Weak lye solutions are sometimes used to make soft pretzels come out the

way people like soft pretzels to be. There's also a

Scandinavian dish called lutefisk that uses lye as a soak for whitefish

before cooking--smells like the north-bound end of a

south-bound bear, but it's considered a delicacy.
