Your Last Meal is celebrating 200 episodes (er, belatedly – this is technically episode 203!) with a replay of the podcast’s 100th episode – a very special show where host Rachel Belle interviewed three spectacular 100-year-old Seattle women about their careers, favorite food memories and, of course, their fantasy last meals.

Many of the last meals shared on the podcast are rooted in nostalgia – a dish someone loved as a child, a celebration meal shared with family, a memorable dinner shared with a partner on vacation. And this episode is no different!

Inspired by one of the women’s love for the Swedish meatballs her mother-in-law taught her to cook, Rachel gets in touch with the world’s most famous Swedish meatball makers: IKEA! We’ll learn why a furniture store started slinging meatballs, and where the name IKEA comes from.
