Hey, it takes less than half a bottle of the stuff to completely disconnect
your taste buds. As a former SIL of a Norwegian farmer I've choked down more
lutefisk than I should have, surviving only by consuming copious amounts of
aquavit *before* eating. I would guess that purpose of pairing Q with it
would be so you could use a potent habanero sauce to burn out the lutefisk
taste. OTOH, a little smoke flavor could only improve the lutefisk (ewww!)
