Personally, I rarely use the term, “scared”. However, when considering “radical Lutherans and their exploding lutefisk”, all bets are off.
I once spent a Christmas in Northern Minnesota with a family of Norwegian origin. I HAVE experienced lutefisk, and I can honestly say that it was frightening, not only to smell, but to eat. God help us...
We German Lutherans aren't 'radicalized'. We don't eat Lutefisk. We eat
Zulze instead. Spread on good German rye, MMMmmmmmm.
