The Power of Lutefisk (and what it is):

Edited to say: I didn't really read over the article until just now and there are a couple of 'adult' words in the article. Just so you're forewarned.

Didn't they have that in the "luau from hell" competition?

That food list sure beats the hell out of Peanut Butter and Jelly. I could make lots of stuff with that.

So, do you think anyone put peanut butter on their list?

Eliz87, you're right -- lutefisk is what Jack wolfed down in that competition.

When the comp was over and they read the remaing balls, someone found Lobster.

during the comp someone found the lutefish, and asked what it is, the answer? "Jack ate it, it'll be ok"

lutefisk isn't that bad. In fact, it has very little taste. Yes they say it is cured in lye ( not how it is done anymore)...but is soaked for days to remove that before eating... What are you left with? Tasteless fish!!! We pour salted butter, and a white sause over it to give it flavor. I don't care for it, but my parents always served this at christmas as part of a typical Swedish/Scanadanavian dinner.

Nope nope nope, not gonna try it. I smelled it, I touched it and I actually put it in my mouth (but didn't swallow) and that was plenty. Sorry, I didn't do what I tell my kiddles to do (you know the line...try one bite...). And yes Hamsterlady, I was talking about lutefisk, not smelling and touching and swallowing something else, haha.

They actually have Scandanavian Clubs...that hold Lutefisk (pronouced Lute-a-fisk) suppers!!! Some people really go nuts over this stuff!

Have at it Happy. I'll just watch. :)

I already told you I don't care for the stuff....but my parents made me eat it as a child.

Sorry Happy. I think my kids are gonna feel the same way about kimchee. I don't make them eat it, but they gotta smell it when I eat it (let's face it, the smell is unavoidable). I think my hubby actually looks like he's choking down puke when he has to smell it, lol (the kimchee, not lutefisk).

isn't lye soap?

or is it you make soap with lye?

isn't lye bad for you?

Cangaroo

Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:03 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Well, maybe that's why they only eat it once a year, LOL. Lye, lie, neither one sounds good.

LOL HamsterLady!!! Needless to say...as an adult...I don't serve this to my children! LOL

OK - we have at least two threads talking about food right now and I want to complain that you are making me hungry! Wait, sorry, that goes in yet *another* thread...

Happycamper

Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:09 am EditMoveDeleteIP
yes, lye....as in lye soap.... But that was done a hundred years ago... They don't make it like that anymore...my parents buy it frozen now. In fact in mylife time....it was never cured in lye.

They soak it for days, to soak the lye out of it...changing the water every few hours. Again, it is not preserved like that anymore.

:P
Happycamper had steered this one to a delicious place...you missed the middle part...that wasn't so appetizing (the lutefisk part, sorry any Scandinavians out there). The other thread was good stuff.

Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:13 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Ah, yes, the lutefisk. I'm going to dream of chorizo instead......

Happycamper

Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:19 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Okay...I will add...Lutefisk is GROSS!!! I spit it out the very first time I tried it...and the smell while it is cooking??!!! OMG....dirty sneakers would have been more appetizing!

Cangaroo

Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:27 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Aw shucks Happy...the thread was in a good place!!!!! But, I will add, kimchee smells nearly as bad (think pickled cabbage and you'll understand).

Now, back to chorizo and perogies...YUM.

I supsect Jack has been "exposed" to lutefisk in his life time. Like I have mentioned before Lutefisk is quite common throughout the Scandanavian culture. (that was basically my intension on filling you all in in my experience)
