35. I've had lutefisk exactly once in my life

I lucked out, because my dad, who was the son of Norwegian immigrants, absolutely hated it.

I was not impressed with my one experience with lutefisk. The church where my father was pastor actually held an annual lutefisk supper, and people would come from miles around to attend. I went once, and that was enough.

Later, I heard from a Norwegian exchange students that modern Norwegians think of lutefisk as something that impoverished peasants used to eat in the 19th century.
