Lutefisk

[Brother Lindh]

I know that Godly Jesus drank an awful lot of wine, but I wonder if He ate any lutefisk? This time of year, lutefisk becomes abundant and I was thinking about leaving a plate of lutefisk outside where Jesus could find it. Or maybe leave it by the chimney.

Friend, the first recipe for lutefisk was published in 1555. That's only about 1500 years after Jesus, so I doubt he had any fish soaked in soap.

Ah, lutefisk! You must be one of those Norwegianians.

Tell me, do you live near Santa Claus? Any sightings of Him yet?

(It's our Church's policy to not Believe in Santa, but it never hurts to have a second opinion with CHRISTMAS on the way!)

Re: Lutefisk

1. O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, how fragrant your aroma,
O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, you put me in a coma.
You smell so strong, you look like glue,
You taste just like an overshoe,
But lutefisk, come Saturday,
I tink I eat you anyvay

2. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, I put you in the doorvay.
I wanted you to ripen up just like they do in Norvay.
A dog came by and sprinkled you.
I hit him with my overshoe.
O lutefisk, now I suppose
I'll eat you while I hold my nose.

3. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, how well I do remember.
On Christmas Eve how we'd receive our big treat of December.
It wasn't turkey or fried ham.
It wasn't even pickled Spam.
My mother knew there was no risk
In serving buttered lutefisk.

4. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, now everyone discovers
That lutefisk and lefse make Norvegians better lovers.
Now all the world can have a ball.
You're better than that Geritol.
O lutefisk, with brennevin [Norwegian brandy]
You make me feel like Errol Flynn.

5. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, you have a special flavor.
O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, all good Norvegians savor.
That slimy slab we know so well
Identified by ghastly smell.
O Lutefisk, O lutefisk,
Our loyalty won't waver.

Tsk! Gosh Brother Lindh, what am I gonna do with yoooooou, you say the darndest things!

Oh by the way, here's the Norwegian prayer to say before chowing down on that yummmmy lutefisk!

I Jesu Navn
gaar vi til Bords
at Spise og Drikke
Paa Dit Ord;
Dig Gud til Ære
Os til Gavn,
Saa Faar vi Mat [or Mad]
i Jesu Navn,
Amen
