Finnish kaska may simply be a mis-ananlysis of Sw. björk-aska, birch-
ashes, an important product for making detergents and for the lutfisk,
the most chemically-basic food on the planet which is specially popular
in Sweden Finland Norway on the Christmas table as a counterpoise to
all the fat in other plates.
