As long as I can remember ( I'm well into my fifties, now ) Christmas dinner means time for lutefisk. At our house, it's served in a white sauce over mashed potatoes, along with swedish meatballs, brown beans in a sweet and sour sauce, and swedish rye bread. For the uninitiated, lutefisk is dried codfish rehydrated by soaking in a lye solution and cooked by poaching in salted water. The end result being what I can only describe as chunks of fish flavored jell-o Mmmm mmmm good.
