Well it’s got one meatball. Serves you right for not ordering the meatballs sandwich.

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?

Assuming that's real, it would be totally justified to throw it against the wall and demand a real sandwich

There's federation issues between piefed and lemmy currently. It's not like this normally.

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.

Crossposts is definitely an option for Lemmy posts as well. What client are you using?

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.

To be fair, it only said "meatball" and there's at least two of them instead of only 1.

If you served this in Sweden you'd get angry side glances and passive aggressive snorts.

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.

No, those are meat ellipsoids. Only one of them qualifies as a ball.

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.

Any food in the US that's qualified with will typically baffle anyone of said nationality.

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.

That's true in every country, you should see "pizza Americana" or "American fried rice".

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

An American claiming America is better at scandinaviaing than Scandinavia, is the most American thing I've heard in my life.
