Sons of Norway

While at the Sons of Norway's Annual Norwegian Dinner, our neighbor told the other guests, "There's only one thing you can't eat too much of and that's lutefisk.  Why, you can eat and eat lutefisk, but you'll never get sick."

Two weeks later she died of the complications of an infection in her intestine.

I asked Linda, who used to go water skiing behind her cousin's boat in the great blue water of the fjords, "do Norwegians eat lutefisk?"

"Norwegians eat rotted fish?" she said, "oh no.  Lutefisk was for the ones who left."
