Growing up in the 80s In the US lutefisk was a rumor... supposedly it hadn’t been seen since my grandfather last made it when my parents were kids and he’d been banned since then. I asked some friends in Norway and then said theres a joke to the effect that all the real Norwegians moved to Minnesota long ago. In any case, no one they knew had ever had it! I do remember we would make lefse around the holidays... I made it for my kids and they said it tasted like wet newspaper with butter and sugar... Of course they still ate it all.
