Seems I got a wrong turn in the thread "If your pet was a person...", and would like to continue it here!
A lot of swedish food is best enjoyed with an icecold brew, like the famous Janzon's temptation. My mom used to serve a light Resling with it though, whereas I would rather have a distinctive one, for instance Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Anyway something with powerful taste. Because of the onions in this dish it's actually a very wine-friendly meal!
The meatballs are a perfect beer meal, has to be a bitter beer, though, to accompany the sweetness of the lingonberry jam that is mandatory! The side order, or what you call it, is always plain cooked potatoes and a rich brown cream sauce.
