that bread looks like foam

If it had more meatballs, sauce and such, it has a chance. But the picture is sad and dismal, why not complain?

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.

This might give you botulism

I ate at a restaurant that did this once. The kids menu had "spaghetti with meatball" which they got a kick out of.

It was the size of my fist. They served my single-digit age children like a 3/4lb meatball each. They still tell tales of the legendary meatball to this day.

My bet would be just plain confusion - "why are you calling them Swedish meatballs if you don't make them like meatballs are made in Sweden?"

That looks so good. Definitely another Swedish meatballs I've tried. That looks 100x better.

They're only fucking it up if they're trying and failing to make a specific thing, not just because they thing they make offends you.

You know that there's basically one paella recipe per Spanish village, right (if not more)? It's probably the same for tortillas.

At this point they are trying to insult you.

I'm Spaniard, I know. The thing is that Spanish omelette is a potato omelette, even though people then add other stuff to the base. They don't call it tortilla de patata, they call it "tortilla de patata y X". The only variances are the density of the omelette and if it has a little bell peppers (or more than a little, goddammit Biscay) or not. Anything else isn't a "tortilla de patata".

I'm not saying that it will taste bad, it just isn't the thing. There are plenty "tortilla de patata y chorizo" and such, but you would never add chorizo or chatka in there and call it a "Spanish Omelette".

I would be surprised to find anything but the basic omelette if I order a "pincho de tortilla".

Regarding the paella, I'm not from Valencia so I won't push back that much there, but I know that usually if you diverge from the standard Valencian paella, you state it in the name, like a galician "Paella de Marisco" and such.

Dude, people claim that putting bacon on a paella is traditional. No it fucking isn't. It will taste fine but it fucking isn't.

I'm sure you have a national dish known elsewhere that locally has plenty variations, but everyone agrees that the basic version is X.

Bacon does seem a bit extreme, I'll grant you that.

Non-existent portion aside, that looks disgusting.

As a Swedish person I have no idea what that white goo is. I wouldn't touch it, and also I wouldn't touch that bread.

Fair enough. American bread is a step above styrofoam.

Reminds me of how Germans still have this image of America being full of cowboys with six shooters on their hips.

Fellow 'muricans: if you ever get a visitor from Germany, take them to a Wild West reenactment. They will NEVER forget.

I think it's a version of swedish meatballs.

I did have a really hard time finding good bread when I visited the USA, but I'm sure there are excellent bakeries if you know where to look.

Yes, I think you're right, that's probably what they were going for.

So Swedish meatballs is served with "brunsås" (literally "brown sauce") which is a gravy or roux made from the leftover fat in the pan after you're done cooking the meatballs. I've never seen anyone do a white roux for meatballs. This is then served with boiled potatoes, lingonberry jam, pickled cucumber and often steamed carrots.

The gravy is however never served on a meatball sandwich! That's a completely different thing. Another user mentioned that it's supposed to come with a beetroot salad, which I'm personally not a fan of, but it would be weird if a "Swedish Meatball Sandwich" was anything other than that.

In general though I'm fine with people taking creative liberties with food, but you'll have to put some heart into it.

Meatball sandwich. Singular. One meatball.

Technically correct, but legitimately rage inducing if this is really what you get for 15 quid.

Minnesota is a part of America, hence my wording.
