    Yeah as a Scandinavia living in france, all that part is totally off too.

    The Meatball thing? Sounds amerikanish too, def not french.

          Oh? Like the US and their statue of liberty? Or the Dutch and their tulips?

            The statue was given by the french, but the USA started by giving one to France IIRC (they paid for the first one in Paris if I got that correctly). It’s obviously smaller, you can see it on one of the bridges in Paris.

            Actually there are a whole bunch of them in Paris, that’s a little rabbit hole if you’re curious.

        i mean maybe that’s what made it well known outside sweden, but meatballs are also a bog standard thing inside sweden.
        Meatballs with mashed potatoes, gravy, and lingonberries is the “default food” basically, like fish and chips in the UK.
