In all reality though, lutefisk is the ickiest of the icky in traditional Scandanavian dishes. Thankfully, my heritage is mostly german, so I haven’t had to partake in a yearly slathering of the jellied fish, but I’ve had more than my stomach’s limit on a few occasions.

I know I’ve been on a pre-fall craving frenzy, but this is one of the few holiday-ish things I don’t like nor look forward to. Here’s a pic:

Edited to add: This picture actually makes it look…good. Look at it glistening on that plate, almost looks like a dessert. Well its not. Do not be fooled by this photo. Darn.
