Unfortunately I am not having any lutfisk this year. The rest of the family
is not very fond of it. I like it with white sause, mustard and green peas.
In Sweden lutfisk is usually made from dried l?nga (ling?).
Never had the pleassure of having a selenium rectifier fail so I can't
compare. My personal view is that the smell of cooking lutfisk is not that
bad. The rest of the family disagree..
Surstr?mming is a whole different matter in terms of smell. As far as I
understand this is a summer thing. Nothing you have for christmas. One need
some heat to make it ferment I guess. I have tested it once back when in
university, in the summertime on a small island in the archipelego. The guy
that oppened the can did so on the other end of the island. My remebrance
was that it was ok with onion and potato in a bread. But there were plenty
of alcohol involved so the memories are a bit fuzzy...

It is more like a late august,september tradition (or in summer together
with the season potatoes, onion and bread.)
the sale of this year surstr?mming was until 1998 legally delayed until
the third thursday in august (the herring is fished in early spring
april-may.)

Neither are selenium rectifiers a Christmas tradition--at least not in
any society that I know of.
Just trying to throw a little aroma into the mix. I suppose one could
also add durian for a memorably odoriferous experience.

My family has a tradition of Doppa i Grytan on Christmas Eve. I think the
awesome smell of the fresh rye bread cancels out any burning rectifiers
or durian fruit by a long shot ;-)
