110. One of my great-uncles, whose wife was Swedish, described

lutefisk as tasting like "warm snot."

I was spared lutefisk, because my father, the son of Norwegian immigrants, was forced to eat it, hated it, and was determined never to inflict it on his children.

However, the women at our church put on an annual lutefisk supper in December, and masochistic Scandinavian-Americans came from the whole Twin Cities metro area to attend it.

I later learned that modern-day Norwegians think of lutefisk as roughly equivalent to hard tack and salt pork, strictly peasant food.
