This message is from: "Anneli Sundkvist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Lutfisk", as it is spelled in Swedish, is a traditional christmas dish here too, but I NEVER eat it! Those who do prefer it together with white sauce (bechamel type) and boiled potateos. Another "intresting" food tradition of ours is to soak pieces of dark bread with raisins in the water that the traditional christmas ham has been cocked in. That water has been turned into a very FAT gravy after housing the ham for a couple of hours. This dish (fat-soaked bread) is known as "dopp i grytan". I don't eat that neither. But after all there are nice things on the Scandinavian christmas table (julbord) like gravlax (marinanted salmon), ribs, meatballs, ham and a lot of other stuff. We don't have pinnekjøtt in Sweden. I'm very fond of a Norwegian dried sausage made of sheep meat that is called Trönderfår. I belive I would like pinnekjøtt since I like almost everything that consists dried meat. But now I'm already getting fed up with traditional christmas food and still there's a LOT of ham left! I'm going to transfer some of it into a traditional Swedish/Scandinavian dish called "fläskpankaka" which means porc pancake. We eat that with lingonberryjam.

Lutefisk ... not bad
This message is from: "Catherine Lassesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lutefisk is not bad if it is cooked properly. They serve it at Libby, MT each year and it is good there. (For anyone that would like to try it... who is going to Libby... I think it is on Saturday Night) Tonight... "Jule Bord", Norwegian Buffet... I am racing around to get the table and chairs up. God Jul! Catherine Lassesen

Lutefisk is one of those foods, that as a child I learned to swallow without chewing, along with canned green beans, which were enrobed with gooey mushroom soup. Bleech! Also, Jean have you priced on eBay what they're getting for broken Hagen-Renaker horses. Hmm? Shoud'a kept yours. I was amazed at how much mine have appreciated in value, and I played with mine too. Now I wish I hadn't. Most of mine have repairs, but I do have about four that are unbroken. > >>AAaahh, Lutefisk! >> >>Just think of it as a rich, full-bodied, fish flavored jell-o! >>Smothered in butter and wrapped in lefse, it is a taste to behold! > My husband Jon, wrote that. I can guarantee you we don't eat Lutefisk around this house! It does sell well up here around Christmas time though. Someone even made a Lutefisk TV-type dinner, so all you had to do was heat and eat. I asked the grocer if they ever sold any of them and he replied that they do, to the old loggers and such. One of the churches up here has a Lutefisk dinner (& Ham for those uninitiated palates) that sells out every year. Hey, we could be eating Haggis. Not one of my favorites either. Mary O.

Re: Lutefisk
This message is from: "Denise Delgado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> thanks for the lutefisk site carol. it sounds very similar to the italian salt cod, "baccala," for the spanish, "baccalau." it is a holiday dish in both of these countries also. the cod is salted and dried, no lye. you rinse and change the water for one to two days to rehydrate the fish and get rid of the salt. ( this might be a little gross for some, but i once had an old italian gentleman, and a very fine cook, tell me he hangs the fish in the water tank of the toilet. it saves rinsing and changing the water.) then you sautee onions, garlic, tomatoes and geen peppers, s and p to taste and serve with rice or bread and oil olive. sometimes i add a little saffron if i am doing it the spanish way. very good. out here you can pick up a slab of dried salt cod in most grocery stores. ho ho ho...denise > > Go here ---> http://www.sofn.com/recipes/lutefisk.html > > This will tell you anything you want to know about what lutefisk is...
