For a lot of people, the prospect of a trip to Ikea is much more terrifying than anything dreamt up by Henning Mankel. The search for a car park space. The seemingly endless trudge through vast grottos full of kitchenware, linen, toys, lighting and every other domestic essential. The towering racks of flat-pack furniture. The queue to pay. The overpowering sense of being trapped in a blue-and-yellow fantasy world. The Swedish superstore has a way of messing with the equilibrium like no other retail outlet.

But calm down for a moment. Be patient, hang on in there, and just beyond the check-out, you’ll be granted your reward. This is where Ikea sells its range of Swedish food cartons of prinsesstrta (a creamy layer cake), freezers full of kttbullar (meatballs), jars of roll mops in dill sauce … suddenly your trip is looking up.

Swedish food like this, with its vitamin-rich sauces, fish full of omega-three fatty acids, and locally-sourced ingredients, is considered as good for your heart as it is for your carbon footprint. With Swedish restaurants like Madsen in South Kensington and and Garbo in Marylebone proving trendy if not entirely aimed at the consumer on a budget, Ikea’s food could give Britons a cost-price opportunity carbon fiber drag race bodies to sample a model culinary landscape. It certainly seems to be a success Ikea has food halls in all its 18 British locations and its restaurants shift 13 million meals a year.

So who buys this stuff? On the sunny weekend I venture to Ikea’s Wembley food hall, there are just two people looking through the stacks. Iris Hall, 58, is captivated by the promise of renktt reindeer but walks away empty-handed. Ed Clarke, 36, stuffs a couple of packs of Kakor Havreflarn, or oat crisps, into his shoulder bag. To be fair, I am there at 11am and the store has just opened. But could it be that the British public are not convinced by the merits of a well-stocked smrgsbord?

Ikea’s spokespeople wouldn’t be drawn on who their typical food customer might be, but it looks like it serves a mainly expat market. I make a quick call to Bronte Blomhoj, a Dane living in London and founder of the Scandinavian Kitchen a restaurant, delicatessen and caf specialising in northern European food. She was one of the first Scandinavian ex-pats to shop in Ikea for food when it came to the UK in 1987. “Ikea does have a place in promoting Scandinavian and Swedish food in Britain,” she says. “OK, it’s on the cheaper side, but in terms of getting people familiar with what a Swedish meatball is and serving those who already know it’s very good.”

So does the store’s food stand up as well as its bunk beds? Initially, I am unconvinced, but taking advantage of my venture to north-west London, I fill my fridge with garishly designed packets. I send out my invites for a planned evening at which I resolve to play no more than three Abba tracks and to serve solely food sourced from the famous Swedish furniture chain.

Storage, thankfully, isn’t an issue. Cold winters in Sweden have meant people have had to rely on lots of pickling, freezing and smoking, especially of fish, and as such I’m mainly dealing with tins. The flipside is that Ikea’s food is somewhat lacking on the fresh-ingredient front. Southern Sweden’s sunnier months see asparagus, strawberries, herbs, beetroot, and crayfish grace the nations’ tables none of which numbers among the collection of well-known Swedish brands now in my possession. The day of the dinner party I am still reading up on my proposed menu when the doorbell rings to herald the arrival of my first guest. I sit them down at the table with a glass of cheap chilled white and dash into the kitchen.
