- It’s hard to send an entire country into an identity crisis, but one single Tweet managed to do just that-and all under 150 characters. When Sweden’s official Twitter account claimed that Swedish meatballs may in fact actually be Turkish, Swedes around the world were set into outrage. How could such a beloved touchstone of Swedish cultural history all be a sham? To get to the bottom of it all, we enlisted the help of an expert. Come along as we try to unlock the great meatball mystery.

Well Ikea has been dutch for aslong as it was Swedish so..
This is the content I subscribed for.
I'm from Turkey, and there are many varieties of Turkish meatballs.
IKEA meatballs are not similar to any particular variety in Turkey.
Yes, it's similar, but it's just inspired.
There is actually a recipe book from 1695, 14 years before Charles XII's stay in what is now Moldova, that mentions a form of boiled ball of meat called "frikadeller". I think the only inspiration he might have gotten is to cook them in a pan, but I think people did that before. But us Swedes know that the clasdic dish named "kåldolmar" is actually taken from "dolma", I think they are called that. And I might be wrong, but I think I heard that he took home the practice of building houses out of bricks, and only the rich could afford it, so the others painted their houses red so it would look like bricks. Have a nice day. :-)
As a Swede, I know that our Swedish meatballs are very well known, but I know that there are so many different variations of the meatballs in other countries and we were not the first with them 😀 You take what you have and like and make your own thing out of it. That's how we learn about things. Because you often use what you have. I live much further down in Sweden but I know they use a lot of Reindeer meat high up in Sweden. But where I live it's not as common. It's fun when you can make different variations of it. for example, use different meats and flavors.
Öyle düşünme. Türkiye'de 300'den fazla köfte tarifi var :) Bildiğimiz ızgara köftelere pek benzemiyor olsa da illa ki benzer bir tarif vardır.
"if there is one thing we can agree on its that meatballs are delicious"
Vegans: *intense internal combustion*
I mean they are but are they worth the co2,methane,and possible animal abuse
“If there is one thing we can agree on, it’s that balls are delicious”
Now everyone can agree!
Swedish vegan? No problem:

Meepachew freelee is fuming and wants them to die and eat snakes
Pewdiepie has some explaining to do.
Thomas Y. And why’s that? There’s a reason why it’s called “Swedish meatballs” and not just meatballs.
Every single culture in the entire world has made their own idea of "Ball of meat", jesus.
The funny thing is the Swedish twitter account is missing the plot with 1 mayor thing Official Swedish meatballs contain pork. Muslims dont eat pork.
Bad choice of words
Mind boggling isn't it
Not "Koftas" but "Köfte" :) Meatball is delicious, just enjoy it wherever you are.
except vegan
Not funny its 2019 can we leave "aLoHa sNacKbAr" and vegan jokes they're not funny people just make them because it'll bother someone
sorry

Next up: IS PEWDIEPIE REALLY SWEDISH?
He's not even human, some say he's a turkey.
I heard someone say he looks more Liganese than Swedish tbh.
No he's all
He is austrian

When you think of sweden, what comes to mind. Pewdiepie that what i'm thinking
Couldnt come up with an original comment, eh?
Well first i didn't look at the comments and plus the idea just hit me from my mind
They didn’t talk about Pewdiepie when it came to famous Swedish stuff....
"stuff"
cinnamon rolls never said the N word
Why would they?
@@IEatYourSandwiches
Oh no somebody said something offensive once in their life. How dare they do that. All of his critics are such angels.
Yeah
When I think about Sweden, I remember Avicii. Rest in peace, Sir.
It's a very common food in Brazilian northeastern backwoods. My mother in law loves to cook this plate.
I should have known A Great Big Story would post this video
I've learned so much swedish in IKEA but Köttbullar (meatball) was the first thing i learned
This reminds me of hissen12, an elevator photographer from Sweden, much like DieselDucy from Roanoke, Virginia.

