Swedish chefs on the hop trying to serve ballsy delicacies Down Under
Flat-pack furniture king IKEA is hoping to have customers jumping up and down for its latest offering – kangaroo meatballs.
Unlike the backlash that engulfed the chain in Europe years ago, where it was sprung substituting beef with horse meat, IKEA is hopeful its Down Under offer will have hungry shoppers bounding in to its Democratic Design Days Australia exhibit.
The three-day design festival at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art from 27 to 29 August will showcase IKEA’s “Aussie first” program.
The event is free for those who book and samples of the exclusive roo balls will be available from 11am to 1pm each day of the festival.
I've never eaten kangaroo, so will be giving those a miss. Have enjoyed many great lunches at IKEA in Perth including their vegetarian meatballs made out of kale, corn, red peppers, carrots, chickpeas, peas, and pea protein. Yummy.
