OMG! Yes, sad to say I have. When growing up in the Mid West, my Norwegian grandmother would fix it every Christmas. It is the most god awful smelling and taking fish that has ever crossed over my tongue. As a kid, I would rather go play outside in a blizzard:shaking: than have to stay in the house and smell that stuff cooking.
Fortunately for my brother and I, she also made Swedish Meatballs as an alternative.

i have tried it too. i have a friend that lives in norway. how bout lefsa

Garrison Keillor of NPR pretty much says it all on lutefisk:

* Quote from Garrison Keillor's book Pontoon:

"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."

Oh come on Marc, it's not that bad. Cooked right it doesn't tast like much of anything. Lots of butter and you're good to go. The most objectionable part is the texture.

And i love butter!!!! i've eaten tons of it in the past but when it turn'd out runny when my Mother last made it. lets just say i ate some but have'nt eaten it since.

how bout lefsa

I like lefse and would eat it anytime. It has been over 40 years since I have had it. It is basically a potato flat bread. I used to put meatballs inside rolled up lefse and cover with gravy. I did stay away from the resurrected spoiled cod fish though:-&

we have the recipe and stuff to make it which is cool

butter it with cinnamon and sugar rolled up and stuck in the oven for a few is yum:-$

Lutefisk is ok once you get past the smell.Lutefisk,Finnen Haddie,Salted fish is excellent. I stay away from all that because the salt is a killa.
