Cloudy with a (100%) Chance of Meatball

Nope, April Fools Day did NOT come early (err, again) this year. Behold the next BIG thing, literally. Go ahead, save yourself the stress this Christmas season and serve your guests a heaping serving of envy. Those wonderful Swedes at Ikea are up to no good again and we’re all better off for it. Behold your next Instagram thirst trap. 10 pounds of minced beef and pork lovingly blended with a savory spice blend, dextrose, yeast, partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil, corn syrup solids, real parmesan cheese, enzymes, onion, parsley flakes and textured soy flour. Just like grandma used to make. If you have to ask nutritional questions, don’t. It’s all about the fond memories, the warm smiles the looks of astonished admiration as you carve into the epitome of processed, epicurean delight. Go ahead bust out that electric knife. Make that moment special. Each kit ships frozen with Ikea’s vaunted Lingonberry and cream sauce duo. And, compliments of the affordable DIY housewares retailer, a cone-shaped base to make for proper showstopping presentation. For you vegetarians out there, Ikea has thought of you as well. A 10 pound Veggieball will also be available. Alas, this delectable main dish will only be available online from Ikea’s UK website. So there you have it, just a little more Merry to your Christmas wishlist.
