Somehow at work today the topic of lutefisk came up. It has been in the news here and there because this is the season for eating the stuff.
It's basically air-dried whitefish, prepared with lye. Which sounds not so good. In fact, it made this list of 6 most terrifying foods.
But I promised to ask our weekend house guests about it, since they grew up in Sweden.
The young lady wrinkled her nose and said she had never tried it. The young man said it was the traditional Christmas dinner at his parents' house, and that his mother had talked him into trying it a couple of times, but that he had no intention of trying it again.
So even in Sweden
Not many are eatin'
This scary dish
Of lye-soaked fish.
