Norwegians spell it
lutefisk.
We Swedes correctly spell it
lutfisk.

"Lutfisk: The piece of cod that passes all understanding." The whole purpose of lutefisk is to push it around on your plate as an excuse to eat all the rest of the good stuff at a Norwegian Lutheran Church dinner.

Lutfisk: The piece of cod that passes all understanding. Was passing through eastern South Dakota in the mid 80's (1986 I think) and stopped in a small town that, as part of its centennial celebration, had a booth run by a local church group offering "free honorary status as a Swede" if you could buy and down some lutfisk and convince them you actually liked it.
Turns out I didn't qualify, but at least it served to warn me off trying haggis to prove I was Scottish.

Lutfisk: The piece of cod that passes all understanding. I've never tried lutefisk. And that's no lye.
