On November 4, 1933, Torske
Klubben held its first meeting at the Curtis Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.
Twenty four persons attended that first meeting and although the size of the
membership has changed and the meeting place has changed, all else remains
essentially the same. Torske cooked the same way it was sixty five years ago,
a boiled potato, and aquavit comprise the main luncheon fare. Their web site
has a list of all Norwegian farms as of 1801. They also have geneaolgy links.
