Cool. My wife's grandparents on her mother's side were first generation Swedish immigrants. Lulefisk and some sort of potato sausage were standard Christmas fare when they were alive. The Ham sounds much better! Hope you had a great Christmas.Nope - its a traditional Swedish Christmas ham. It is first boiled and then grilled with breadcrumbs in the oven. It is often eaten with mustard on a slice of wort bread. As long as I know we have always make it on the evening before Christmas eve and we always eat it warm on a slice of wort bread this evening. After this - its always served as a cold dish on the Swedish Christmas smorgasbord (julbord).
Lutefisk (swedish lutfisk) its another Swedish/Norwegian tradition and in Sweden we use Molva Molva (common ling). In our family - its only my wife that love that dish.
