2. NO ADVERTISING

This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see [email protected]

Did have them a week back. But IKEA is to Swedish cuisine what Taco bell is to Mexican.

Nah but my home made meatballs with proper mashed potatoes, pickled cucumber, lingon rawstir (not jam) with 60% lingon, cream sauce with a kick ( using mango chutney instead of classic black current jelly) with sage and rosemary definitely is. :)

Ikea really managed to pull off a magnificent marketing stunt.

They have the same furniture quality that you can get off of Amazon, Wayfair, or Walmart but you have to go get it out of their warehouse and deal with the logistics of getting it to your house. But they hand out some meatballs and give everything funky Swedish names; so people get the impression that it's a fancy European experience.

China is the single largest manufacturer of Ikea products. I found that when I went directly to the source, I could get the same item cheaper or a better item at the same price. That deal is likely to die with the new tariff regime but that same regime will have similar impacts on Ikea.

IKEA started delivering furniture a long time ago, at least in Ontario.
