The Food at Ikea: Cheap and Good

I completely agree with this! My parents and I have chosen Ikea as a lunch destination before, when we don't even need any furniture, just food. The meatballs are the best, and anything with Daim is to die for. Also, the Kristian Regale sparkling cider available in the shop is wonderful.

Thanksgiving Appetizers

I did the antipasto thing one year and my family adored it.

Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?

A dinner scene that is memorable for being cringe-worthy and hilarious (rather than delicious) is the one in "The Birdcage," when the hosts are desperately trying to cover up the homoerotic images on their china and the fact that "Mother Coleman" is actually a man (while she charms the pants off the conservative senator).

Question of the Day: What are your favorite "simple" foods?

I'm echoing banana with peanut butter. Salty and sweet with protein and nutrients. Perfect. Also tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil, and good chewy bread with olive oil and salt. And fresh-picked berries in the summertime.

What food do you wish you liked, but don't?

Olives. I love Mediterranean food and olive oil, but olives themselves are just not palatable to me. I'm working on it, though.

The Food at Ikea: Cheap and Good

The nearestr Ikea is four hours away. We do try to go whenever we can. The free standing kitchen storage unit we have is a wonderfully useful and a solid piece of furniture. (I was able to bribe someone to put it together for me by giving them my old microwave.) I saw all the pieces - I got the better deal.

But I think you meatball lovers have been overcome by the fumes from too much pdf boards. I had the meatballs several years ago and there were awful. My partner agreed. We have never eaten there since. Buy cheap Euro-origin food at Trader Joe's. Not Ikea.

has anyone had a panzarotti from ikea? it's like a pizza pocket. i'm from orange county so maybe they only have it on the west coast? they are delicious.

@ OneWallKitchen & amanda0730..... this is kinda a shot in the dark, but after squinting at the picture of the menu from the article, i think the combo is $2 because you get a polish sausage instead of a hot dog. talk about tricky!
