On the off chance you don’t know the Old Blind Dogs, listen to the clip from track 12here. “Tatties an’ herrin’” were a staple food. One verse they leave out, I found at mudcat.org:

The bold Russian army they said tae their Tsar,
The lads frae the northeast we’ll no face in war.
Ye can cry us all feardies but man we’re no carin’,
Yon lads have been fed upon tatties and herrin’.

Dave: I now know why they cut squid into little rings before cooking. It’s so that you can use them as as powerful elastic bands, or perhaps resilient tires for toy trucks.

I also suspect we’ll soon see an ad for a home fitness machine by Bowflex where the resistance comes from stretching squid rings.

I’ll check out epicurious.com for Lutefisk and sauermagen recipes tonight. The kids have been complaining that their school lunches lack variety.

You tried cooking squid and you think “salt cod” is funny?

I have a theory that each ethnic group loves some dish that most other people wouldn’t touch by remote control from an underground bunker. Lutefisk is in the running, of course, as is sauermagen, but bonnie Scotland concedes tae nae man; she’s got haggis, the “grand chieftain o’ the puddin’ race.”

Me, I prefer shortbread.
