| For the uninitiated, lutefisk is an infamous Norwegian dish made of dried cod fish soaked in lye. |
| Christmas meal traditions vary by region and may include roast pork, other meat, or lutefisk. |
| We have German bratwurst and beer, we have Scandinavian lefse and lutefisk, we have greens and chitlins. |
| One of the most popular dishes is lutefisk, stockfish softened in a solution of lye. |
| That night I was aboard the Kottur og Stulka preparing lutefisk for 90 burly sailors with fairy tale accents and tattoos of anchors. |
