Great thread. I remember seeing Lutefisk at the smorgasboards in the basement of our Lutheran church as a child. I don't remember ever eating it. I guess if I had eaten it I would remember, wouldn't I? At Christmas, my Mom would put out huge platters of Lefse, krumkake, sandbakkels and rosettes. We'd also have a big pot of rumagrot.

Does anyone else remeber having blod klub? Yet another Norwegian food based on a dare. Three ingredients: blood, flour and side pork. Mixed together and formed into balls and boiled. We would slice it thick and fry in butter. Unlike Lutefisk, it was fantastic. My old friends still talk about my Mom making it.
