Some substitutions may be necessary (unsweetened rusk flour? Breadcrumbs will probably do) but in any case, here it is. I’ll probably make them tomorrow, and use half-and-half because that’s what I happen to have available.

Lovely, had them at my local store about a week before the lockdown.
Great going down, but not so good still burping them up 5 hours later, I’m not sure what is is in them but something doesn’t agree with me.
I’ll pass:)
I’ve been to an IKEA but didn’t have the meatballs. They didn’t have a cafeteria, and I didn’t have a place to store them in the meantime.
They look easy to make, however.
Isn’t this one of the signs of the End of Days?
I once ate IKEA meatballs with chopsticks in Shanghai.
At the risk of showing my extreme ignorance, is “dl” deciliter? So from the recipe, 2 dl of beef stock is equivalent to 6.7 oz, or nearly a cup?
Also, " Mix all the ingredients into a smooth farce …"
Umm…a paste? Google says “forcemeat”?
Thanks!
I, for one, will not be entertaining any culinary farces. I prefer my meatballs to be serious business.
I don’t see any horse meat.
Rest assured that, on every planet in the Galaxy, adequate substitutes can be found.
Never had IKEA meatballs, but that recipe sounds bland and boring, to me. They should stick to furniture.
Yes, it means decilitre, one-tenth of a litre. A litre is just over a US quart. So 1 dl = 0.42 US cups.
I believe *farce *is simply ground meat (or, as the British would say, minced meat). The Russian word is farsh.
According to Collins, it’s also the French word for “stuffing.” So yeah, a smooth mixture of ground meat.
I’m wondering if cardamom can be substituted for allspice. I know it’s used a lot in Nordic cooking.
We made these! They are very good but the sauce was so bland I had to add a lot more worcestershire, salt, lemon, soy sauce and mustard to make it tasty (also only had chicken stock not beef). We did not happen to have lingonberries on hand (I do not know what these actually are) but Trader Joe’s Morello cherries make an excellent substitute for the fruit sauce. We had them with boiled potatoes, roasted beets, and green salad.
You don’t need to eat very many meatballs to feel that you’ve had enough, unless you’re a lumberjack or something.
Lingonberries are a European equivalent to North American cranberries, which can be substituted for them. They too are commonly used in Nordic cooking.
When I was in Finland many years ago, I had reindeer with lingonberry sauce. Very good! 
You’d be primarily swapping out, IIRC, eucalyptol for eugenol. Different flavor but I can’t see the end result tasting bad.
Try using some dill before adding a lot of other stuff. When I make Swedish meatball sauce, I use 10% cream, salt, pepper, parsley, and dill. To thicken the sauce, I use a roux made with butter.
Either chicken or beef stock can be used. As for the meatballs themselves, I usually substitute veal for beef.
I’ve never made the recipe, but the ready-made meatballs that IKEA sells frozen are actually quite tasty. They’re also pretty versatile, for those that aren’t particularly fans of the white sauce and lingonberry thing.
I don’t think I’ve been in an IKEA store in probably 40 years. I had no idea they had branched into food. 
I was at the St. Louis store on Eclipse Day, and they did have a freezer section but, like I said, no cafeteria. I did get some jam that I gave as Christmas gifts.
I just used Google Translate to see if “farce” meant anything in Swedish, and it doesn’t. I agree that it was probably a misspelling of “force” as in forcemeat, which is just another term for ground meat.
Nutmeg could probably also be used in place of allspice.
It could be blander and more boring by leaving out the unspecified amount of white pepper. Depends on how thick you make the sauce, but I imagine they’d just slide right off the furniture.
I had no idea there were IKEA stores that didn’t have cafeterias.
