Lutefisk..

Just yanking yer chain..Had it last week. How the hell Scandanavians eat it is a mystery

I may be of Scandanavian descent, but I can't eat it either. I liked this little story about it:

What pisses me off is how he has the time to post a whole lot of absolutely nothing.

Genre...Seinfeld.

That's what drove the Norwegians crazy - and caused many a lad to go a-viking!

Same thing with haggis, the Scots ate that before major battles. After that, there was nothing that could scare them!

So Tom, how does a post complaining about the lack of value in a few posts by Bjorn add to the life experience of the rest of us? Are you being an iron?

Genre: Spider Robinson

Merry Christmas, Tom! See you next year!

Lutefisk..

Nasty stinky stuff. After 14 years in Europe I've seen, smelled and tasted many other countries "wierd stuff". Every country in Europe has their fair share of wierd, stinky stuff to put on the table at dinner time. Particularly on special occasions and holidays.

But one must play along and eat, and enjoy. One has no choice while in the country.

Great stories about the stuff! I too ventured in to the smelly stuff as my brothers wife's stepfather crammed it down our throat one year....

I always enjoy going to Dim Sum and watching the servers faces as this round eye slaps some bovine entrails on the table!

haha, 1st , I HATE Lutefisk....cant stand it , my parents tried to force it in me as a kid....Lye fish, who`d eat that? Nowegieans?? Hansi??...LOL...I think they invented it , anyway ,the old Vikings used the lye as preservative and used it on Cod mostly....

So, NO TOM , thats not my problem...lol

2)Boss has not been bad to me ,3) wife is still here (not sure if thats a good thing...LOL)

Texas sun??? maybe... but I like what that does....
and I`m not a big Seinfeld fan either...maybe its the "competition"?

but I dont post on more that 2 boards...here and PY, but the time I have to do it? hmmm 2 things , forst , my nickname in the arch field is "rocket arm", being fast...leaves me some time left over...plus its great being the boss (of my dept)...

Merry Christmas to You, Tom !

'now Lutefisk, I`ve eaten, even though I hate it with a passion... BUT talk about WEIRD stuff/Food...the Nrthern Swedish "Sour Herring" = rotten fish... now THAT smells, it smells for MILES! horrible stuff...
luckily there`s akvavit , swallow a few shots and you`ll forget the smell... maybe thats why they invented akvavit? LOL

I think Bjorn is liking this post top much. Wait, time out....are you saying you have other friends besides us :-(

If you guys think that Lutefisk, have you ever had vegemite which is huge in Australia and New Zeland

Vegemite sandwich? (Men At Work).

You're showing your age, Jim. LOL

Not too bad if I can still remember the lyrics, right?

LOL, that's right, my friend

Now Jim, that smiley would not be indicating that you occasionally partake in the gift that mother nature has given us?

Now Tim, if that were the case, how would I still remember lyrics from the seventies?

Well, considering it was the 80's that it came out, I'm not so sure...

Sorry 82. But I bet they were writing about the late 70's.

I'm of Irish/English/Native American descent. English roots (mother's side) trace back to 1600 jolly ol england, with 3rd and 4th generataion immigrant. The N/A also mother's side--I guess--traces back 10k years or so. (My other realitives were responsible for the largest genocide known in history, so it's kind of hard to do homework on the externinated roots in my line.)

Irish roots, on my father's side, I'm 7th generation native born American, with my g/g/g/g/grandfather relocating from Novia scotia to the upper coast of Maine in 1755. There, he was a shipwright and a fisherman. In fact, I would have been a 7th generation lobsterman, rather than a recreational meat-hunting fisherman, had not my father threw in the towel and persured weapons design for the Army.

What I eat? Seafood, almost exclusivly! It's genetically programed in me, and it's genetically programed into may daughter. I guess my grandbaby will suffer the same. I told my daughter not to fee that baby any crabmeat or fish because it will spark the primal desire.

Maybe he is partaking!?

Found seeds from the 60's in his Bird & revived them, maybe

Cat, you wouldn't be talkin bout that long haired hippy sh__, would ya?


LOL

Plenty up here in BC, Bud!

Still can't remember where I hid it !

What kind of long hair hippy s*** you talkin?

YEAH, BABY!!!!!!!!!!! That'd probably be it.lol

That pic is from the 90's so I aint that far gone.... Or, I am that far gone....Depending how you see it.... LOL

yeah, mine's from last year. Got it cut off & growin' it back now. Guess I am that far gone??? The hippy in me just won't go away, or is it the redneck hillbilly?

I cut mine when it starts getting caught in the creeper wheels. Yowch!

Grow it back & I'll mail ya some hair ties, no shipping cost required. LOL

You guys are scaring me! I prefer the "top down" look to go with my car - in fact, some would say that's what caused it, driving too fast with the top down!

Yeah, I'm jealous! My on-the-job hazards would be lessened by some protective covering on the upper extremities - I hate the little gouges from lightly grazing protruding car and hoist parts! At the very least hair helps with clotting and hides the scars!

My hair has been this long for 30 years +, Never cut It just seems to stay the same.

This thread is now officially deemed, "HiJack of the Survivor Long Hairs!". Long live the long hairs! Subtitled, "Smoke em if you got em!"
This includes tires.

Preach on, Brother Jim! I was saying something to my wife about the major hijacking going on here.

hey, i'm 29 and knew exactly what you were talking about with the lyrics. as for the original topic, why anybody would still want to eat something prepared in a manner from before refrigeration is beyond me. there are to many good things to eat and drink than to try and eat survival food for recreation. Funny, i've been considering not going to the barber. Looks like i'd fit right in.
