I was watching a show today, and there were all these "foreigners"

[Duer 157099]

It was an episode of Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods, and it was filmed in Minnesota.

There were Scandinavians EVERYWHERE!! And on the tables in their restaurants, flags from FOREIGN countries, like Norway and Sweden!!!

I swear, I was waiting for the police to start asking people to show their papers to prove their citizenship!

And I still don't ever want to try lutefisk.

4. Yeah, considering all of the many and varied disgusting things Andrew has eaten

and really, I have seen him eat the worst of the worst of the WORST stuff, and he still cringed at the lutefisk. It must *really* be awful!

5. He did not like it,but he was nice about it in front of people..Recipe below

The first treatment is to soak the stockfish in cold water for five to six days (with the water changed daily). The saturated stockfish is then soaked in an unchanged solution of cold water and lye for an additional two days. The fish swells during this soaking, and its protein content decreases by more than 50 percent, producing its famous jelly-like consistency. When this treatment is finished, the fish (saturated with lye) has a pH value of 11–12 and is therefore caustic. To make the fish edible, a final treatment of yet another four to six days of soaking in cold water (also changed daily) is needed. Eventually, the lutefisk is ready to be cooked.