Thanks for making me want one
When your too tired to smile at group pictures 1:04
When you said “If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that meatballs are delicious”, you just pissed off so many vegans
vegan meatballs exist but they dont have meat so they are just balls
Folks try meatball in Indonesia, it is called Bakso and interesting!
Cuanki.
Indonesian spaghetti and meatballs, eh?
I don't like it to be honest. It have less meat and more flour. Perhaps it's just my taste 😩
Findecanor more to just the meatball. Spagetti isnt a thing
martin rdh yeah, but still it is worth to try. Meatball is so different in each country lol
im from sweden and what i think about when i hear sweden is...
OH GOD T-SERIES IS WINNING HELP US.
I am Turkish and I had no idea about the origin of Swedish meatballs. However, even if it was originally a Turkish food, the recipe remarkably has changed. So it makes sense why it doesn't count as a Turkish recipe anymore.
In my country you can have that in alot of places no one call it swedish meatball
Hahaha you can take it we have lot of delicious food in Turkey
Yeah the only good food in Sweden are the meatballs. Most northern cuisines are questionable at best 🙄
kubri k. You are right actually they have the best living standarts but their cousine is not that good probably
They manage to import Breen from the Homeworld
:)
After watching EmmyMadeInJapan, I've learned that both the gravy covered meatball and the cream filled wafer cookie are represented all over the world! They could be considered "Earth's foods".

Så jävla gott🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Fun fact: ikea meatballs end up being made out of horse meat every year. Also, the Felix brand!
Icewallow Hot come IKEA should be made out of the original Turkish recipe tbh, NOT horse meat!
The horse meat is a secret 😳
Fun Fact: Turks know King Charles as Demir Baş which means Iron head that does'nt leave
2:09 those are some nice meat balls
Wtf
jag älskar köttbular!! (swedish learner)
It makes sense though - no one knows meatballs like the Italians and Turkey is right by Italy, so it isn't too hard to imagine that there was a wave of meatball-know-how that made its way out of the Ottoman empire and somehow leapt over most of Europe but exploded in Sweden. The rest of Europe does sausages, not balls of meat.
no italians got it from the ancient phonecians or other seefaring nations. or they got it from the greece but italians dont like the turks because they are muslim and italy is very conservative regarding religions
Just like french fries that are actually from Belgium
i mean in russia they have a very similiar dish, slicing up potato sticks and frying them is not a super intelligent idea that couldn't be invited by parallel countries
I agree that meatballs could have developed in parallel ways. People like tasty delicious things and are curious enough to experiment with what they cook.
That's why parallel creation might be a common thing with the same ingredients given. Let me remind us of the Arab-Jewish dispute on whom humus sauce belongs to.
This video makes me hungry
👏👏meatball review👏👏
Things I think of when I hear "Sweden":
Its flag
PewDiePie
Ikea
Minecraft
Markus "Notch" Persson
Viking
Zipper
Adjustable spanner
Dynamite
3-point seatbelt
“As a Swedish i am offended.”
When I think of Sweden I think of pewdiepie.
I am Turkish and the only thing köfte and swedish meatballs have in common is they are both meatballs.
No actually, both of them have an elastic texture which is very rare between other meatball variations around the world.
Random thought but Richard can use little help from teeth whitener 🤔
When thinking about Swedish, other than Ikea, Meatballs and Pewdiepie would be:
Vinesauce Joel
Seth Everman
Volvo
Saab
Scania
Gryphons
0:00 “ when you think of sweeden what comes to mind?”
BLACK METAL
Black metal came up and is more associated with Norway. Sweden is better known for "The NWOSHM" (New Wave Of Swedish Heavy Metal), the Swedish death metal sound (Entombed, At The Gates, Bloodbath), and melodic death metal, a.k.a. melodeth, or the Gothenburg sound. Bands like In Flames, Arch Enemy, and Dark Tranquillity.
This is Squidward’s second favorite meal, too bad he keeps forgetting the can opener. Have fun inside!
“When you think of Sweden, what comes to mind?”
Pewdiepie and Anomaly (Swedish CSGO CZcamsr)
I guess you could say It’s...
mystery meat?
I’ll leave now.
Food historians
Where can I get this job
Anyone else ever hit up Ikea just to go eat there? Eat some them meatballs?
When I think of sweden I think of pewdiepie.
The only thing that reminds me of Sweden is Zalatan Ibrhimovic .
lol that level of denial stage..
Thing that make's me talk about Sweden is "Dendy"
Italian meatballs in Milan in the 17 centuries?
Go eat your pizza Mario
people: meatballs
me: anomaly...
So? It’s an international food! Just about every other country has its own version of this thing! I guess what makes it Swedish is the sauce and lingonberries! It’s HOW that its eaten makes the difference!
I don't get it, a lot of typical dishes have foreign influences involved in their creations but they said themselves "Swedish meatballs are based on a recipe brought from Turkey" that's different from "Swedish meatballs' recipe is from turkey"... If you change a recipe then it it just not the same one + swedes tend to use pork which is not very turkish
First thing I think of is marabou chocolate
when i first read the title on my recommended i thought i was high
DONT MESS WITH OUR MEATBALLS ( STARTS FLIPPING TABLES )
Surströmming comes to mind. The infamous food from Sweden
That's a very local thing in one part of Sweden. The rest of Sweden also think they are nuts...
@@FindecanorNotGmail is that so? i thought they're all okay to eat it xD nice info though
When I think Swedish
Is pewdiepie
im 13 and this is deep
Kaipo now you are 14 dear...
This kinda feels like the alllivesmater of Swedish meatballs.
So what if it did come from Turkey? America adopts food from other countries all the time. Hot Dogs and Beer are Germanic in origin. Pizza from Italy, etc. And these are considered "American" Foods.
No way i could eat that without bread.

