...for Lefse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else do these up?

FIL caught in the photo, mine is the closer griddle. My wife and MIL ran for the hills when I pulled out the camera. They roll em out, me and Ken cook 'em.

What are they?

[Cat385B]

Cooked potatoes, mixed with cream and butter, rolled into balls. Cooled overnight, and then floured and rolled out into flat rounds. Cooked on a special griddle. I like mine served with butter, cinnamon, and sugar.

I suppose you like Rommegrut and Lutefisk also.

[Bolens 1000]

Never had those before, but they do sound good!

[Cat385B]

Did about 250. We'll be cleaning flour out of the kitchen/dining area for a day, I think.

I luuuuuvvvvvvvvv rommegrot. Especially with corned beef on toasted rye to dip into it.

Lutefisk was first invented as a repellent to keep the Germans on their side of the North Sea.

Rommegrot is pretty much whole milk and flour that has been left out to sour for quite awhile.
I have a Scandinavian friend who says that his grandfather would bring in a bucket of whole milk and set it behind the wood stove in the kitchen for a few days until it got furry on top and then eat the stuff with relish.

Lutefisk is cod that has been left to dry. It could be shipped across the Atlantic to Minnisota with out spoiling(maybe).I've seen photos of it being hauled in a wagon like lumber. When recieved, it was soaked in lye water to reconstitute it. What was left was (reluctantly) eaten.

Why is it that so many of the things that my Swedish Grandmother made tasted great but sound bad? Her Christmas baking was magical. I miss her sill(pickled herring) the most.
