I remind a swedish dish called "kalops" which is a bigger meatball,
whereas
"köttbullar" a small meatballs. I never saw the recipt for that dish,
but
there might be a connection to "Königsberger Klopse".

Talking of swedish meals, I have never understood how they dare to eat
"surströmming". It seems that this fish is not smelling too good, one
shouldn`t
think that it is eatable at all.

Greetings,

Anja
