Christmas traditions: steamed bread pudding and wassail.

I forgot to mention Lutefisk is dried white fish (cod) preserved with lye. It is rinsed in water for several days to remove the lye before eating. Phew!

My in laws were Norwegian. I loved most of the Christmas food, but the Lutefisk was unbearable. Oofda! I tried to impress my father in law by eating it. He just laughed at me. He drank a lot of Schmitz beer to wash down the lutefisk! My wife still makes all the goodies (krumkake, prune whip, and lefsa).

Never had the opportunity to try lutefisk but I had a Norwegian friend in Canada who made roll mops every Christmas. They were delicious!
