So, whether you call them Swedish meatballs or Turkish meatballs in disguise, let's appreciate the rich history and mouthwatering flavors that bring joy to our plates. And to those who still debate their true origins, let's just agree that meatballs have the power to unite us all through the universal language of taste. Thank you, and goodnight!
When you love someone, and love to cook, it’s like a love language. It gives me joy to create good food. It gives me GREAT joy to feed it to someone I care for and have them really love it. It’s a massive emotional boost. ❤
Now, back to Swedish meatballs versus Turkish meatballs. Let's talk about the differences. Swedish meatballs are often made with a mix of ground beef and pork, and they're traditionally flavored with spices like allspice and nutmeg. They're known for their creamy gravy and are often served with lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes. It's comfort food at its finest.
Now, we all associate meatballs with different countries. Italian meatballs, Greek meatballs, and yes, even Swedish meatballs. But when it comes to Turkish meatballs, they have a special place in my heart, and my stomach.

@@PoisonelleMisty4311Or Norwegian! Larger than the Swedish, double the size, like you have put two Swedish ones beside each other and made them a long meatball. They are served in a cream sauce, that has taken the taste of everything left in the skillet after frying the meatballs. They call them "kjøttkaker", (in Swedish('kaka/ 'kakor (Swedish, very close to Norwegian) means 'cake/cakes' OR 'cookie/cookies'. However, in Sweden we say "köttbullar", not 'balls', BUNS. In Sweden a 'bun' is a SWEET bun, made from wheat flour, usually there is cardamom in the dough, smooth like a little French bread or curled up like a cinnamon roll. Not far from cakes!)
So, whether they originated in Sweden or Turkey, let's appreciate the fact that both cultures have given us these delectable meatball options. It's like they're in a meatball diplomacy, showing us that no matter where we come from, we can all agree that rolling up meat into a ball is a culinary stroke of genius.
Turkish meatballs, on the other hand, are typically made with ground lamb or beef. They're seasoned with spices like cumin, paprika, and garlic for that delicious Middle Eastern twist. Turkish meatballs, also known as köfte, are often grilled and served with yogurt sauce, pita bread, and a variety of flavorful side dishes like tabbouleh or hummus.
@@sebeckley I was with a girl and did the exact some thing but as soon as we got to the place they’re like “actually, I’m not feeling pizza, let’s go get tacos instead.” And does this nearly every time we go out. Both my gas and my time were equally wasted which is why she is now my ex.
Whenever he cuts to the beginning fridge part , it always reminds me of the scene in grandma's boy, where he gets food or if the fridge and says, "IDK wtf you are but in gonna eat you, too"
Hey Chef, I found that you are using those iron utensils, I dreamed a lot about Calphalon then went for Lodge,Now completely enjoying those , won't go back to those coated utensils..!!!
I always cook for my Fiancé but sometimes he cooks for me. Usually though he always helps me cook if I ask or he stays in the kitchen and is on his phone watching UA-cam or talking to me so I don’t get lonely in the kitchen by myself. (I’m clingy)
Now, I have my own theory about this perplexing predicament. Picture this: a sneaky meatball thief, dressed in a striped shirt, running through the streets of Stockholm, with a bag full of Swedish meatballs. Then, in a dramatic turn of events, that same thief ends up in Istanbul, where they decide to drop the stolen Swedish meatballs and replace them with Turkish ones. Voila! A culinary heist that forever confuses us all.
looked semi authentic but we definetly do not cook the sauce and meatballs together so while close its still not right, and think thats dill? and definetly not used with meatballs.
@@sebastian114 There were some differences, but it was close enough.. we sometimes cook the meatballs with the sauce, sometimes not.. but we don't call them "swedish meatballs", we just call them meatballs.. 😄
And you know what? Let's not forget about the other meatball contenders out there. The Italians with their hearty, tomato-based meatballs. The Greeks with their herb-infused versions. It's like every culture wants to put their spin on the meatball, and I'm loving the variety.
Good. Hot tip from a Swede to take the meatballs to the next level. You fry the meatballs in a pan with butter, when they are fried, you place a little bit more in the pan and let it melt, you remove the meatballs and make the "brunsås" out of the buttery grease you have in the pan. Trust me. Also Lingon Berries and pickled cucumber fron vinegar is a must.
Almost swedish meatballs, but I would fry the in the pan instead of the owen just so you get a nice fond for the sauce😈 and where is the lingonberry jam???😱😱
Doing in the oven for scale is fine, though recommended to finish in a pan for better taste. You can still use some of the fat from the sheet pan if you want. Black currant jelly is very common anyway, I've never seen anyone have lingonberry with meatballs here in Sweden (though I know it's a thing). I approve of it :)
@@christoferstromberg6605 how have you never seen it?😂😂 It's so comon in most swedish cousine, raggmunk and fläsk, stekt strömming, kåldolmar. You usually put some in the sauce to make it even tastier😁👌
I love babe’s power suit🔥😍! Just sat there like yeah make me dinner. Also love how we don’t know her name or if we do I haven’t been listening closely enough! 😂🙈
I'd love to be like the guy in half baked that slept on the couch and woke up to smoke, but only at Andy's place and wake up to eat Andy's food! Can Jeff order lasagna please?
Swedish person here, we don't put nutmeg in our meatballs but allspice is correct for Swedish meatballs. A tip for the gravy/cream sauce is to season it with soy sauce. And instead of milk you can also soak the bread crumbs in cream. Otherwise overall good recipe
It's almost like they know they are recording a pre planed video on what to cook. How'd you think he'd go recording then she asked for something they didn't have.
This format never gets old. It’s not over the top corny, it’s unique, and the food always looks amazing. Keep it up 👍🏾
Never.
It is over the top corny
What? The Dom/Sub routine? It's very old. She's just not in black leather.

