Prepackaged meatballs

The Barenaked ladies, in the mid-90's asked the burning question: Why are there prepacked sausages but no prepacked bacon?

In Sweden, they went one step better: prepacked meatballs. Of course, Sweden is renowned the world over for its meatballs, thanks in no small part to the marketing genius of the IKEA (and the Swedish Chef - see earlier post).



In Swedish, meatballs are "köttbollar".

The "k" in Swedish is often pronounced as "sh", and the "ö" is pronounced "euh" like "feuille" in french so if you say "shitballs", you won't be far off.
