Dime bars, dime bars… All I remember is some vaguely annoying ad, I’m not sure I ever one. Hard chewy butterscotch toffee surrounded by chocolate, was it?
funny Jean, I think I had the same lunch as you – it seemed the least processed. We had two kids meals too – 1.95 and the husband had meatballs. A couple of fizzies at a euro each (generic brand) all in all a positive experience – as for not going there just for lunch, I’d almost just go there for their ice-creams at the tills…at 50c a cone, even when you add on the toll for us Southsiders, it’s better value than going to your local shop and a (reasonable) good day out!!
The fame of their Swedish meatballs is baffling. They are, to be very charitable, unappetising.
I will confess to a definite weakness for the 2 euro hotdog meal offered after the tills. Oh the shame of it, I would, in fact, make up an ostensible reason for going to IKEA just to scarff one, or maybe even two, of the hotdos meals.

I find the food at Ikea very good value. Sadly, they don’t sell salted liquorice in the shop anymore (I know, it’s weird…. But I loved it!!!)
