Lutefisk

[Marco]

JC,
"It had been almost twenty years since I had any lutefisk. Who knows how long it will be until I do again. ~ James Castwell"

Now ,regarding the above quote, was/is that because of your schedule or the "taste". My compliments to the LF for opting out of sampling this "delicacy".
Personally, I have a fairly strong stomach but once upon a time I stumbled onto just such a "fest" that also advertised ,to my interest, Swedish meatballs. The "aroma" of the Lutefisk on the buffet steam table made me lose interest real fast. This was a pre-pay affair and , looking back, the lost investment was a small price to pay.

I have a great friend, Eli, who is African American and from Georgia. We told him that Lutefisk was scandanavian Soul food. Last year he and I finished off 5 lbs. by oursleves. Our wives thought we were nuts!!!!

Gotta love that stinky fish!

I guess that makes both of you honorary Vikings. I can't get past the smell to let it touch my lips. This shows just how different we are, in spite of being so much the same. "To each is given..."

OK, If you make a sandwich out of it
using some of Joe's no knead bread would it:
A. make the fish stuff taste better? or
B. Ruin the taste of the bread?
Just curious. Jimsnarocks

the smell and sight is unbearable.
Every year my Grand Mother In Law has the traditional dinner.
I fill up my plate with meatballs and lefsa and leave the dining
area so I don't have to look at or smell the ICK.

....we born Swedes pronounce it "ludavisk"......

Who wants seconds.....? Help yourselves.

I never had any......nor the opportunity to. I gotta wonder why anyone would soak food in lye before they figured on eatin' it.........Hearabouts we use lye to clear clogged drains.............................ModocDan

That's the same stuff they use to soak the corn in before they grind it to a coarse powder to make grits. Not trying to hijack this thread, just noticed a food similarity here. Jim
