” The 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World “ # 4

#4. Lutefisk

From: Norway.

What the hell is it?

Ahhh, Lutefisk. After the larvae-ridden cheese, it’s a blessed relief to sample a clean, down-to-earth Scandinavian recipe.
A little too clean.
Lutefisk is a traditional Norwegian dish featuring cod that has been steeped for many days in a solution of lye, until its flesh is caustic enough to dissolve silver cutlery.
Wait, it gets worse …
For those of you who don’t know, lye (potassium hydroxide/sodium hydroxide) is a powerful industrial chemical used for cleaning drains, killing plants, de-budding cow horns, powering batteries and manufacturing biodiesel. Contact with lye can cause chemical burns, permanent scarring, blindness or total deliciousness, depending on whether you pour it onto a herring or your own face. Or, so the lutefisk industry would have us believe.

Danger of this turning up in America:
IT’S ALREADY HERE!

It’ true, lutefisk is more popular in the United States than in Norway. What the hell are they doing with it? They’re not eating it are they? Is it because it’ a cheap alternative to colonic irrigation? Seriously, how do you advertise this stuff?

Excerpts from an article by

” What are the real causes for the mounting dissatisfaction in the hospitality industry. “

Dear Friend’s,
for the past few years I have seen a mounting number of members of the
hospitality industry voice a growing dissatisfaction for many aspects of
our industry.
Starting with the rookies,  the apprentices, through the line staff, junior
management, senior management, and owners, as well as the hospitality
industry students and teachers,all seem to be competing who has the most
damaging and negative, sometimes even degrading “facts ” to bring to light
about our once beloved industry .
I encourage you all to shed some facts on the real problems which paint such
a negative picture within our own ranks. Maybe if there would be more
positive, realistic energy and good will instead of all the  loathing and
negative outlook, we could all see a brighter, friendlier and more positive
outlook for our hospitality environment.
