Winter --Lutefisk......mmmmmmmm... NOT!

"Lutefisk is cod that has been dried in a lye solution. It looks like
the desiccated cadavers of squirrels run over by trucks, but after it
is soaked and reconstituted and the lye is washed out and it’s cooked,
it looks more fish-related, though with lutefisk, the window of
success is small. It can be tasty, but the statistics aren’t on your
side. It is the hereditary delicacy of Swedes and Norwegians who serve
it around the holidays, in memory of their ancestors, who ate it
because they were poor. Most lutefisk is not edible by normal people.
It is reminiscent of the afterbirth of a dog or the world’s largest
chunk of phlegm." --- Garrison Keillor

Oh, sorry, have some haggis then.
Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish.
There are many recipes, most of which have in common the following
ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with
onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and
traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately three
hours.
Haggis is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties" (Scots: swede,
yellow turnip or rutabaga and potatoes, boiled and mashed separately)
and a "dram" (i.e. a glass of Scotch whisky), especially as the main
course of a Burns supper. However it is also often eaten with other
accompaniments, or served with a Whisky-based sauce.

On second thought, just bring me a single malt.
