Norwegians having a culinaric heritage such as sheeps head and salted herring, maybe it isn't so strange.
JLNobody wrote:Not to be ethnocentric, Cyracuz, but it does not surprise me that a Norwegian would be quick to put a negative slant on food discussions. An Italian could never do that. For him/her food is the root of all virtue.
I'm half Norwegian. (RexRed = Eric the Red) Meatloaf is for wimps, how about some steak! A hearty conversation needs some real meat, not baked ground chuck!
Nice to meet half a fellow countryman Rex. Always a pleasure.
Steak you say? Count me in.
And it seems I was wrong about food being bad for discussion, because here we are at it again

A thousand thanks! :wink:

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Well, Dys, it appears you (and I) have not reallly changed the subject.

That took nearly all of my culinary knowledge of the Bible to muster.
What's the most common dish in the bible? Bread and wine?
Add some cheese and we've got a party.

Some fish can make a meal real satisfying.
Sure. But not dried herring. :wink:

I actually prefer dried and salted haddock myself...
Better than beef jerky.
For me, dried herring, sardines (with mustard), bread, cheese and red wine is a feast. Toss in some smoked salmon and sliced fruit and it's heaven. Then, if you add dancing girls....

Had to look up haddock, and incidentally there was something about that fish according to wikipedia...
"The haddock is easily recognised by a black lateral line running along its white side, ... and a distinctive dark blotch above the pectoral fin, often described as a "thumbprint" or even the "Devil's thumbprint" or "St. Peter's mark".
Seems there are both good and evil haddocks. Dilemma, do we eat the good ones or the bad?

Haddock is by far the best eating fish.

I guess the point of this post is that people are people. We have had conquerors on both sides of the fence.
Maybe it is time to refect upon the peace that these conquerors dreamed of and not the wars they fought.
If people are hell bent upon war with their peaceful neighbor then they are already conquered.
They are conquered by lust for terror instead of being conquerors of terror.
Ro 8:37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

This reminds me of Gandhi. He demonstrated the futility of violence against an adversary that knows the power of true pacifism.
