hi i'm josh usually ollie's here
but he's not yet um today we're gonna be
trying michelin star swedish meatballs
and seeing if they're actually better
than the classic ikea swedish meatballs
that's surely
wow
wait that's an actual apron like
i thought you'd literally just slung a
bag over your back no one wants to see
the twirl ollie way too much armpit hair
in that 12. there's a lot of air flow
through here i can put lots of bolts
and pieces of dowel in my pocket just
spare meatballs
jenny made this no
i mean
jenny let's do this bring out the
michelin star meatballs
wow
smells incredible it does smell
incredible we are missing the plating
skills of gabby uh of uh yeah of a
professional chef i know for a fact that
this comes from aquafit a michelin star
swedish restaurant it looks a little bit
like it's been plated by the inner lady
at school
yeah and they're in a rush
obviously it's not as cheap as ikea
meatballs but as far as the michelin
star meals we've had
this is pretty good value so how much is
this yeah i think it's about 20 pounds
20 pounds yeah a michelin star meal
that's a good deal that's right are
these like lingan berries isn't it
mushroom bit gherkin
[Music]
oh
wow
oh
jamie that is jamie who oliver
oh gamey
it does not taste like jamie oliver
that is very meaty
i wouldn't have known that you could go
to a michelin star restaurant yeah and
order sweet sweet meatballs i bet the
waiter is fed up with people being like
don't they do that in ikea i'm polishing
this off i know man this is actually
really good that's going to take some
beating that that actually hit the spot
because it's got the emotional resonance
of swedish meatballs that we've all
experienced at the end of a stressful
shopping exactly the only thing i'm
looking forward to in this trip is the
stupid 10 meatballs it's like a gauntlet
of marriage-ending arguments and the way
they design it so you have to basically
pass through every part of the store in
order to get to the meatballs and yeah
and every 10 minutes there's like a
child just losing their mind
wow okay wow okay
i hear meatballs the portion size is the
first thing i noticed huge number of
meatballs so how much is this josh less
than four pounds so immediate comparison
meatballs are smaller they do look a
little bit like vegetarian meatballs
side by side
[Music]
a little bit more herby a little bit but
not much i mean this smells familiar
it's amazing having this without having
had a huge argument
let's do it
okay
oh hi
oh
mmm
distinctive
your teeth just go straight through it
straight through it it does taste good
it does taste good tastes familiar
there's just something warming and nice
about it
just want to eat more of those side by
side come on let's go just remember the
ikea experience
[Music]
oh wow
that's so meaty it's almost two meetings
it's way too meaty now this is such a
strange conclusion i did not see this
coming why do i feel like this has got
some kind of like msg preservative
something in it
which like makes you addicted to only
this taste it's blander there's way less
texture
it's just good having tried it i don't
want to go back
to the michelin star
i really liked this before we had the
ikea one what the heck is happening that
with the sauce going back to the machine
stuff and the gravy
it's too meaty it's getting worse yeah i
would never have said that was it was
too chewy before we tried the ikea one
it's an interesting metaphor in a way
for ikea furniture objectively it's
worse than like properly made furniture
but once you start
buying ikea yeah it's so easy it's so
much cheaper than many others she
just kind of works i've literally eaten
so many meatballs my stomach is like a
lottery machine of meatballs
i'm just going to poop out the powerball
oh i'm sweating now though
that has been a flipping roller coaster
i think we've got pudding
oh hello
one question
ikea meatballs michelin meatballs
ikea 100
wow 100
i think if you hadn't given me the ikea
once 100 i would have taken the mission
in star wars
i really enjoyed them yeah they were
really nice really good ironically i
think like the quality of the michelin
star one
when held side by side with ikea was its
downfall right like okay this takes way
longer longer to eat there's so much
flavor yeah yeah you know oh
wow it's called clad
that sounds like a set of shelves in
ikea
michelin star dessert i'm so ready
hmm
oh cloud mykaka that's good
[Music]
that is very good it's like a brownie
but a slightly different texture it's
halfway between a brownie and a
chocolate charm
yes that's it brownie chocolate up with
the berries
and the cream work together with it it's
weird having had
meatballs with the those same berries
only a handful of mouthfuls ago
you know look how far they've come
they were on lowly balls of meat okay
and now they sit here adorning
a chocolate
delight
yeah oh i could literally finish all of
this so quickly that to me that's a
brown tasted like a michelin star
dessert but it is chocolate cake slash
brownie something that you get
in many places it's reminiscent but it
is superior
[Laughter]
this is ikea's answer hello
wow that actually looks can i say it
looks good it looks more appetizing why
does it look so good i really want to
eat what's this okay
wow when you see it in the box yeah it
really it looked a lot more premium
without the box dime almond cake with
chocolate and crunchy caramel let's give
it a go
look at that it does look good doesn't
it
[Music]
we just had a michelin star dessert that
came out in the flipping box this is
what ikea do you froze them they package
things in boxes price them very low and
the masses love it you could serve that
in a michelin star restaurant
how is that so good i literally can't
imagine that that is gonna taste any
worse than it did before
[Music]
[Laughter]
enjoy our
video yeah i'm genuinely curious to see
where this journey through mission and
star meals takes us next maybe let's go
back to wearing the suits next time yeah
well i put an effort in experimented a
little bit too hard with this one i
think well you didn't even experiment at
all did you think at all about what you
want i think we're all happy but i
didn't
i don't know i think a lot okay
and that's where we're ending this video
guys we'll see you guys see you later
[Music]
you
