1. Gratis means free – not sure where you are, but there are no IKEAs that give away free meatballs.
2. From what I’ve read, seen, and heard, the words “good chassidese hashgacha” are a misnomer. According to a few friends who are mashgichim for various agencies in the U.S. and E”Y, the Badatz hashgachot are no better or worse than any other hashgacha.
We went to IKEA in Rishon last week, and bought some living room cabinets. We had no problems. We didn’t have the meatballs, but we did have falafel. It wasn’t bad.
