Damn, never seen the fabled IKEA meatballs before and aside from the meatball sauce, it looks like what you'd eat in college when the fridge is nearly empty.
I can imagine that lingonberry jam works well with the savory, but does that make up for the sadness on the left half of the plate?
It actually tastes much better than it looks (at least in Poland)
Definitely true, but the IKEA standards has been slipping a bit here in France IMO.
Less horse meat than the good ol days?
It's really not bad, good quality and cheap for what you get (at least here in the states). A bit on the cafeteria food end of things, but quite servicable.
I imagine the arguer's partner ordered their plate because i remember other, more visually appealing vegetables as options.
But it tastes lovely
That isn't jam.
You see, I 100% agree with you that it shouldn't be called "jam". I would call it a compote, if I had a say in the matter. But I specifically looked up what it's called in English and, well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingonberry_jam
I think, some folks also call it "Lingonberry sauce". If you're one of those people, then we've got something we can disagree on.
Jam and sauce are both smooth, which this Lingonberry stuff is not.
Looks like cranberry sauce to me.
Ah, in my research, I did also come across this specific meal being a traditional Swedish meal, which I guess, they chose to emulate:
In Sweden the traditional Swedish meatballs are served with lingonberry jam alongside boiled or mashed potatoes and gravy sauce.

Could be that IKEA replaces the lingonberries with cranberries in some regions of the world, since they're not too different taste-wise, but I have no idea, if they actually do that.
Gives me IKEA flashbacks
Which way is the out...
SCP 3008 has an easy guide
Few people know that the IKEA floor planner is a physicist who has access to additional dimensions.
Fun fact: follow the path in the opposite direction. The shortcuts are often more visible that way
THERE ARE MAPS EVERYWHERE
Yeah it's crazy simple to follow shortcuts I don't get it
GOOD TO KNOW!
Mmm... Ikea Horse Balls...
Reminds me of a phase my mom went through where she'd post her Sunday dinners on fb lol
A casual place for banter and anything that doesn't fit in anywhere else.
Have chat and a natter. Talk about anything and everything that's not political!
Keep it casual.
