Swedish meatball admission: They're Turkish
Swedish meatballs, the national dish of Sweden, have been revealed to have originated from another country - Turkey.
A post on Sweden.Se, the nation's official Twitter account, on Saturday told followers: "Swedish meatballs are actually based on a recipe King Charles XII brought home from Turkey in the early 18th century. Let's stick to the facts!".
Reaction to the news has included speculation over what other foods may be Turkish, and what this may mean for Swedish furniture store Ikea, known for its meatballs.
