From The Sons of Norway website:

"Everyone of course is not a devotee of Lutefisk...others...claim it's a national disgrace...do not cook in aluminum vessels as it will darken the kettle."

It's cod soaked in LYE. These are serious people. Then again, I'm sure there's a better chance of winning than the "Twinkie" defense. I'd believe 'em. Especially if he washed it down with Haggis.

To enjoy Lutefisk truly, it must be accompanied by:

Gammelost cheese

Norwegian Goats Milk Cheese

(V = veg rennet, U = Unpasteurised, O = Organic)
Gammelost The name means 'old cheese' and it smells like it! It is made by maturing the cheese in a very damp atmosphere, which applies to most of Norway, then working the mould growth on the outside back into the cheese. It is actually not old but quite a young cheese as it only matures for about a month. Thought to date from Viking times, if you were English and they did not get you with a sword then their breath would kill you! It is blue veined and strong tasting if you can get it past your nose. Norwegians regard it as a delicacy and delight in feeding it to foreigners, going hysterical at their reactions of disgust!
