Originally posted by waterfall Lutefisk is dried cod. Norwegians spread it on racks to dry, after treating it with lye. Before preparing, one must soak them fish in fresh water. Then it is boiled until a lousy excuse for fresh cod is presented. Never liked the stuff, myself. It was a traditional Christmas dinner in my childhood. I prefer fresh cod. But I am an old fart with no respect for Norwegian traditions.
A K3 is possible now that lutefisk season is finished. But do not tell Oscar, my granddad. He flies the Norwegian flag, next to Grandmother's Finnish flag.
Too many things, too little time. My camera is fine, but I lust for a K3.
The lutefisk that we used to have was not made with cod, as far as I know.
Cod was / is a Norwegian preferred fish for the dish, got to like them Vikings, tough sob`s
Speaking of traditional Christmas dishes, I just had some excellent liver-casserole with lingonberries, yumm, good, this past joyous gathering.
And we had scalloped potatoes, to take care of the cheese part
