    Evening all! I trust you’re all doing well…
    I couldn’t make the trip to Sweden without seeking out a meatball challenge, so that’s what’s on the cards tonight.
    I’m presently trekking through the lush green forest of North Carolina, so if I’m less active than usual in the comments, I apologise.
    Thanks as always for watching and I hope I’ll see you next week.
    Cuddles, BMF ❤️

      Honestly, a half-portion of that challenge looks like something I would order and happily eat in one sitting, although if I sat there for 6 hours afterwards, I'm not sure if I'd be hungry enough to do it a second time.

    Swede here! I can confirm it's a very traditional thing here to combine savory meats and sides with sweet jams or even jelly. Based on the weather I'm guessing you've been done with Sweden for like 6 months now, but if you ever want to re-live that classic Swedish flavor combo, meatballs with black currant jelly and boiled potatoes (and optional gravy) is another certified classic.

But now they’re almost a form of religion for me 😂 I had my gallbladder out earlier this year and after complications I was hospitalised again for a week heavily jaundiced and pained on the way to having sepsis. I’ve been in a beard rabbit hole from my hospital bed vicariously eating through you whilst being nil by mouth awaiting further surgery. They’ve kept me smiling. I can’t wait to enjoy food again. As soon as I’m well I’m off to Kongs in Manchester as those wings look awesome. Thanks Adam for all the content you put out and being a great bloke to everyone you meet ❤

    Good job! As a Swede I'm obviously used to the sweetness lingonberry sauce bring to a meatball dish, but sometimes you can have the less sweet "rårörda lingon", where the berries haven't been cooked. It's a matter of taste, of course, but regular lingonberry sauce can definitely taste very sweet - especially when commercially made. I haven't really thought about it until now, but the most commonly used swedish name for it is "lingonsylt", where "sylt" translates to jam.

      Yes, the cream sauce !! A cross with beef gravy and cream. I didn't like it. Go to a bit IKEA. They serve that shit in sauce. Most people where I lived in Lovissa were Swedish. Finland's food is even worse !! After just meat and cheese a a few local dishes staying at Degarby, I went to Lidl. The salami was so cheap even with reindeer. Nice one Adam !!

      The mashed potatoes and the creamy gravy can be very heavy and the lingonberries are supposed to be sour-sweet so it's a very nice contrast to the quite heavy food. Lots of lingonberry jam you buy from the store is a bit too sweet though so the effect goes away but if you make your own you can put just enough sugar in it to cut the worst acidity.
