That’s much more than mildly.
Well it’s got one meatball. Serves you right for not ordering the meatballs sandwich.
Looks like 3 meatballs to me?
No, those are meat ellipsoids. Only one of them qualifies as a ball.
Also mildly infuriating is the lack of crosspost button so I can add this to !mls@lemmy.world — I guess it only appears when the post originates from a piefed instance?
Crossposts is definitely an option for Lemmy posts as well. What client are you using?
The pwa
Sorry, I have no clue what that is. Mobile or web?
If it’s mobile it could be hidden behind the share button. If it’s web… idk tbh. I mostly use mobile. But I’ve got both Piefed and Lemmy accounts (been trying out Piefed on occasion) and I’ve been able to crosspost between the two, but I did notice federation is a bit slow
PWA is short for progressive web app. It’s the website plus a little extra browser magic so you can save it to your phone’s home screen.
There’s federation issues between piefed and lemmy currently. It’s not like this normally.
Swede here, no one in Sweden has ever served meatballs with white sauce of any kind (no idea what it is) and dill… Highly doubt the meatball ingredients are even close to correct either.
bet it’s the same cum they put on their cinnamon buns
Any food in the US that’s qualified with <nationality> will typically baffle anyone of said nationality.
That’s true in every country, you should see “pizza Americana” or “American fried rice”.
Hell, it’s true just traveling across the US. Try “Phildadelphia Cheeseteak” a few hours’ drive out of Philly. They’ll ask if you want marinara.
Accurate but I was trying to expand beyond “Americans using food words wrong”. (Also, “wrong” is culture purity nonsense in this context. Food and language evolve and that’s fine.)
You’re right that prescriptivism is fundamentally nonsense, but it’s been more than a decade and I still put airquotes on “pizza” when referring to it around Pittsburgh, because I don’t want to mislead visiting relatives
Or you know, watch the comment section of most Spanish omelette or paella videos. I’m there on the omelette comments btw, it’s not that fucking hard why does everyone fuck it up.
You know that there’s basically one paella recipe per Spanish village, right (if not more)? It’s probably the same for tortillas.
I’m Spaniard, I know. The thing is that Spanish omelette is a potato omelette, even though people then add other stuff to the base. They don’t call it tortilla de patata, they call it “tortilla de patata y X”. The only variances are the density of the omelette and if it has a little bell peppers (or more than a little, goddammit Biscay) or not. Anything else isn’t a “tortilla de patata”.
I’m not saying that it will taste bad, it just isn’t the thing. There are plenty “tortilla de patata y chorizo” and such, but you would never add chorizo or chatka in there and call it a “Spanish Omelette”.
I would be surprised to find anything but the basic omelette if I order a “pincho de tortilla”.
Regarding the paella, I’m not from Valencia so I won’t push back that much there, but I know that usually if you diverge from the standard Valencian paella, you state it in the name, like a galician “Paella de Marisco” and such.
Dude, people claim that putting bacon on a paella is traditional. No it fucking isn’t. It will taste fine but it fucking isn’t.
I’m sure you have a national dish known elsewhere that locally has plenty variations, but everyone agrees that the basic version is X.
Can verify, extremely baffled.
It’s Minnesota, they are more scandanavian than Scandinavia, I don’t trust you
Boo, Swedish meatball sandwiches have meatballs and beetroot salad.
That looks so good. Definitely another Swedish meatballs I’ve tried. That looks 100x better.
An American claiming America is better at scandinaviaing than Scandinavia, is the most American thing I’ve heard in my life.
First off I’m Canadian, and secondly America isn’t, but Minnesota is.
If you served this in Sweden you’d get angry side glances and passive aggressive snorts.
I’m assuming the same can be said about USA with this particular sandwich lol
I’m guessing it’s a white gravy instead of a brown gravy, so colored from cream and flour. I’ve only ever had brown gravy and lingonberries with my swedish meatballs, but then I’ve also only ever had them at Ikea which I’m sure isn’t the best representation.
Seems like they probably skipped the broth. Looks basically just beschemel, though, being generous, it may have a bit of mustard, sour cream, and/or some herbs mixed in.
Looks like a Polish thing, pulpety w sosie koperkowym.
Assuming that’s real, it would be totally justified to throw it against the wall and demand a real sandwich
Frankly I think this would justify homicide
mildly?
no no that’s a mistake, they can fix it or take it back that’s just insulting
That’s not a sandwich. That’s a piece of bread that got fucking trafficked.
This would be “midly” if it was a $5 gas station sub
To be fair, it only said “meatball” and there’s at least two of them instead of only 1.
I dislike shrinkflation, but this is egregious!
Lol
Feeding this little is a war crime in more civilized societies.
