So, Never really got around to posting this, but the traditional Christmas banquet or feast is hosted by the department every year. It is a smorgasbord of food. They recommended you eat the dinner in 7 courses. Course 1 should be the "fish" and snaps. So, there were over 20 types of herring. I tried about 17 and liked 1. Next course should be the salmon (with more snaps or now beer/wine). Course 3 is the bear, roe deer, moose, wild boar etc. sausages. Course 4 is the hot dishes Course 5 is potatoes, bread, mustards and ham type meats. (more beer) Course 6 is the Dessert but thats different than Course 7 is also desert the cheese and other Christmas candies. So, really its fish, meat, more meat, bread, hot dishes and uhhh chocolate!

| There is Lutfisk on my plate...thats the part with the peas on it. |
the lutfisk was not stinky, it was not good, it had no flavor, it was not as thought. Lutefisk is made from dried whitefish (normally cod in Norway, but ling is also used) prepared with lye in a sequence of particular treatments. The watering steps of these treatments differ slightly for salted/dried whitefish because of its high salt content. The only flavor came with the sauce and spiced pepper they provided. Not as cool as I thought.
