What do lutefisk and sausage have in common? Both are steeped in preservation traditions and carry rich cultural stories. In this episode, Nels Thompson shares the Scandinavian tradition of lutefisk at Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities, while the Kramarczuk family continues to preserve their Ukrainian heritage through their famous sausages at Kramarczuk Sausage Company. These preserved foods, created for survival, reveal unexpected cross-cultural connections that span generations.

In "Relish", a food and culture series from Twin Cities PBS, Chef Yia Vang uses food to forge unexpected connections with other local chefs, food artisans and anyone who would describe themselves as "epicurious." With humor and curiosity, Chef Vang invites viewers into kitchens, markets and even a canoe, where chefs share dishes and ingredients with deep personal and cultural ties, offering a flavorful exploration of tradition and identity.
