Now I wish I had tried the lutefisk my uncle used to cook in my
Grandmother's North Dakota home. It stunk up the house. Given the
chance now, I would try a tiny bite for the sake of family and tradition.

I tried it. Made by an authentic Norwegian.
Never again.

I'm one of the few people that actually like lutefisk. Drizzle with a
little butter, and if I remember correctly, it's traditionally served
with peas.

In that article, it was served with mashed potato, cranberry sauce, and
meatballs.

One diner whan asked if he liked it said "It has butter on it. Butter is
good." !!!

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one.
It is rather and endless struggle
that will go on to the very last moment of our lives.
Nobody is born a warrior,in exactly the same way that
nobody is born an average man.
We have to make ourselves into one or the other.
A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken.

There's counterfeit Norwegians, out there?

I just read a letter from my Mom(tm) and she mentioned that she ate the
100-year-old eggs back in 1971. I never knew that. I plan to ask her how
they were when I do my weekly call to her in about 15 minutes. :-O

You betcha! I lived in Wisconsin a long time ago and was invited to
have some as part of a family's holiday tradition.

I had to eat the ass out of a road-killed skunk to get the taste of
lutefisk out of my mouth.<vbg>

Get yourself out to Seattle. Central Market in Shoreline (and I assume
the other markets in this small chain) carries lutefisk, courtesy of the
large number of Scandinavians in the area. Last week the SO asked the
fishmonger if people really bought the stuff. The answer was yes,
probably for the reasons you describe.

One of my friends was born and raised in Iowa, and her parents would
serve lutefisk and lefse once a year. The children had to eat it, but
her mom & dad never touched it.

Lefse is a treat! I haven't had lefse in about twenty-five years.

OH yes, Lefse is wonderful. That same authentic Norwegian made Lefse too. I loved that.

It seems as though many Norwegian foods aren't
very good. I detest gjetost, which seems to be
the national cheese of Norway. Awful stuff.

I suppose some cultures keep alive traditions
of disgusting foods just as a way to maintain
a national identity. Stuff like Marmite.
Or haggis.

I guess the U.S. doesn't have a disgusting
national food. Our national foods are mostly
fattening, but quite tasty and edible. The
most disgusting U.S. national food is probably
Jell-O, but only if you're not used to it.
It doesn't smell bad, taste bad, or look bad
(unless you insist food should look like food).
Unless you know where it comes from, how it's made,
or what's in it, it's not disgusting at all.

You're an example of a person who shouldn't
be allowed to own a gun. Too weird.

In other words, her parents were abusive assholes.
