It's Christmas in Minnesota and some of my native born players are enjoying their lutefisk socials up here. Being from Spokane we didn't eat a bunch of that. Anyone else ever try this crap?

I have shied away as many don't speak fondly of it, and I don't know that I am confident enough to eat something I prepared with lye. I do suppose I would have to try it were someone to prepare it, though.

My wife is a native Minnesotan….her family always eat Lutefisk over Christmas…..interesting story, during an episode of Andrew Zimmerman’s Bizarre Foods he was profiling the bizarre foods of Minnesota. One of his segments he went to my wife’s hometown (population 288) and had lutefisk while sitting between my wife’s two great-great Aunts….

And yes I have tried Lutefisk…all the Tony’s and hot sauce in the world couldn’t help the taste of that dish..yikes!
The best description I can give of the dish is that it tastes like “warm fish Jell-O”

I love me some Minnesota Hot Dishes but I too shy away from the Norselandic cuisines

Uff da! (as they used to say in North Dakota)
Make sure you have the Lefse with it. Can't say I was real fond of the Lutefisk. They also liked pickled Herring as I recall.
