Review:
For the same reason we all love some good old Kraft dinner or processed cheese, many people love the taste of Ikea's swedish meatballs. In the "restaurant", it's normally served with lingonberries, steamed potatoes, and CREAM SAUCE! For thosoe of us who like to take the experience home with us, Ikea cream sauce is sold at their stores, and is provided by the lovely people at Knorr soups and sauces. I cannot in any way consider this gourmet dining, but I recommend this to anyone who enjoys Ikea meatballs at the store and would ilke to experience it at home without requiring a new couch purchase or additional EMU boxes. Ikea also sells the lingonberries by the jar and meatballs in the freezer. It's rare to leave Ikea with something that can fit in your pocket and can't furnish my apartment, so it's great to leave not empty-handed and not break the bank, I just wish it came with a cool swedish word on the package! So it's time to get your smorgaborg on, and roll out the old "kottbuller"!
