fiat bread, prim ost, peas and cof-
fee. Lutefisk is the common cod
fish, dried, To prepare it for cook
ing it is thoroughly soaked in lye

this condition the cooking is quick
and simple. Other dishes that are
peculiarly Scandinavian go back
into the dim antiquity Of the race.
The meat balls differ from ordin-
ary sausage in that they are high

is held together with eggs and SER
we'd with rich gravy. The potatoes.
are steamed, mixed with lutefisk
and seasoned with melted butter.

is a pastry in the : figure eight
shape, similar to cookies; fattig-

principally of eggs and cream, and
is a delicacy opposite to what its
name implies. Prim 0st is made
from skim milk, boiled down and
is sweet tasting cheese. Due to
the fact that Christmas is the
highest festival season among the
Scandinavians, the choicest culin-
ary art developed in the ages past
was brought forth and combined
with the Iutefisk to make a feast
during the julie season.
