You can buy Swedish meatballs at IEKA??????

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

U been living under a rock or something? Fuck yes you can. They even have vegan (maybe vegetarian) ones too, and chicken Strips for kids and a few other things. Their restaurant is not bad, sometimes I'll take the kids there to get something I could easily grab at Walmart/ target just to get some swedish meatballs.

Hey that's a bit rude there :<

But yeah I've never seen meatballs at Ikea. Very cool. Thanks for sharing :P

Pretty sure the idea here is that it was outlandishly overreacting for humor.

Anglais Ikea has marketed fecal-contaminated horse meatballs and chocolate pies. Bon appΓ©tit!

We in the US have gotten used to eating shit since January. Politics aside, I also still eat Chipotle.

Made of or made for?

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

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. :)

Id chow down on your meatballs, lovesausage.

Only until you have watched Sebastian Lege analyzing it. Amazing documentation.

ligma balls

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you get a Swedish flag on those in the states?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Absolutely. This is the store in Tempe, Arizona.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Bachans Japanese BBQ is so good. Getting expensive. But damn it's delicious.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Their vegan meatballs are also excellent.

This photo has so little colour it's almost monochrome.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I meant no offence to your balls :) The whole photo is like that. Could just be your camera, or your lighting.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I can't believe you would just post a pic of your balls like that
