    The vegan alternative tastes terrible.

    And the meatballs are a blend of beef and pork in most countries. In Muslim places it’s beef with chicken, in Sweden you sometimes get moose variants for special occasions.

    Horse is not typically used for meatballs since the meat is too lean, you need fat as a binding agent and to prevent it from drying out.

      I disagree - I thought the vegan ones were fine! Cheapest meal out I’d had in a long time. They also had a lots of beds in their restaurant, so I could relax and let my food go down on-site.

      The horse joke was a reference to the massive recall a decade ago, when they found horse meat in their balls and sausages.

      Also, as a non vegan, I find the veg balls to be as good as their meat ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ As long as one doesn’t expect it to taste anything like meat…
