Lutefisk, acorns, who's counting?

The former mayor of Nice publicized this as a method of soaking salt
cod. I like this part... even when the mayor was not at home in the
Hotel Municipal, or whatever you'd call such a place, the oldest and
most trusted servant, the majordomo, had instructions to go in and flush
the master's toilet ten times a day.

As for acorns, I suppose it might sort of defeat the purpose, but you
can buy pre-leeched acorns, peeled and soaked free of tannins and other
objectionable chemicals, at good Korean groceries. I haven't been able
to find out what people do with them.
