well I see all 3 of you lutefisk eaters have found each other…..
head to the Willmar area.. they love that shi7 there.
Yeah. We had never seen a circus like the one that accompanied the annual Lutefisk feed at Trinity Luthern in little ol’ Cyrus, MN. In the 1980s the annual feed transformed downtown Cyrus into a kind of Scandinavian version of Mardi Gras.
Because my father held a position in the community where he needed to see/be seen, we attended every year even though we are neither of Scandinavian descent nor Lutheran. It was a sight to behold all right.
I clearly recall my first visit. Beyond the overpowering, ummm, aroma, I recall one of the church ladies sternly cautioning my father NOT to sit next to Norbert Johnson, because, as she put it, “He splatters.”
That’s all we needed to know. We did watch from a safe distance as ol’ Norbert laid waste to 5 giant helpings in an epic display of intestinal fortitude that, I think, shall never be equaled.
