you always make me laugh our family does it I try not to get there until after it is cooked and I hide my coat because one year we went to midnight mass afterwards and we smelt so bad I felt bad for everyone near us in church

I eat it too but why do you have to soak it in the tub? as oppossed to regular bowl in the kitchen


see we leave it in there for a few days with the faucet on a little bit so the water is constantly changing as it flows in and out. . . we get A LOT so it wouldnt fit into any sink or anything

and dont worry its not actually IN the bathtub its in a baby tub IN the bathtub used JUST for that purpose

nope the salt preserves it

LOL dont worry there are much better traditions than this one. . . when i was younger i didnt realize that my parents would take it OUT of the bathtub when they had to take a shower - they would tease me and tell me that they would just take a shower with it in there and i believed them for the longest time!

OMG, i've never heard of this before.......... i don't eat seafood, and i certainly don't want it in my shower!!!!

i need to ask FH's mom about this. they're portuguese, and they love bacala.....


omg my mom was so mad at me bc i really dont like it, i only eat a tiny piece bc it is a tradition BUT when i go to the portuguese restaurant i will order a HUGE plate of it bc i love the way they make it! my mom was soooo jealous

i don't eat seafood either but i remember selling out of that stuff all the time at the supermarket i worked at. finally asked a customer what you use it for and she said she they would soak it a few days to get the salt out and undry it to cook in a pot in the bathtub IoI
