We also have IKEA . I went just yesterday there and I've bought a powder
to make the seasoning (a cream) for meatballs. It is very very good!
They eat these meatballs also with a few sugared lingonberry jam. Very
good.

Pandora, I buy the small jars of the lingonberry jam (Felix brand, I
think). Last time I went (in New Haven, CT) I bought the big bucket of
lingonberry jam and found it isn't as sweet as the Felix brand, and still
very good. I just heaved the last of it this week, it lasted a little
too long for two of us, and took up too much space in the refrigerator.
The one I bought in Ikea was "Hapi" brand (a swedish brand).
And it isn't sweet. Here in Italy we don't use jam like a sauce to
accompaign meat dish. I have never eaten this kind of things before, but
when I tasted I liked them!
BTW, here in Piedmont they use to eat "Toma" (a piedmontese cheese) with
honey or fruit mustard.

When we eat there, DH eats the meatball plate, and I eat the salmon
plate.
Just like the things they serve in Ikea restaurant!

is pretty cramped and not too interesting.
Is the New Haven restaurant an Ikea restaurant?

Yes, Ikea's in New Haven has a big modern restaurant in its store. For some
reason I like the style. It is spacious, airy, high ceilings and children
have a small play space if they choose. Their families sit close to that
space so you don't have the kids running back and forth between tables.
You see local families and some tourists, too, because the did offer a $.99
cent breakfast of scrambled eggs, 2 strips of bacon and fried potatoes; and
if you got there before 10 am, the coffee was free. If you got there after
10 am, the coffee was $.75, and good.
I found a wooden lazy susan that I keep on my table for $7. I had searched
for one for years. I also bought a bed skirt (blue stripe/French style) for
$10 -- whatta buy! I love their specials!
