CZ, if your Hard No is in reference to Brent's bratwurst suggestion, let me add my agreement 100%. No offense Brent, but blueberries and wild rice just does NOT fit into my idea of a bratwurst!! But, of course, to each his or her own!!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!
That's fine with me. But like lutefisk, don't knock it till you've tried it.
I have tried it. And.......I do not care for it. But again, to each his own. Is Lutefisk part of your heritage Brent or do you simply like it? What is that, Norwegian? I worked with a guy that said he had grown up with it in Minnesota (or Michigan??) and he convinced me to try it. After I did is when he said he forgot to mention that he had hated it all his life!!! Hey, what are friends for?!?!?!
A little of both, and I also spent a year in Norge at a postdoc. But lutefisk has always been a family tradition, though I'm the last to carry it on. Just good memories of good times, and it is so mild what's not to like?
That said, there are lots of ways to make lutefisk, and I would probably not like all of them. My Swedish grandfather baked it and then smothered it in white gravy which I did not find appealing. My Danish/Norwegian grandfather like it boiled (Norwegians seems to boil everything), then mix with mashed potatoes, butter, salt and then load up a piece of lefse like it was a super burro tortilla. That is my preference.
