"There are almost as many recipes for Swedish meatballs as there are Swedish amateur chefs. The three main types are: (1) small, fried, served without sauce;
(2) large, fried, served in brown gravy;
(3) medium size, boiled, served in sauce.
The present recipe is a very simple version of type-1 meatballs, a childrens favourite."
