[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3701705, member: 46636"] When I was growing up on New Year’s Eve we would have a bunch of traditional Swedish type foods. My father’s mother was Swedish. I gather this was a tradition when my father grew up. We lived in N.E. Kansas and my father would go to Kansas City where there was a Swedish grocery store and purchase Swedish type foods. Here is a partial list of the foods we would have New Year’s Eve. I don’t recall all the foods. [B]Lutefisk[/B] – a nasty fish that is preserved in lye and has to be soaked in fresh water to re-hydrate, then cooked in a cream type sauce. ( I never acquired a taste for – nasty) [B]Pickled Herring - [/B]Creamed and Pickled [B]Smoked Whitefish - [/B]Actually fairly yummy [B]Seasoned Rye Crisp Crackers or Rye Hard Tack Various Cheeses Potato Sausage Swedish Meat Balls Lingonberry sauce – [/B]much like cranberries, but smaller. [B]Various Pastries – [/B]my mother baked them from my father’s mother’s recipes. I’m sure there were a few other items I don’t remember. We snacked all night. The following morning my father would make Swedish pancakes with Lingonberry sauce and powdered sugar. My wife is an Okie and we have to have black-eyed peas every New Year’s eve. (To me, about as nasty as Lutefisk) I am forced to eat at least a spoonful. :) [B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
