Lutefisk
Any body having Lutefisk today? That is the one thing I am glad MY family knows nothing about. My Norwegian grandparents had it every Christmas along with boiled sheep head.
It's a wonder I survived

we had some one year, I'm not sure if we had prepared it correctly.... from the sounds of things we did
My side of the family is content with the smoked eel. For some reason the spouses don't want to touch the stuff either....

Not exactly on subject... We have Lasagna!!!!
This year it took me 30 pounds of cheese to make two of these little platters of goodness.
No offense, but I like our tradition better than sherod's and I have never ever ever tried Lutefisk.

Based on a bet. That has got to be the funniest thing I
have read on here.
Doc, my stepdad likes headcheese.
We never saw eye-to-eye on many things when I was younger.

I had the good fortune (insert sarcasm here) of eating some Lutefisk last night. For those of you lucky enough to not know what Lutefisk is, here is a short description. Take some cod fish, soak it in Lye (yeah, the poisonous stuff), and let it sit for a LONG time. The lye preserves it I guess. Then, when you're finally dumb enough to eat it, you boil it in H2O until it turns transluscent ( this step is VERY smelly, if you like huffing anything, I would recommend doing it now, model airplane glue, gas, diesel, whatever) Then you add some cream and butter to your smelly concoction, and you have Lutefisk, Swedish style. If you have to eat it, I would recommend serving it over potatoes, with some butter and a TON of salt. MMM MMM GOOD. Luckily my wife is Swedish, so I get to eat this gruel every year for XMas. But her mother said that I'm going to Heaven since I ate it. ( I think this is what they tell the little kids so they'll eat it)

I've posted this before, but it's still funny:
In Roger Welsch's book "Diggin' In and Piggin' Out: The Truth About Men and Food" he tells about tossing some leftover lutefisk out in the yard for his two Labs, Lucky and Thud. He says "I thought they might like it. They eat cow poop, for Pete's sake. I tossed the fish into the yard. The dogs sniffed it, circled it, sniffed again, and then...then I got a new assessment of exactly where lutefisk stands on the gastronomic scale: they rolled in it."
