    So they're not the same meatballs at all. Wonder where the OP's friend got the idea that they are and even stranger why MSE have included it in the weekly mail (without even checking) when it's obviously not correct. :eek:

    Sainsburys do a fresh version that do not contain gluten and these are very nice - I've bought them 'cos my OH is a coeliac -HTH

    Exactly - yes, they're "Swedish meatballs", but these are not - repeat, NOT - the same ones as you get in Ikea.

    Lazy work on MSE's part - especially when one of Martin's mantras is to know your facts!

    re the sauce, colmans do a swedish meatball sauce that's exactly the same and it doesn't require cream like the Ikea one.

    Well I don't know about IKEA meatballs in Lidl, but the ordinary packs of them they sell are yummy (especially in a spicy tomato sauce with pasta) :T
