- It has like a membrane that contains
all the juice inside of it. (laughs)
It popped in my mouth like...
- For future of our friendship - Like fish eggs.
- Can you not use the word membrane while I'm eating?
(laughs)
(gentle horn music)
- Today we're trying food from IKEA.
- I've never had any of this food before.
I'm excited. - No, I've had IKEA ice cream.
- I heard about the meatballs.
Unfortunately, they do have pork in them,
so as Nicki Minaj says, "oink, oink,
"no pig for me."
Don't quote me on that one.
I don't eat pork, but they have veggie options.
So, should we try some of these things?
- Nah, let's definitely try some.
(upbeat energetic flute music)
- So, I don't eat meat, so I'm gonna leave the real
Swedish meatballs to you. - I'll stick to these.
- Just looks like something you could find
in a hospital cafeteria.
- That's exactly what I was gonna say.
It looks very sterile,
(laughing)
but like cute.
Sterile, but cute.
- Does this come with IKEA instructions?
I don't know what sauce to dip the meat into.
- I'm gonna dip it in this little gravy here.
- Okay.
- Wait, is that the sauce for the balls,
or for the vegetables?
- I have no idea.
- I'm gonna just do it. - Okay yeah, go ahead.
Go for it.
- Okay, sauce free.
- Whoa!
- Yeah, this meat's really soft.
- They actually changed the game.
Let me try the other sauce.
Lingonberry sauce.
- It's very Thanksgivingy. - The sweet sauce.
- It smells like strawberries though.
- Yeah.
- Oh, no.
Just dip it in the gravy.
(laughing)
- It's a bit stronger than I was expecting, yeah. (laughing)
The like tartness of this. - Yeah its like,
I don't know, Swedish cranberry sauce.
- That tastes like melted down Starburst.
- Have you ever seen broccoli that color?
- No, this looks like a weed nug.
(giggles)
Wait, look at that, that clustering.
It's incredible, I can see the fractals in this.
The one I'm holding's only legal in a few states.
- So, this tastes like every veggie plus air.
- How's that membrane smell? - Ugh.
Just. (laughs)
I'm good, I'm done.
(upbeat energetic music)
- We got salmon because we're really fancy.
- See, it's Swedish fish,
get it? - Yeah.
- So, it's a lemon sauce over the salmon because we fancy.
- Got some broccoli, cauliflower.
- It's really into the vegetables.
I'm excited about this vegetable loaf.
- Okay, so shall we?
- Let's get it.
Huh.
- Ooh.
- The outside is really soft, really fatty.
I'm surprised by how good this is.
- Has a very fishy taste.
- Yes, even like the lemon sauce
does not cut through the-- - No, it doesn't.
- Oh, yeah.
- This is, I'm so uncomfortable right now
with how much you're enjoying this.
- It's tasting more and more like Filet-O-Fish.
(laughs)
- You know, before I judge, let me take a piece of this.
- What is it? - You know.
- Mystery item.
(giggles)
What is it? - Okay,
I'm not feeling this one. - What is it?
- Give me the meatballs, baby.
- I'm just barreling through this, you okay?
- Everything on this plate tastes like fish.
- It really just tastes like vegetables, to me.
- There's like potato, and onion, and broccoli.
- It's like potato with green beans inside.
- I like that.
- Yeah no, that was a winner,
except for the parts that were too close to the fish.
- I like the meatballs better,
or the veggie meatballs, for me.
- Yeah, gimme those meatballs.
(upbeat energetic music)
- It's cake time.
- This is the Daim cake?
Or?
- I'm gonna put my money on Daim.
- Also, really love the cultural garb.
- Why doesn't all the food come with the little flag?
- I think I'll eat that first.
- And so this has pieces of like
really famous candy bars in it.
It should be really good.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Oh, yeah.
I'm all for this. - Mm.
- It's softer than I expected, but it is so much better
than everything else we've eaten here.
- It's really sweet.
- It is really sweet, very sweet.
- It's really sweet, but it's good.
- It's really rich, it's really sweet.
- This is the-- - I could definitely
have too much of this. - Yeah.
- What's here made out of, I wonder.
- I'm pretty sure that's just a little bit of heaven.
(giggles)
- So, it's like someone melted a Crunch bar
on top of a cake.
- This would taste so good with some coffee.
- Well, I was gonna say ice cream.
- Oh, ice cream too, but some coffee.
- No, not me. - That'd be good.
- This is a good comfort food.
I'm less sad after eating this.
- If you go to IKEA just grab some meatballs,
and grab a cake, get you a new desk.
- Ooh, this would look, get you a new desk.
- I was hoping this third course had carrots too.
- What was your experience like today?
- I'm all in on IKEA.
They were my first choice to go grab furniture before.
Now they're my first choice to go grab a meal.
- I thought the vegetarian stuff was pretty good.
A lot of carrots, and broccoli,
and cauliflower, so a lot of fiber.
The desert is really good.
- That first dish was just pretty much just Thanksgiving.
I would have this again.
