Home cooked but unusual dinners?

Back in the 70s I had a ladyfriend whose family's traditional Christmas eve supper was something they called oyster stew. It was whole oysters in some sort of white broth. No obvious other ingredients, and no side dishes. I managed to gag down a couple spoonfuls, but that was about it. Her parents were kind of offended that I didn't eat more, but that stuff was really nasty!
I never could stomach anything resembling a Loogie!

I've had oyster stew. I find it rather good and quite tasty. But, then again, I also like Lutefisk.

we like Buffalo Chicken flavor but Buffalo Wings are all bones and skin, and expensive.

We chop up boneless/skinless chicken thighs and sizzle it up with butter and buffalo sauce.

Put a scoop on a wheat taco skin with blue cheese dressing and a hand full of chopped celery.

Same thing as buffalo wings but without the mess, the bones and skin. supper fast too.

Czech Zelnenka; a pork sausage, potatoe, cabbage stew, with a large amount of paprika, and chicken stock. Never had it before, but I saw a video last night. Wife talked me into shredded cabbage over sourkraut for the cabbage part, and we don't normally just have Hungarian style paprika laying around, so it's plain paprika. Also got 1/2# of bacon in it.

We had a lot of people of Norge heritage where I grew up. A nearby town (Summit, SD) had a big Lutefisk dinner fundraiser every year. I liked everything except the lutefisk.

In HS, I dated an exchange student from Bergen. She didn't care for it either!

I only know Jeg elsker deg. Appropriate to say to a wife or girlfriend. My understanding of the pronunciation is more like "Yi elska di" (long i).
