My spelling may not be precise, but what about lutefisk?

[elcid1970]

IIRC, lutefisk is a Norwegian comestible.

I lived in Green bay, WI many decades ago. The term “smorgasbord”, with & without umlauts, described the menu of almost any buffet-style restaurant or dining room in the local area.

It was the last time I ordered and enjoyed frog legs (delicious, as I recall).

what about lutefisk?

See my post 6. We had it every Christmas Eve, but, as I say, my grandparents grew up in Sweden in the late 1800s, so that may be an older Swedish custom that is no longer practiced there as much.

"lutefisk" is the Norwegian mispelling of the Swedish "lutfisk". I believe that they are actually the same dish. I tried to eat it once. Couldn't make myself swallow.

Then again, I've never had a Swedish Christmas. I'm Jewish so we had a normal dinner at my grandparents, the one time we were freezing in a Malmo winter. We just had meatballs made with beef and chicken, instead of pork and veal schnitzel searved with lingonberries, pickles, and potatoes.
