May you lutefisk spoil & rot!

Wait....that's what it naturally does.
Drat!
Give me time...I'll think of a real insult.



Lutefisk is actually quite tasty. The proper way to eat it is at a Sons of Norway Hall. That way your own house does not suffer. It is the cooking of that meal that is disgusting. Not the flavor of the fish.

It is quite different from Swedish Surstromming. They don't open that stuff up inside even in Sweden:

And yes, the can is swollen and under great pressure.

No need to hide. In a lutefisk meal they keep bringing it to you until you are full.

Ooh, I edited my prior post. You should check out videos of people eating Surstromming. Those Swedes are nuts!
I've heard of it.
The Swedes invented Surstromming as a more aggressive replacement for Ipecac.
Not to be outdone, the Sardinians developed maggot cheese called "Casu marzu".

Not to be outdone, in mid-winter, the Icelanders celebrate by eating fermented shark. As Anthony Bourdain has said (more or less), of the shark "truly the foulest thing I've ever had in my mouth".

Having partaken of the shark myself, I have to agree with Anthony.

Rotten shark.....how could that go wrong?

There is a variety of pickled fish in all kinds of sauces. I am not sure if this is the same, but it is actually delicious both by itself and on the brown bread that is used in Scandinavia. Now that you talk about food, I sit and want some. :)
