I cannot believe how delicious the food at Ikea is. They also have this Swedish Sparkling Cider, Kristian Regale which is especially awesome.

On my last Ikea visit, the service at the restaurant was so slow that I managed to eat half of my meatballs before I got to the cashier - and only got charged for a small portion. (this was at a store in London; I'm here via Londonist.)

Ok, I love those little crappy meatballs but only because of the sauce. The mac n' cheese is like any other microwave mac n' cheese meal. Oh, and the Daim Torte is SHIT. The Daim candies however are to die for. Along with those little raspberry cookies they sell downstairs!

I spent a month last summer studying in Sweden after my first year of law school. Aside from perhaps the freshness factor, the IKEA cafeteria (which, after an unfortunate experience completely furnishing my girlfriend's new apartment, we broke down and ate at)is a fairly good representation of Swedish cuisine. Lots of meatballs and hot dog-like sausages and salmon. Not to mention pickled herring. My advice? Buy a baguette and some (comparatively) cheap French wine. Skip the anonymous white sauce they seem to put on everything.

On a recent trip home to the folks' house, my mom made us Swedish pancakes with lingonberry jam...all bought in the food section of IKEA. They were delicious, even though I still have no idea what a "lingonberry" actually is.
