Known for more then just household names like Abba, IKEA, Spotify, Volvo, and H&M,\u00a0 <\/span>Sweden is a centuries-old kingdom and beloved Nordic country. It is rich in culture, history, industry, and of course gastronomy. <\/span>By now, everyone has heard of Sweden\u2019s famous food concept like the Sm\u00f6rg\u00e5sbord<\/strong>, or lavish buffet and wonderful food products and dishes. A few of the most well-known Swedish food specialties are lingonberry jam, pickled herring, and naturally, Swedish meatballs. <\/span><\/p>\n

My first and still most memorable experience trying Swedish meatballs was in Sweden.<\/p>\n

The year my family and I lived in London, England, we would often venture out to nearby countries during holiday weekends. One particular and unforgettable weekend had us visiting Denmark and East\/West Germany (yes, when the wall was still up in Berlin and there were two German nations). <\/span>In order to travel to East Germany from Denmark, we first had to travel to Sweden via ferry.<\/strong> The nearest place was the charming Swedish coastal city of Malm\u00f6<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The boat ride from Copenhagen, Denmark was very short, and we arrived one foggy evening. As it was near dinner time, we were hungry, and with only a few hours before taking another ship to East Germany, we went in search for a traditional Swedish restaurant. Our first Swedish dinning experience was with meatballs and its delicious cream sauce.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Not many places I know have come close to the exceptional Swedish meatballs dinning experience I had in Malm\u00f6, so I have decided to finally make them myself, and give it my own spin. I promise you will enjoy it as much as I did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get cooking!<\/strong><\/p>\n
