Why not, Lutefisk????

[Anonymous]

I am very tired of not giving my children the traditional foods of my people just because DH does not have a desire to eat them. My children will eat lutefisk if I want them to dammit. And they will like it.

Ok, fine no one cares about lutefisk. But this weekend, we will have friends over and I will be smoking a pig in the stainless steel smoking pit that I had especially built last summer. Also, I will be making fresh sausage from scratch, with the casings and everything as it is done in the old country. We will drink a lot of beer and dark red wine. My DH will make retching noises the whole time and try to act like he hates it, because he is a German Jew.

But he eats my bacon.

This has nothing to do with your DH's heritage, but that you are married to a child and not a mature adult. If he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to eat it, But making rude noises or comments is childish, at best.

I don't know anyone on the Swedish side of my family that cares for lutefisk. But Swedish sausage? Miss it (my late grandfather would make it). Creamed herring? Love it, as does my DC.

Oh have you ever even smelled lutefisk much less tasted it. It is terrible, horrible and nasty. Also, it is more a Norwegian tradition than Swedish.

Swedes eat it too. It is an acquired smell and taste. And g-papa taught me how to make sausage and his papa before him taught him. I would post a photo but i have hijacked this blog enough for one day.

And DH is not a child but instead a man who I have spoilt like a child about food. Also my MIL is largely to blame for her baby-sons.
