The romaine lacked a fresh crispness, the Parmesan wasn't particularly flavorful, and the croutons were merely fine. Also, the dressing for the salad comes in a packet.
The potato pancakes from IKEA weren't downright awful, but they were super bland, weirdly flat, and somewhat stiff. In short, they were boring overall.
A big issue with the texture of the pancakes is that they seemed almost stale, and they didn't have any strong flavors to really help make up for that unsavory texture.
Even the slightest bit of salt would have gone a long way to bring flavor to this egg salad. It wasn't very creamy, but the lettuce and bread were fine.
IKEA's salmon fillet comes with a scoop of mashed potatoes and a medley of green beans and peas, which appeared very bare bones when it came to seasoning or sauce.
The salmon is okay, though not the freshest; the mashed potatoes and veggies were also incredibly boring. While it's far from the worst dish, there's nothing special about it.
