/[5 Thumbs Up]
They’ve got more going on here than furniture. But I’m getting lazy and uninspired in my unemployment so I just decided to do a food review while I picked up some brackets to make some make-shift shelves. (see below) But back to the food review. Surprisingly, IKEA’s got a pretty good selection of food. Aside from the standard meatballs, they also now have prime rib, barbeque ribs, chicken marsala, pasta, salmon dishes, cold sandwiches and salads, pastries, and even the occasional all-you-can-eat crayfish festival. Sweden may have collaborated with the Axis Powers during the earlier half of World War II, but everyone makes mistakes; but this mistake-laden nation makes a pretty good furniture chain with a good food court.
[I spent $6.oo AMERICAN, and I’ve tripled my storage space. NERDY!]
So here it is…Swedish meatballs. You get in a cafeteria-style line and this is the thing to get. You can get pretty full for just $5.oo with the meatball plate that they give you. It comes with 15 meatballs, potatoes, gravy, and lingonberry jam. The drink, crispbread, and soup were extra…but they’re worth it, and this is how it’ll cost you. My simple $5.oo meal ballooned into a $9.oo meal in the blink of an eye…in Korean there’s a saying about how the bellybutton gets larger than the belly…whoa…maybe it’s just a Korean thing, cuz that sounds so awkward and asian. But to wrap it up, it tastes good, but it’s not worth driving to an IKEA just for the food. But if you need to buy an EKTORP COUCH or BILLY BOOKCASE, then have lunch here.
[It’s just regular meatballs with a flag in it…but it’s good.]
[FACT: This flag is the only thing that makes any food Swedish.]
Just by sticking a flag into different food, I was able to make 1) Sweedish Big Mac, 2) Sweedish Donkatsu Dinner Combo, 3) Sweedish-Korean fusion noodles, and 4) Sweedish-American Apple Pie.
[It’s so easy to make Sweedish anything…just look at it.]
