You’ve probably tried Swedish meatballs at IKEA. It’s famous all around the world wherever there’s an IKEA store. People always recommend this dish, but why is it so popular? I think the things that make this dish stand out are the spices and gravy. The gravy is incredibly rich, so the addition of allspice and nutmeg to the meatballs balances the flavor perfectly.
