And, it will free up a spot on the shelf in the pantry.Don't think of it as being lazy, you are just saving your energy for more difficult chores that require vast amounts of effort.

You realize Carol that there are some folks who think sweet 'taters and marshmallows grow together. I don't want to disillusion them.
I've seen you eat fish that wasn't cooked. For some values of raw, smoked salmon and pickled herring are raw.
I'm not a fan of sashimi either. I have no problem with eating it. I just find it too bland.
Yeah, yeah, I can add some flavour. Still much prefer gravad or cold smoked.Mix some wasabi. Take some of the wasabi and add it to your soy sauce. Use your chop sticks to pick up a bit of sashimi and a bit of wasabi infused soy sauce, and eat that.
I can still taste the salmon but it's very spicy witht he wasabi and soy sauce. You pick how spicy you want it by the amount of wasabi you use.
Our local HyVee now has a sushi/sashimi bar, have been wanting to try some, but since we're not located anywhere near an ocean, I'm a bit skittish.
If it is frozen on the fishing boat, it's fresher than the stuff brought to port. Ask if it's made from frozen fish. That kills parasites too.
We have lots of sushi bars in town, they get their's in fresh frozen. I'm still looking for the best price per piece...get tired of going by myself...
Lutefisk is also tasteless except for the drawn butter. Ever notice how Norsk food tends toward white and bland? Although I love Norsk baked goods: jule kake, sandbakkel, lefsa, rosettes, etc. I make all of it for the holidays. And smoked chubs are wonderful, but I hate pulling off the heads. I don't like food looking at me!
Sweet potatoes and/or yams mixed with marshmallows seems so gross to me that I've sometimes convinced other people to cook something else if I'm invited, or let me bring the yams.
Yams are already sweet. No need to add candy to them.
You have be Scandinavian or have Scandinavian roots or live where there are Scandinavians. Not far from where my parents live there is a lefse factory. Around Christmastime, the local Sons of Norway hosts a lutefisk dinner. You can buy lutefisk in the local grocery stores and at the Locker Plant. The local bakeries sell the baked goods mentioned. And, all the restaurants with salad bars have at least one kind of pickled herring on the salad bar year around. I learned how to make the various Christmas baked goods from my grandmother who was 100% Swedish. But I never developed a taste for lutefisk. The lutefisk I tasted was definitely not tasteless and the texture left a lot to be desired.I have never even heard of these foods, except for chubs. I heard of them but don't really know what they are. I would not want to be pulling the head off of anything.

Is the area particularly of Norwegian descent, as opposed to Scandinavian?My college mascot was the Norsemen ( now to be PC it is the Norsk). My home church always has a Christmas Norwegian supper: boiled potatoes, meatballs, fruit soup and all the lefsa one can eat! I love making lefsa. Our family rices boiled potatoes rather than using mashed. However, I can't stand picked herring. But then I'm only 1/8 Norwegian descent! Lol. Not enough Olson fisherman blood in these veins...
We start with mashed potatoes (cold from the day before) that we then push through the ricer. I must admit, it is the only time I ever think to use my ricer. I do use my lefse grill and stick when I make tortillas. When I was in high school, pickled herring, coleslaw, and gherkins were "road food" when we went to ND to go shopping. I love pickled herring but won't eat it if the jar/container has been opened and been sitting in the fridge more than 12 hours.My college mascot was the Norsemen ( now to be PC it is the Norsk).