Vegans entered the chat
When I hear sweden I think of volvo and saab
I'm not swedish but I loooove the meatballs
Ooh but Turkish meatballs have more herbs and spices yeah I'm turkish
But Turkey is the origin of the meatballs! We made that from cow meat and grounded it so we can make a ball and we in Turkey eat it more like a burger patty or with some bread and vegetables it is like a meat fallafel
I live in Sweden and I’m from turkey.. köfte?
📣 DAILY word/phrase 🤷🎓 🖋 lingonberry
I don't think it's as popular as pizza or even kebab these days, but it is common.
I only try swedish meatball from IKEA
I guess they aren't now that you pointed that out
so basically he’s a foodie historian
Hello is ya boi Anomaly form Sweden xD
The real question is, who's that at 2:09??
Edric Xiong
Right on
I don't know. Are they?

no ikea come first
Dam right meatballs are fantastic!
Amen! Det skiter väl sig om var ifrån köttbullar kommer ifrån?
Försiktig nu så att du inte blir av med ditt medborgarskap.
Suomalainen sotilas nja köttbullar är en svensk klassiker men inte en gudomlig rätt
I think the Swedish knew they were gonna go insane without the internet. So they left one last remark before they faded away
We need to get Felix here to explain this...
Who’s that @2:10?!? 😍😍😍
All I know is, there are Alien Races out there that will have their own version of Swedish Meatballs.
Goddamn it T-Series, look what you did! :v
Richard Tellerstrom, please use a good quality toothpaste. And visit a dentist regularly.
maybe he just smokes and drinks a lot of coffee/black tea, than it has more or less nothing to do with his mouth hygiene.
Turkish köfte can mean a lot of things. Some are flat, some are round, some are spit roasted, some are fried in a pan. But they never include pork, like traditional Swedish meatballs always do. There are similarities between Turkish and Swedish cooking indeed, but they have nothing to do with the fact that King Charles XII of Sweden failed at Poltava and afterwards spent quite a time in Turkey trying hard to make Ottoman forces join in on his project.
Just bakso .....
U want it ? I will make it to you
Pasta originates from asia and thier noodles, italians stole it and made thier own version. Except that thier version is the same thing as the original, just other shapes and names.
Same with meatballs, there is italian meatballs and swedish meatballs.
I think first written meatball recipe is from hittites
in indonesia meatballs are called bakso or baso
When i think of sweden i think of..........swedish fish. 😂😂

Meatball in indonesia has chinese influence but idk with sweidh meaball
99% of the comments: Pewdiepie, why did you lie to us?
1% of the comments: Ikea would like to know ur location
0.5% (which is my comment): Butter, BABY
I don't know man. When I asked them if they're really swedish, they just sat there being tasty and warm. Not that I don't like it, but it's just embarrassing to get ignored by meatballs like that.
