(146,341 posts)Of course, I've eaten many, many "Swedish" meatballs. They've been very different. I've also made many meatballs of various types.
There are many recipes for "Swedish meatballs." And for Italian meatballs and meatballs from all over the planet.
My personal favorite meatballs are made from a mixture of lamb and reindeer meat. But the second ingredient is pretty hard to find, really. On the other hand, I ate some meatballs made with camel meat at the Minnesota State Fair a few years ago. They were served with a very spicy sauce.
I like meatballs and fishballs (fiskeboller), I've even made meatballs from a mix of shrimp and crab with rice. My walleye and wild rice fishballs are pretty amazing, too.
"Swedish" meatballs are whatever someone makes under that name. There is no pure Swedish meatball recipe, I'm afraid. Serve them with whatever you like. All meatballs are good.
