    So someone decided that this is the sandwich they would sell to the public and said this is fine?

    Where to even start... Pathetic, overpriced and I doubt that the quality of the 'meat' balls meet even supermarket quality, or even IKEA. The garnish should be beetroot salad and the bread a baguette. At a minimum.

    A crime against common decency, a culinary affront and a cultural offence.

    What is that even supposed to be? Even if the bread was full of whatever that is it would look disturbing.

    I mean, it's called a meatball sandwich, not a meatballs sandwich. You're lucky you got two of them! /s

    Swede here, no one in Sweden has ever served meatballs with white sauce of any kind (no idea what it is) and dill... Highly doubt the meatball ingredients are even close to correct either.

    Any food in the US that's qualified with will typically baffle anyone of said nationality.

    That's true in every country, you should see "pizza Americana" or "American fried rice".

    Hell, it's true just traveling across the US. Try "Phildadelphia Cheeseteak" a few hours' drive out of Philly. They'll ask if you want marinara.

    Accurate but I was trying to expand beyond "Americans using food words wrong". (Also, "wrong" is culture purity nonsense in this context. Food and language evolve and that's fine.)

    You're right that prescriptivism is fundamentally nonsense, but it's been more than a decade and I still put airquotes on "pizza" when referring to it around Pittsburgh, because I don't want to mislead visiting relatives

    I'm guessing it's a white gravy instead of a brown gravy, so colored from cream and flour. I've only ever had brown gravy and lingonberries with my swedish meatballs, but then I've also only ever had them at Ikea which I'm sure isn't the best representation.

    That's much more than mildly.

    That's not a sandwich. That's a piece of bread that got fucking trafficked.

    Well it’s got one meatball. Serves you right for not ordering the meatballs sandwich.

    Frankly I think this would justify homicide

    This would be "midly" if it was a $5 gas station sub

    Also mildly infuriating is the lack of crosspost button so I can add this to !mls@lemmy.world — I guess it only appears when the post originates from a piefed instance?

    Nahhhh please tell me the guy bought it back and asked for a refund, because that's terrible even for stadium food lmao

    Assuming that's real, it would be totally justified to throw it against the wall and demand a real sandwich

    To be fair, it only said "meatball" and there's at least two of them instead of only 1.
