I’ve had people threaten me with lutefisk.

I did exactly what they asked, and darn quick, too!

We lived for a few wonderful years in Williston ND. I saw and heard about lutefisk but managed to avoid actually eating any of the stuff.

I still love and keep in touch with our friends up there, though--in spite of their odd eating habits--LOL!

Try Lefse! Very tasty with sugar and Cinnamon.

Lutfisk & lefse.....yummmmmmmm. If prepared properly and served with melted butter, it is actually pretty good. But eat it before it gets cold, and that’s a trick in itself.

I make lefse....we love lefse....and while some like it with sugar & cinnamon, I never do that. I don’t mind if others do it, but I prefer mine just plain with butter or with meat rolled up in it. Meat like, Norwegian meatballs, leftover turkey or chicken, and even breakfast sausage links.

My son was back in Minnesota for Thanksgiving. He smuggled 6 lbs. of lutefisk back to Los Angeles for Christmas dinner. I wonder what the baggage screener thought it was?

I’m part Finn, and not even I could stomach the stuff when Grandpa would bring it out of the dungeon—EW!!

Lye, the same stuff you leach out of wood ashes to make soap...or soak corn in to make hominy.

Thankfully my church was full of mutts and Germans - instead of Lutefisk we had the most incredible sausage suppers. Whoever made the sausage had a secret recipe and it was very good with lots of mustard seed in it.

Then one year the local restaurant owners got together and convinced the politicians that they needed a new regulation in town that essentially prohibited churches from having such events, or made it such a pain in the rear to do the paperwork it accomplished the same end. They were upset because our old ladies and gents cooked better food than they could, I suppose.

My new church is full of Lutherans from Michigan who apparently can't cook and don't want to try, so the restaurant owners down here are not threatened. Can you believe they have BAKELESS bake sales?

I’d love to try it!
