I can tell you this: the DH once talked me into serving lutefisk at
our traditional New Year's Day bowl watching party. Only the DH and an
intrepid pal from Scotland even tasted it - the odor preceded, as it
were. I could have used it to hold the lid of the garbage cans down
for years. No neighborhood critters would have gotten near it.

old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the
waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner."
