IKEA meatballs: Why are they so good?
November 23rd, 2005
“…15 meatballs in cream sauce, new potatoes, lingonberry sauce, soup or
salad, and drink (lingonberry soda, please) all for around $6.00 can’t
be beat. For me, it is half the reason to go to IKEA. And how psyched
was I the first time I discovered that they sold their
meatballs—frozen— the marketplace. I know people either love or hate
the Swedish meatball. And I know that they are infinitely better made
from scratch. But…but…there is something about an IKEA meatball.
They are perfect bites of savory goodness. They are equally bready and
meaty, and they are ever-so-slightly perfumed with nutmeg. Tangy-tart
lingonberry sauce complements them perfectly…”
