Lily and the Lutfisk
This is a true story from my childhood. Christmas celebration was filled with Scandinavian tradition, which included lutfisk, a dried codfish that is rehydrated in lye and a series of rinse water soakings. We all had to have at least one taste of that fish before we were excused from the table to begin the ceremony of opening gifts. I always dreaded that taste. This rhyming story tells of my experience with lutfisk one Christmas Eve. Lutfisk is a celebrated food of Christmas Eve Smorgasbord feasts, but I avoid consuming it.
