Meatball inventors? We stole that straight up from the ottomans
That's why the map says meatball "inventors" instead of just meatball inventors
The Franco-Ottoman alliance of 1536 stands strong
Ah yeah, I missed the quotation marks
I think you confuse that with kåldolmar, which has that origin. Meatballs were quite a staple in most Northern European countries for centuries before any of that. Of course Sweden didn't invent meatballs either, they just popularised them outside of Europe via Ikea.
The more you know! Seems like the theory of both Kåldolmar and Köttbullar being Ottoman-inspired is disputed.
