Meatballs with mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam and green peas – it is a truly Swedish dish. First mentioned in a cookbook by Kajsa Warg in 1754 and served at IKEA since 1985, meatballs are part of both everyday meals and special occasion menus. On 23 August people in Sweden celebrate Meatball Day. Let's join them and celebrate together!
