Lutefisk | TheaterFire

When I was in the military, I had a guy from Wisconsin on my team who regaled us with a vivid description of lutefisk. He hated the stuff, so I never had the pleasure.

Luckily, another soldier was from some swamp in Louisiana, and he brought a bunch of boudin back from leave one time. He didn't tell us what was in it until we'd tried it, but by then we were all in love with it.

I spent a summer in high school in germany. It was about a month in before i asked what the black sausage on the breakfast plate was, and when I learned it was blood sausage it didnt matter.

Lutefisk is also a eat first ask questions later kinda treat.

After eating it, I can strongly agree with one of those claims

My grandpa loved this stuff, but I’ve never had the courage to try it.

Basically if you can get a bite into your mouth without smelling it first, quick chew and the swallow, you've got your best chance of knowing if you'll like it or not.

I've had it a few times, aside from the reprehensible odor, I just don't really care for it. I'm always up for sampling it if someone makes it and wants me to try it, but I wouldn't want to attend a dinner if this was served as one of the primary protein dishes.
