The meatball thing came from Ikea 100%

Oh? Like the US and their statue of liberty? Or the Dutch and their tulips?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The statue was given by the french, but the USA started by giving one to France IIRC (they paid for the first one in Paris if I got that correctly). It's obviously smaller, you can see it on one of the bridges in Paris.

Actually there are a whole bunch of them in Paris, that's a little rabbit hole if you're curious.

i mean maybe that's what made it well known outside sweden, but meatballs are also a bog standard thing inside sweden.
Meatballs with mashed potatoes, gravy, and lingonberries is the "default food" basically, like fish and chips in the UK.
