Valentine's Day Chocolate Candy - The Best is _________
Quality Street Chocolates. Made by Nestle, sold in the UK. Not easy to find, but SOOOO good!

My favorite jarred food is _____
You need to have access to a Trader Joe's for this one... their jarred Bruschetta sauce is to die for. I rarely even use it as a topping. I actually add it to pasta sauces, toss it with their roasted garlic chicken sausage, add it to shrimp scampi, you name it. It's very flavorful and delicious! I could literally eat it right out of the jar.

Sauces: All I want is a good remoulade recipe
Oops... forgot to mention that it was a Celery Root Remoulade. SO good...
Sauces: All I want is a good remoulade recipe
I don't have the recipe... but I had the BEST remoulade sauce on Friday night at 51 Lincoln in Newton Massachusetts (just outside Boston). You may be able to email them and get the recipe. It was UNBELIEVABLE... and served with a smoked cod cake. For a full review of this place, check out my blog at: Boston Food & Whine
All these other recipes sound delicious too!

The caviar is pretty good, really fishy smell, but I mixed it in to plain yogurt and made a dip. It was pretty good.

I've tried the salmon caviar and it's actually really good for the price. The lingonberry jam is also another Ikea favorite.

Ditto on the hot dog. Sometimes a good hot dog hits the spot like nothing else can. Oh crap, that really came out sounding wrong...

How has no one mentioned the $0.50 hot dog!!! Its half the reason I go to Ikea. It may not be gourmet eats but it definitely hits the hunger pangs caused by a million square feet of shopping!

Roe is far more common and cheaper across the world than most Americans realize. The rare stuff can indeed be expensive—but I'd wager that the Ikea stuff is worth its price. While that's not much, at least it is humble. And though I don't eat fast food and haven't eaten at IKEA, I certainly have eaten roe cheaper than the Abba brand that tasted far better than high end stuff. Sometimes humility leads to discovery, especially with culture. Food can be polarizing, but you only limit yourself when you shit on something you haven't even tried, emolely.

i cannot believe this. i held 'serious eaters' in much higher esteem than to think that ikea was acceptable for eating. i wouldn't waste one calorie on that shit - caviar or meatballs.

The desserts at the Ikea cafe are pretty good, too. I keep meaning to get lunch there one day when I'm in the area.

I made Ina Garten's Lemon Capellini with Caviar using this Ikea caviar. It was good and added a nice salty complement to the bright lemon flavor, but I wouldn't eat it alone on a cracker!

I just got some tiny mother of pearl caviar spoons at Pearl River and now I will try them out on this stuff! YAY!
You know, IKEA really is a phenomenal thing, so Swedish yet abundant and full of hope. Throw in ABBA and what's not to love???

If it's half as good as the meatballs, I'd give it a whirl..... wish I lived closer to an IKEA.....
