Now you are moving to the smurf kitchen you might start feeling the need for ikea (be afraid!) And yes I would recommend the millennium trilogy despite the disturbing conclusions (and Lorraine is backing me up on this)<br /><br />Thanks Carla - sounds good - will email<br /><br />Thanks Louise - I didn't know that Stockholm is a great vegan city - wish I could get there and find out for myself but I can't say ikea gives any clues (though you are right about the prices)<br /><br />Thanks Lysy - I think would be better off buying food like jam and pasta than eating inJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-89095056877601738302010-06-16T05:38:28.342+10:002010-06-16T05:38:28.342+10:00I love going to the shop in Ikea - I always come a...I love going to the shop in Ikea - I always come away with yet more jam, and last time, some organic wholewheat pasta shaped like reindeer - I defy anyone to resist!

I just finished the last one am on of the first now (long story, saw the first movie and Book Depository was late in delivering the first book so I went on to read the other two).

My grandson has many food allergies and the one and only time she tried to purchase something vegetarian for him, they made such a production out of it. She got angry and he embarrassed. <br /><br />She did send me a jar of the lingonberry that I haven't tried yet. And, the kids do enjoy the Swedish fish:) <br /><br />It's a shame the environment seems to be conducive to kids and yet, the food, not. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Johanna. I really do enjoy my visits here:)~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-66249615161416310732010-06-14T21:36:39.231+10:002010-06-14T21:36:39.231+10:00I am an ikea lover!

I just happened to have eaten there this week and I ordered the vegetarian quiche with salad. It was all a bit meh and tasteless. Also, on two past occasions my salad has included bugs! Eeep.

I feel like a kid in a sweetie shop. Graham doesn't feel quite the same way and drags himself around the shop with a sullen air and an eye to all I am loading in the trolley. We don't bother with the cafe, but we did try a veggie hotdog on the way out last time. It wasn't fabulous, but a great novelty for us. Oh and I can't leave without stocking up on swedish fish (jelly sweets - veggie friendly) which I am addicted to. Jelly sweeties are my only regret in being veggie. I love them more than chocolate, but they usually contain gelatin.Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-78411027542586980042010-06-14T19:51:00.835+10:002010-06-14T19:51:00.835+10:00I actually had the Ikea $2.50 vegetarian breakfast...I actually had the Ikea $2.50 vegetarian breakfast just over a week ago. Definitely much better than lunch. I was pretty satisfied with scrambled eggs, fried tomato, hash brown and baked beans. Especially for $2.50. :DAmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084139587852030601noreply@blogger.com
