Hi Ian,
Even though Viking exploration in America predates the Pilgrims and
other settlers, I'll go with the turkey and other accouterments.
Can you imagine celebrating a "Viking" day with lutefisk and glogg?
Me neither!

A peculiar combination... :-) Glögg is mulled spiced red wine, some times
fortified with a liberal dash of brandy or port, and with chopped almonds or
hazelnuts and raisins thrown in - very popular in Sweden at parties in
November and December, much less used in Norway.

Lutefisk..., well it is dried fish that is reconstituted by firstly putting
it in cold water for a few days, changing it a few times, then in water with
lye a couple days, then rinsed thoroughly to remove traces of lye. Then it
is heated (not boiled - no more water is needed) - oven at 180C for
20minutes is good - and served with various accessories. Beer and aquavit
is the preferred drink.
Quite many people in Sweden, Norway and the U.S.(!) love it and deem it fit
for kings. Others hate it. Denmark does not have lutefisk, Finland does
partly (it was a part of Sweden till the 18th century)

Happy Thanksgiving anyone!

this is a great time to grab your most expensive wine and use it with
your friends...

be generous, offer wine!

I always think that a good wine can really make the difference in any
important lunch, more important than food...
