Yeah we eat them in our house pretty regularly too, but made in different ways from time-to-time. I'd say mostly I make Italian-style meatballs. But not daily, more like 2x a month.
Thanks.
It’s probably just me, but apart from spaghetti-and-meatballs, about the only time meatballs show up (in anyone’s kitchen, anyway - I’m making allowances for IKEA and meatball subs from the sandwich shop) is as an appetizer during the Christmas holidays. It’s a favorite party food.

It's not just you then, because mostly I'm doing spaghetti and meatballs or meatballs subs (I make those at home). Never been to IKEA can you believe it? But we do occasionally make other kinds of meatballs outside of the holidays...just Italian style is the kind I make the majority of the time.

Off topic re IKEA. I don't like going there but their furniture is fine by me.
I agree completely. When I have to go, I go during the week, when it’s not so busy.

I couldn't say, no idea, I know it's really popular. The only thing I know about IKEA is that in the movie "Fight Club" Edward Norton's character furnished his whole apartment at IKEA. I can't remember what any of the pieces looked like but I think that movie is 25 years old, maybe more.

I think MG was okay with me briefly meandering, LOL. Not starting a new thread or anything becauseFixed that for you so you don’t get an off topic warning
It’s not a looker, I’ll just say that. You’ll see once I write it up.What that I already want to eat it or that you have a boatload of garlic?
IKEA is enjoyable just to see all the different kitchens set up. I like that, and on the practical side, I really like their housewares department - they’ve got some really kooky/clever things in there.
The weekend crowds are psychotic, though. I usually take a day off and go once a year around Christmas.

It's way too far for me to bother...
I think they do some very good and reasonably priced stuff. I was impressed with the price and quality of the houseplants and some of their kitchen stuff is good. But I can’t abide the shop itself, because of their location here, their cheap food and play area it’s usually packed with kids, not nice kids either, the snotty wailing type. In Spain it’s popular in the summer because they have good air con
It might not be a looker but I bet it tastes great!
Yes, more on that in a bit.
The closest IKEA to me is 30 miles. I call it Irritating Kids in Every Aisle.

Meltdown in bedding department. Or worse, "cleanup".
