Somebody told me awhile ago that those big household furnishings stores named IKEA have restaurants and that they serve reasonably priced tasty meatballs there and to carryout. Has anyone tried them there?

@ChrissyRyanDear Chrissy: Yes, IKEA is a Swedish owned company with stores around the world, the restaurants inside their stores serve classic Swedish foods such as Swedish Meatballs.... VERY VERY GOOD.
Italian meatballs that most of us are more familiar with sometimes include grated parmesan, as well as garlic, dried oregano and are usually served in a , often chunky tomato or marinara sauce.
Swedish meatballs traditionally smaller than Italian Meatballs and use spices like allspice, nutmeg, white pepper, and sometimes ground ginger as flavoring.... and are cooked in and served in a lighter color rich, roux gravy made with beef broth and sour cream.
You can look up recipes for Swedish Meatballs versus Italian Meatballs and you will see the difference. I like both types of Meatballs but generally the Italian Meatballs go with the meals that I make most often.
