Think Swedish meatballs, think IKEA – the global furniture superstore. In fact these delicious balls of Scandi deliciousness are very much part of the store’s recipe for success. They were first served in IKEA's restaurants in 1985, as it was felt that when customers got hungry and thirsty, they left the store early. Today over 2 billion meatballs are sold every year with mash, gravy and lingonberry jam. Too much? "Nej! Lagom!"
