Jill, that lutefisk is powerful stuff. One of my neighbors recently had a problem with raccoons that had taken up residence under his front porch and would not leave. Another neighbor suggested placing lutefisk under the porch until the raccoons were driven out. I asked him a few days later how it was going and he replied: " the raccoons left within a day but now I can't get rid of the swedes and norwegans down there."

I lived in a Swedish area of Wisconsin. Yes, I can well believe the story. Lutefisk and Lingonberries.
