Lefse, what do you put on yours

Oh the thought of peeling all those potatoes!

Anybody eat it with the fish - is the fish smoked? cooked? Sounds interesting.

You mean Lutefisk??????????

 

[Slywoody]

Lutefisk is soaked in lye and still served in the basements of Lutheran churches around here. You don't have to be norwegian or swedish either. I'm german and irish and i eat it.

OK Slywoody, I'm only 1/4 norwegian, so I pass on the Lutefisk. You can have my share.

But Lefse with anything sweet- sugar, cinnamon, jam.

Peanut butter is good warm with honey of course.

Lye is an old method of preserving foods as it makes it too alkaline for bacteria to grow. The opposite end of the pH spectrum from high-acid canning. It is washed out before eating. In the case of lutefisk, it is barely edible anyway.

Do you need special equipment? Like the ricer and special rolling pin? Do you have a recipe that you can pass on?
