IKEA's Swedish meatballs are tasty and great fuel for those long days of following arrows and picking out furniture that you're forced to assemble yourself using just a metal letter "L" and cartoon instructions. But how the heck do you pronounce Köttbullar?
Like this:
SHUT-boo-lahr.
We learned this using IKEA på Scenskaabout (IKEA in Swedish), a neat website that teaches you how to say all sorts of Ikea product names, including food items such as Gräddsås (cream sauce), Lingonsylt (lingonberry jam) and Påskmust (Swedish Easter drink). Click on any box and a woman says the word. Learn it, put it to memory and impress all your friends.
