Oh, I was thinking of what they serve with lutefisk - combinations never
used in "the old country" ... brunost (a goat milk product) with lutefisk?
Yech. It should be either bacon bits, mashed green peas, in a pinch a white
gravy (NEVER a brown one). I guess there has to be a development and
adjustment to another country and other foodstuffs, but -

A cat breeder named a litter for US cities. I looked up Kaukana, WI and
found that Kaukana means "Far away" in Finnish :-)

Now that is truly a piece of information I don't think it likely I will
ever have use for, but it might be something to remember to use when
conversation kind of stops. O am glad to include it my od stuff file in
my head.

oh, we only got the pickled lutefisk (i think) it was served by itself
and whatever other items were offered buffet style (usually a huge
family reunion of over 100 folks, so who knows what we had! LOL)

nobody is going to do it for me and your right we are all our own machines
so I need to be vigilant to protect mine from harm.
