Got lactose intolerance?
The rss feed for Overheard In NYC usually has a fair amount of discussion. A recent OINYC about butter and lactose intolerance caused a little cramping and bloating.

I wondered if

	I can't decide which I want to taste first; lutefisk, surströmming or hákarl o_O (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lutefisk is the only one available here (at least by those names), in small-town Minnesota. (And I'm a transplant, so I only know what stuff is called in the supermarket. I'm the one looking for collard greens and rutabagas.) But no matter what I think of lutefisk, I know it didn't come out of a cow. g (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	From what I've heard, lutefisk comes from hell. As does Evil Manifest. So, if chickens and lutefisk come from the same place, and chickens and cows both produce dairy, thus lutefisk = dairy. See, you're WRONG! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I stand corrected. It is dairy. And evil. And to be avoided by the lactose-intolerant. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm irrationally curious about the cheese and bacon paste you can get in tubes in Norway. (I may have gotten confused about the flavors or country here. But my brains says bacon and Norway.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Perfect for omelettes, I tell ya! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Hákarl tastes like strong cheese to me - not bad, but certainly nowhere near as tasty as skyr :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iceland both intrigues and frightens me. Skyr sounds tasty, though. At least it's not made from poisonous fish. Then again, I was born and raised in Austria, and have been much more accustomed to lethally sugary pastry instead of fish, so what do I know? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have a question - do all Austrians boil the life out of their vegetables, or is it just my grandmother? Since we're talking about food and all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Although I've heard complaints that Austrian food doesn't taste of anything anyway. (an Austrian exile) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irish people have been known to boil the life out of everything. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You're not missing out on the first two, I can tell you... Anyway, surströmming is mostly about the noxious smell, so you can often experience it just by standing near someone while they eat it ;) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Lutefisk is really just jelly that tastes like fish. Eat it with lots of white sauce, peas and potatoes, and you can mostly forget it exists. There is no way to forget surströmming exists once you open the can. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I want to try surströmming (the food that can pretty much be used as an ultimate weapon). But seriously, how does this not look tasty? (Reply to this)(Parent)
