Hah! Lutefisk, yet another dish that exists today purely for nostalgia. It would also probably fail every food safety test in existence today if it wasn’t grandfathered in.
For those not in the know, it’s fish preserved in lye, which is an extremely toxic substance. Preparing the dish involves cooking it for long enough to fully neutralise the lye, and any failure to fully do so results in poisoning, which can range from mild to extremely serious. I also hate to imagine what byproducts might be left behind as a result of the lye.
Think he refers to rakfisk. Lutefisk is never buried.
And rakfisk is fermented like kimshi, and definitely not eaten out of nostalgia. It’s videly popular in Norway.

Hmm? I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
I mean, pretzels are also made with Lye.
