Re: Re: Haggis
About 35 years ago I lived in Minneapolis and had many
friends of Norwegian descent. If you think Haggis
sounds bad, try Lutefisk...which literally means lye
fish. It's Cod fish soaked in a lye solution before
cooking. This is a popular treat (?) for many
Scandinavians. Personally, it stinks, and if not
cooked right can turn into a slimy mess... Phew!! The
only good thing about the Lutefish I've tried was the
creamy, rich sauce used to pour over it!. Guess it all
depends on what you're used to ;-)
