My Norwegian grandmother liked lutefisk (spelling), but I just about gagged when I tried it...so it AIN'T that treat.

My weakness is shortbread and I have a tendency to overdo it a bit. Also eggnog is so addictive with or without the rum.

[Fransisco]

That would be...cognac.

[furrowtickler]

Make a toast during Christmas. I explained what
Skoal is to cott and I'll share it with you:

"Skoal" is a Scandanavian toast, similar to the
customary "Cheers" or "Here's to mud in your
eye" but regularly the ritual is defined by a glass
filled with aqvavit Raised by the hand to shoulder
level, eyes eyeing eyes, the drink is downed in
one swallow.

Aqvavit is a caraway liqueur, foul and death-
proof instead of say, 80-proof. It leaves both
toastees stunned and silent, and with both ears
ringing, and eyes watering, arch enemies submit
to respectful standoff.

Which is why Scandanavians appear blissfully
neutral. Pars
