In Ballard (the Scandanavian part of Seattle), they have a Lutefish eating 
contest during their seafood festival in July It's not a pretty site seeing 
a bunch of people on a podium shoving their mouths as fast as they can with 
this gelatinous mess.
For more on this questionable practice, see

Interestingly, of the 3 pages of links I found on Google when I searched 
for Ballard Lutefist contest, none of them risked showing the viewing 
audience a picture of this exercise.
Also, at the bottom of the above article, they mention Minnesota has a 
Lutefisk tossing contest.
OK, here's more for those really wanting to know everything about 
Lutefisk... lots of links to explore
