Or another southern favorite of my husband is buttermilk pie. I think gizzards are gross but I know lots of people just love 'em.

From my side of the family I know about ludefisk (spelling? from Sweden) but I don't eat it - yuck!
I'm 3/4 Norwegian and I won't eat lutefisk either. Double yuck!
I'm 1/2 Swedish, and I won't eat Lutefisk either. Love to make it though! I make it Swedish for my mother (who is full blooded German, but my dad was Swedish) which was mashed potatoes and cream gravy and for my husband who is 1/2 Norwegian, I did his with boiled potatoes, lutefisk on top of the potatoes and melted butter poured over that! Triple Yuck!!!!! I would love to get a recipe for really authentic biscuits and gravy with pork sausage. Edie
