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.
It’s Minnesota, they are more scandanavian than Scandinavia, I don’t trust you
Boo, Swedish meatball sandwiches have meatballs and beetroot salad.
An American claiming America is better at scandinaviaing than Scandinavia, is the most American thing I’ve heard in my life.
Any food in the US that’s qualified with <nationality> will typically baffle anyone of said nationality.
That’s true in every country, you should see “pizza Americana” or “American fried rice”.
Or you know, watch the comment section of most Spanish omelette or paella videos. I’m there on the omelette comments btw, it’s not that fucking hard why does everyone fuck it up.
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
Can verify, extremely baffled.
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.
bet it’s the same cum they put on their cinnamon buns
If you served this in Sweden you’d get angry side glances and passive aggressive snorts.
I’m assuming the same can be said about USA with this particular sandwich lol
Looks like a Polish thing, pulpety w sosie koperkowym.
Seems like they probably skipped the broth. Looks basically just beschemel, though, being generous, it may have a bit of mustard, sour cream, and/or some herbs mixed in.
I mean, it’s called a meatball sandwich, not a meatballs sandwich. You’re lucky you got two of them! /s
It looks like there’s 3 to me. Practically gluttony.
That’s much more than mildly.
Well it’s got one meatball. Serves you right for not ordering the meatballs sandwich.
Looks like 3 meatballs to me?
No, those are meat ellipsoids. Only one of them qualifies as a ball.
That’s not a sandwich. That’s a piece of bread that got fucking trafficked.
That’s just some bread with jizz on it
And pickles! Jizz 'n Pickles would be a wild band name.
Must be a ska band
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.
Frankly I think this would justify homicide
So someone decided that this is the sandwich they would sell to the public and said this is fine?
If it had more meatballs, sauce and such, it has a chance. But the picture is sad and dismal, why not complain?
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?
There’s federation issues between piefed and lemmy currently. It’s not like this normally.
Crossposts is definitely an option for Lemmy posts as well. What client are you using?
The pwa
Sorry, I have no clue what that is. Mobile or web?
If it’s mobile it could be hidden behind the share button. If it’s web… idk tbh. I mostly use mobile. But I’ve got both Piefed and Lemmy accounts (been trying out Piefed on occasion) and I’ve been able to crosspost between the two, but I did notice federation is a bit slow
PWA is short for progressive web app. It’s the website plus a little extra browser magic so you can save it to your phone’s home screen.
This would be “midly” if it was a $5 gas station sub
Assuming that’s real, it would be totally justified to throw it against the wall and demand a real sandwich
What the heck is this shit!!just make ur own at this point
