Confession - relating to Archea's Pacific Northwest thread

[HEyHEY]

I grew up in Vancouver and I had never heard of Lutefisk until three weeks ago. What does it have to do with the PN?

[truthspeaker]

1. yeah, I thought that was upper midwest

Lutefisk is a Scandinavian thing.

[m-jean03]

2. lots of Scandinavians here

We are midwest-transplants from Upper MI...My whole extended family.
Seattle once a major destination for Swedish immigrants.

3. The Northwest connection to lutefiske --

Lutefiske: The national dish of Ballard (halibut preserved in lye) and a constant running joke on Stan Boreson's old King's Klubhouse kid's show back in the 50's and 60's.

4. Yeah, if you venture into Ballard, it helps to have a working knowledge

of Norwegian.
