. They can come back in a week and are welcome to be kind. But any further disrespect will get them permabanned and their comments removed.
Lol ok
IKEA breakfasts slap.
Didn’t know they had breakfast!
Do they have lunch there?
They do. The one near me has a whole menu that changes regularly, aside from a few permanent options. Some of the items can be very good.
It’s a whole cafeteria setup with trays and a line with workers dishing out different things. Then you pay at the end of the line.
Did have them a week back. But IKEA is to Swedish cuisine what Taco bell is to Mexican.
Ikea really managed to pull off a magnificent marketing stunt.
They have the same furniture quality that you can get off of Amazon, Wayfair, or Walmart but you have to go get it out of their warehouse and deal with the logistics of getting it to your house. But they hand out some meatballs and give everything funky Swedish names; so people get the impression that it’s a fancy European experience.
China is the single largest manufacturer of Ikea products. I found that when I went directly to the source, I could get the same item cheaper or a better item at the same price. That deal is likely to die with the new tariff regime but that same regime will have similar impacts on Ikea.
IKEA started delivering furniture a long time ago, at least in Ontario.
Started in 1950 sometime in Sweden I believe

Nah but my home made meatballs with proper mashed potatoes, pickled cucumber, lingon rawstir (not jam) with 60% lingon, cream sauce with a kick ( using mango chutney instead of classic black current jelly) with sage and rosemary definitely is. :)

I need to go back to IKEA. But I need to make my own too.
With lingamberries yum!
Ligmaberries
ligma balls
They haven’t been as nice since they took the horse out.
Their vegan meatballs are also excellent.
Homemade
I can’t believe you would just post a pic of your balls like that
This photo has so little colour it’s almost monochrome.
I’ve made much better, these ones don’t have much colour because I made them in bulk to freeze. It was the only picture I had of my balls tho
Then you need to make proper Swedish meatballs. IKEA’s stuff doesn’t compare.
Do you have an authentic recipe? It’s always hard on the web to find out which “true 100% reals straight from grandma” recipes are the right ones.
Niklas Ekstedt’s recipe is authentic, Swedish, and tasty AF. If you can’t find venison, beef will do.
Juniper berries?
Mate I never touched her berries
Beeing Swedish I can confirm that a recipe by Ekstedt’s is not only authentic but probably really really good as well. He’s gotten a few Michelin stars over the years.
Proper Swedish meatballs are easy to make. Wtf is this fancy stuff? Nah man… Source: I’m Swedish.
Only needs minced meat, bread crumbs, eggs, onion and some spices. Source: am Finnish, we do meatballs too.
Well that just sounds like normal meatballs. What makes Swedish meatballs distinct?
They are the same.
Ikr where’s the frozen meatballs and powder mashed potatoes?!
Also needs more ketchup.
Well you took a treasured national meal and linked a recipe more advanced and different than the basic one most Swedes eat/do at home and said this is what meatballs is. That’s set up for comments 😄
Their plant based meatballs are good too. I pan fry them then toss them into a slow cooker with some bachans barbecue sauce, green onion, and sesame seeds for parties and potlucks.
Bachans Japanese BBQ is so good. Getting expensive. But damn it’s delicious.
I liked them better when they still contained horse meat.
I would 100% eat those. Even more likely to if they officially advertised them as being made from horse.
