You have obviously never tasted lutefisk and lefse made by an older Norwegian cook! It was very mild. With mashed potatoes spread on lefse, melted butter POURED ALLL OVER and lutefisk wrapped in the warm, homemade lefse , it was marvelous!! Everybody loved it. Since then, I have prepared any white fish the same way. Spread the lefse with the mashed potatoes, place the fish on top and roll it up. Dip the carb heavy creation in melted butter and commence moaning as the butter drips down your hands. In the local churches, they have lutefisk, lefse and meatball dinners all season long. Big fund raiser.
I have had lefse. It was a rolled pastry as I remember it. It was good. I would try the lutefisk now that I’m older but I will reserve judgment until then.
I was a regular at the Sons Of Norway Viking Hall in Anchorage when I was married to a Norwegian. My husband’s aunt made amazing potato lefse and it’s one of my favorite things in the world — smothered with butter. Krumkake, too. Never could do the lutefisk, though.
