I love lutefisk. I have very fond memories of big lutefisk feeds when I was a kid. My dad's Lions Club put them on, and senior citizens of Scandanavian descent came by the busload full from Ballard to get it. Yes, it's an odd food. Yes, it takes some getting used to. Yes, it's more like eating fish jello. But I still think it's yummy, and people still think I'm weird. I think it's a good tradeoff.
As for the show Bizarre Foods--I'll probably watch it again next Monday. It's a good lead-in to Anthony Bourdain at 10pm, though I was disappointed that this week's No Reservations was one I'd already seen several times, being that it was all about the Pacific Northwest. That balut on Bizarre Foods looked interesting.
Has anyone here ever had a balut? Do they really eat it as much as the show said Filipinos do? I'm curious.
