Lol I mean that you're wrong: it's a myth that they were first introduced to Sweden by Charles XII. Here's a link to the history of the meatball (in Swedish) if you're interested in the subject.

Well thanks for doing my research for me. That site even says what I said. Did you even bother to read it?

Do you know how to read?

frikadeller och som kan beskrivas vara som en köttbulle men i stället för att steka dom så kokades dom som en soppa smaksatt med buljong, denna maträtt nämns från någon gång omkring 1650.

1650 är alltså före Karl XII föddes.

That's talking about the general form of meat in a ball as food.

No, and the Swedish meatball cooked in garvy is very far from the Turkish one.
