Oooh boy. For the first time, I'm kinna glad I'm not gonna be there, eh?
Lefsa, ah, now lefsa is good, hot with a little butter, or anything else you
want to wrap up in it. But lutefisk? An aberration and insult to human
taste buds, invented by Norwegians to definitively separate themselves from
all other people on earth. It worked.

but we dig holes in the ice to find the elusive lude.

lye and make some lude/fisk.

Hi Vince,
I think one does best to have it with some nice, room
temperature-aged Lindberger Cheeze...
Too, ever had that Japaneese delicay, 'Natto'?
Ohhh, yum....
One of those things over which even a starving alley Dog
would have that look of "You gotta be kidding..." if you
handed it some...

Them folks way up north got some quite different cuisine.
Years ago did B&B in Florida over Christmas break, stayed in home of
Icelandic women, recently widowed. Asked me & the wife to have
Christmas Eve dinner with her - boiled lamb, boiled potatoes, boiled
other stuff - but the "highlight" was before dinner - cheese, bread,
a giant tumbler of frozen cold vodka and raw fermented shark meat!
Took one bite of the shark - on my God - thought I'd just drank
ammonia - downed the entire tumbler of vodka!
Sounds like we're gonna be well fed in the Clayart room!

My Norwegian relatives say that no sane person has needed to suffer lutefisk
since refrigeration was invented!
Lefsa, on the other hand...I was introduced to it in Frost, MN, circa 1964.
Butter and a sprinkling of brown sugar. Pure heaven.
