This is the stupidest column the Stranger has ever posted.

@1 Agreed, and there's some stiff competition there.

Gingerbread is better as cake than as cookies, for what it's worth.

Surprised Ned finds fruitcake acceptable.

I liked this column, but I disagree with at least half of it. I love chestnuts and gingerbread. I had never heard of ribbon candy, I had to google it. I think I would hate it if I ever met any.

@1, @2

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought it was pretty stupid.

But since we're at it, you should avoid beer and wine, too, as well as champagne. With all the get-togethers it's too easy to make an ass of yourself with colleagues or with family and of course other people are drinking a lot so you end up on the road endangering yourself and also risking getting stopped at checkpoints and arrested.

There goes five minutes I’ll never get back. The Stranger could use an editor lately. To think the journal that used to publish ECB and still has Mudede also published this clickbait.

Good, homemade eggnog is amazingly excellent.

Hot roasted chestnuts from the stand in front of Uwajimaya, it's a tradition, and eaten hot they are great!

I only have one thing I avoid over the holidays: Picky Eaters

I didn't read the article, but if you could describe my childhood in a single photo, this would be it.

Lies. Pumpkin pie never has flaky crust, it's always a swamp down there, even if you blind baked it first. Just skip the crust.

The filing is delicious and the author is lazy.

This is funny, thank you, we need all the laughs we can get these days. However, roasted chesnuts are yummy. Suet dies sound inedible, why do we feed it to birds?

@7, Mudede's been responsible for a lot of clickbait over the years himself...

15

I feel vaguely upset that someone presumably made money writing this piece.

16

Gosh, author, don't you think you're cute! You are not. Go back to your day job.

Modern Norwegians don't even eat lutefisk. It was peasant, starvation food. If you are here (Norway) during Jule and ask for lutefisk, Norwegians will think you are fuckin' nuts.

18

@17 Isn't lutefisk supposedly soaked in lye?? Why anyone--Norwegian or otherwise---would eat it period is beyond me. That IS fuckin' nuts.


Please wait...
