IKEA popularized Köttbullar, Sweden's national dish, around the world. Surprisingly, in 2018, Sweden revealed that their beloved meatballs originated in Turkey. In the 18th century, King Charles XII fell in love with Turkish meatballs and brought the recipe back to Sweden. Today, Köttbullar are typically served with mashed potatoes, a creamy brown sauce, and sweet-sour sides like cucumber salad and lingonberry jam.