right best feeling in the world
As a Swedish person, I can confirm that I would always fry them in a pan instead of baking them in the oven
i was thinking that! also not cook them in the brun sås thats odd and most importantly ... was that Lingon sylt or Cranberry jam...
it looked good tho
Now, we all associate meatballs with different countries. Italian meatballs, Greek meatballs, and yes, even Swedish meatballs. But when it comes to Turkish meatballs, they have a special place in my heart, and my stomach.
No, baking them in the oven is very smart and I always do it if I serve more than 5 people
@pillowmanswe2350 I’m assuming cranberry jam. It’s hard to find lingonberries in the US, I can imagine it’s even harder in Australia.
Det är bättre att göra dom i ugnen först

Heck yeah that looked delicious! Love the content chef!
Watching Andy cook for his babe and makin her happy is so satisfying to watch, it makes me happy to see him cook so enthusiastically....👀
Always looking forward to your videos. Keep it up!
It is so amazing to see you create everything that I love!
But better! Thanks Andy!!
Fabulous comfort food! What a chef he is! Fantastic!
I love how he always takes out of the fridge the least important ingredient in that dish 😂😂

You should try making my favorite Vietnamese soup Bun Bo Hue. Not as popular as Pho but for me it’s one of the most flavorful.
Love your smile man, keep making great food.
This is Christmas dinner for my family. Highlight of the year every time

him: “What do you want for dinner?”
Ordinary person: “I’ll have pizza”

Not really swedish meatballs that recipe 😅 outlook yes
I love watching these shorts
That looks really good 🤤😋!!!!!!!
Nummy great choice Mrs.Chef .
looks delish and pretty accurate, safe for the fresh dill it is served with. in this video.. Presh parsley is the proper swedishmaetball way. 😊
That’s a lot of balls, Chef… and they sure look delicious!☺️❤️
I love your videos thank you for being such a huge inspiration! Chef on!!
Looks amazing!!!!
Sweetballs, nice. They look so good.
my favorite part about these videos is him asking, her answering, and his excitement while looking in the fridge
Love your enthusiasm
That potatoe masher/grater is cool.
This looks absolutely amazing, I've got to try that
That looks authentic
He said "yas", like he was thinking I'll give you meat balls, swede style 🤣🤣👍
That's very impressive and genuine! The only thing I'd add are sliced dill pickles on the side. They're a must-have with Swedish meatballs.

Faaaaaaauuuuuuuc, that looks so good!!!!
It’s the little yessss he makes when he finds stuff in the fridge ! I like these videos
