    Evening all! I trust you’re all doing well…
    I couldn’t make the trip to Sweden without seeking out a meatball challenge, so that’s what’s on the cards tonight.
    I’m presently trekking through the lush green forest of North Carolina, so if I’m less active than usual in the comments, I apologise.
    Thanks as always for watching and I hope I’ll see you next week.
    Cuddles, BMF ❤️

    Swede here! I can confirm it's a very traditional thing here to combine savory meats and sides with sweet jams or even jelly. Based on the weather I'm guessing you've been done with Sweden for like 6 months now, but if you ever want to re-live that classic Swedish flavor combo, meatballs with black currant jelly and boiled potatoes (and optional gravy) is another certified classic.

    That was some pretty funky music to start off the video, and if it's not the funkiest, it is for sure in the top 3. I don't think I've ever had Lingonberry, or quiet honestly even heard to this one and the Egg Cake video. Looks amazing though, even though it does look simplistic as well. All of the challenges looked just incredible and delicious, but it does make sense to do a Swedish Meatballs ones, don't even recall seeing many meatball challenges. Not necessarily a Sweet berry dip, but sure you've had or heard of Sweet & Sour Meatballs (sorry for assuming, just to me it seems to be a common thing where I'm too - Canada). Not only did you crush it, but you also set the new record, congrats on both. That medal does look really good though.

    Good job! As a Swede I'm obviously used to the sweetness lingonberry sauce bring to a meatball dish, but sometimes you can have the less sweet "rårörda lingon", where the berries haven't been cooked. It's a matter of taste, of course, but regular lingonberry sauce can definitely taste very sweet - especially when commercially made. I haven't really thought about it until now, but the most commonly used swedish name for it is "lingonsylt", where "sylt" translates to jam.

      The mashed potatoes and the creamy gravy can be very heavy and the lingonberries are supposed to be sour-sweet so it's a very nice contrast to the quite heavy food. Lots of lingonberry jam you buy from the store is a bit too sweet though so the effect goes away but if you make your own you can put just enough sugar in it to cut the worst acidity.
