12 Ounce Mug "Cream of Lutefisk Soup"

12 Ounce Mug "Cream of Lutefisk Soup"
Picked this up for a quarter at a local thrift shop.
Cloquet. MN import shop. I bought a '67 Camaro from Cloquet years ago.... now I have an imported mug from there also.
Mmmmm...... Lutefisk...... :)

For those who aren't familiar with Lutefisk (from Wikipedia):

"For it to become edible, lutefisk must again be soaked in cold water. The first step is soaking it for five to six days, with the water changed daily. The saturated lutefisk is then soaked in an unchanged solution of cold water and lye for an additional two days. The fish swells during this soaking, and its protein content decreases by more than 50 percent, producing a jelly-like consistency.

When this treatment is finished, the fish (saturated with lye) is inedible, having a pH of 11–12. To make the fish edible, a final treatment of yet another four to six days of soaking in cold water (also changed daily) is needed. The lutefisk is then ready to be cooked."

Personally, Lutefisk is one fish I cannot eat. I will stick with Walleye.
Others love it.... at least they say they do :)

Thanks Much for Looking at my Post!
