When I was a kid my folks would get a pretty good sized box of dried salted codfish that made darn good SOS gravy. Anybody know where a guy can still find it?

Call some Scandinavian food stores in Seattle (Ballard) they should be able to send some to you; especially at this time of year with Christmas just around the corner.

I'll try that...see if it's as good as it was 50 yrs ago. Some of it may actually be from 50 yrs ago. It doesn't have a maximum shelf life, ya knowa.

SOS was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. I remember the salt cod being a cheaper option than now days, sorta po folk food. I haven't bought any in years now. Used to get these small wooden boxes of it. The box had dovetail corners.

Yes, on toast or bread. Same as SOS. I loved it as a kid. But then I ate what there was, not what I wanted!

So with dried fish? We made it with dried beef. You put it on toast or are talking two different things? Yes, that "Chipped beef on toast" was the original SOS. My biological father used to feed me that. He learned to make it while in the CCC's. I love that stuff as much as codfish gravy......that is what we originally called the codfish stuff. We always (or "alus" as my Grandad said)ate that on toast as well, and after time we just called that SOS too.

I'm assuming we are talking about "lutefisk" here. If so, it is the most disgusting rotten smelling crap I have ever been forced to endure. You don't see it much anymore simply because there are ways of preserving food nowadays without destroying it.
