Lutefisk Beer *NOT A JOKE!!!!*

[CreamyGoodness]

Lutefisk might be even better than a salmon to hit DougK with...

One more Garrison Keillor comment (Paraphrased): "When we were children, our parents would try to get us to eat the lutefisk by telling us to 'just try a little.' Well trying a little lutefisk is like vomiting a little. It's just as bad as a lot."

My mother always made it sound like fish snot (gelatin) that smelled like rotten skunk. Mind you, it doesn't just smell like rotten skunk the day it's served. It's a two week process: 6 days soaked in water, 2 days soaked in lye, 6 more days soaked in water.

Raw fish sitting in water and lye on your counter for two weeks before cooking.

Yum.

"Lutefisk is cod that has been dried in a lye solution. It looks like the desiccated cadavers of squirrels run over by trucks, but after it is soaked and reconstituted and the lye is washed out and it's cooked, it looks more fish-related, though with lutefisk, the window of success is small. It can be tasty, but the statistics aren't on your side. It is the hereditary delicacy of Swedes and Norwegians who serve it around the holidays, in memory of their ancestors, who ate it because they were poor. Most lutefisk is not edible by normal people. It is reminiscent of the afterbirth of a dog or the world's largest chunk of phlegm." - Garrisson Keillor

"Well, we tried the lutefisk trick and the raccoons went away, but now we've got a family of Norwegians living under our house!"

"When Lutefisk is Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Lutefisk!"

Dear R2D2, that is some classic effing sh!t.

I grew up on the North Dakota/Minnesota bodrer. It doesn't get any more norske than that. I've always had a secret desire to try lutefisk, but have not actually gone through with it. Growing up, I worked at a country club that had "Scandi night." It was Lutefisk and blood sausage abound. It was the most popular night of the year. Smelled like ass but people swore by it. One of these days....

What is the grossest possible beer?

Any beer fermented with Candida albicans:

BTW, lutefisk ain't bad when properly prepared. When done traditionally, it's fishy, dripping with butter & you have to chew carefully to avoid bones; but it's not as bad as some make it out to be. I eat it once a year, every year.

Is that the same part of the world where a goat epiglotis is stuffed with rice and sheep testicles and boiled in Kurt Cobain's Old flannel shirt?

I see what you did there! Pretty clever.
