“Locally the IKEA Julbord was $9.95 per person.”

- Sounds like a true bargain.

IKEA is actually the largest exporter of Swedish food products of all companies in Sweden. Just perhaps, they’ll one day quit selling furniture and bring Absolut, sausages like those of the days of Pippi Longstocking and lingonberry jam to the World!

Hopefully, no one wants to turn pagan, but this is how Vikings and other brutes celebrates “Christmas”:

The local IKEA sells lots of lingonberries. I eat lots and lots of lingonberries and cannot tolerate the taste of their closest cousins, the North American cranberry.

Strange, eh!

I had some lingonberries for lunch along with Swedish pork meatballs.
