Does IKEA in the US serve it this correct way?

u/FloppyDiskFish Dec 06 '16

Yeah. You can even buy the jam and meatballs. I visited IKEA this past weekend and walked away with meatballs and lingonberry jam.

Correct enough at least. My sister got stuff there when she was feeling like "going home" for a while when she lived in the US.

...they sell this at Ikea in the US. It's pretty much the only exposure to "Swedish" food anyone in the States gets.

It's not a bad choice, not at all. Mmm... meatballs...

u/fuckinea Dec 06 '16

It's the only Swedish food worth getting exposed to. They only make meatballs and surströmming.

Ligon berry jam tastes like cranberry sauce to this Canadian. Which is usually served with turkey

Good thing your country is neutral; I'd never want to go to war with crazy fuckers like that. Next you'll tell us you put ketchup on spaghetti.

Hmm, I worked at a grocery store in the midwest that had someone decide we needed like six cases of this stuff around the holidays and we never sold any.. it's still pretty much all there.. really over stocked. Kind of feel bad now D:

u/shame_confess_shame Dec 06 '16

So, kind of like cranberry sauce?

u/SnakeskinEyes Dec 06 '16

I'm confused as to HOW you eat the jam with meatballs. Do you spread it on the meat? Inject it? Spoonful of one then spoonful of the other? HELP ME UNDERSTAND

u/DanielLamplugh Dec 06 '16

Lingonberry Jam is my favorite jam

u/BillSkarsgard Dec 06 '16

Don't forget the brown sauce, bror.

I've tried lingonberries at IKEA, bitter as fuck. How does anyone eat those?
