As an American of Scandinavian descent.. I've tried Lutefisk once and that was enough for one lifetime... thanks. People who are eager to sample Scandinavian food, try Lefse instead.. it's a little less causetic.. and doesn't jiggle quite as much.

I love lefse, but it has to have goats cheese on it. Nothing else will do.

Butter and Brown Suger... mmmmMmMmmm

I agree it's the only thing I like goat cheese on.

Lefse has got to be my favorite part of my Norwegian heritage. I'm not saying I don't like herring, but lefse with butter and sugar is what it is all about.

I'm Norwegian, born and bred, and well, I can't stand lutefisk for the life of me. See, it didn't take a single drop of aquavite to get that confession! Every once in a while when that wobbling thing of undefined colour can be found on the dinner table, I stick to the potatoes. Maybe with some of the sweet mustard-based sauce. (Meant for the "fisk"; it's not fisk anymore, is it?)
I'd take gammelost (vintage cheese) ahead of lutefisk any time. *LOL*

Not being of scandinavin descent, but having lived here for a generation, I love lutefisk. I feel very deeply that if a creature has been so throughlt mishandles in order to make it edible, it is our duty to try it. Lutefisk is the ultimate yang-food ... food to carry you through the winter.

The jiggly consistency isn't worse than, say, jello. Just think of it as aged fish-flavoured jello served with bacon fat topping and potatoes.
