I am Swedish and very much enjoy the meatballs at IKEA. They do not taste significantly worse than homemade or those from a fancy restaurant.
Just as a counterpoint to all the negativity in here.
(To be honest, I have never had a bad meatball. So the problem might be with me. Edit: actually, I tested plant-based meat(?)balls once. They were not good.)
As a fellow Swede, I disagree. They taste just marginally better than what I would get back in school for lunch. However, I can still enjoy them for what they are and have a plate if I drop by IKEA abroad. =)
