I saw the sheep and cabbage, and I was expecting more of a stew, but all the pics looks like meat cut a minimum amount to fit in the pot with a quartered cabbage head tossed in. I mean, I’m sure I’d still like it as I like lamb (never found mutton here) and cabbage, but they don’t really seem to have gone for any kind of enticing presentation.
The lye part of the lutefisk doesn’t turn me off so much, but the descriptions calling it jelly-like don’t make my mouth water. Especially as it has the bones still in it if I recall correctly.
Whale has always intrigued me, but I feel I’ve heard more bad than good about the taste, plus I’d probably feel really bad about trying it.
It is literally just sheep and cabbage in layers in a big pot boiled with whole black peppercorns until your whole neighbourhood smells like farts. Served as a slop in a soup bowl.
The lutefisk is jelly like, doesn’t always have bones and the taste is a bit weird since it’s very base-y (as opposed to acidic Wich is more prevalent in most foods). it is also served with a bunch of different condiments and sides depending on where in the country you are. My favorites are: side of mashed peas and boiled potatoes, on the fish i put bacon bits and it’s liquid fat, some brown cheese, and syrup.
These two are actually in my top ten dishes and I’d be down to have them whenever, but it’s generally sheep/cabbage in lamb season, and lutefisk is a Christmas dish.
Whale is like having a steak, but the cow only ate fish for its whole life. It’s not great but it’s also not terrible in an interesting way.
