I'll try to explain. Basically, "lefse" is a term that loosely translates to "flatbread". The traditional lefse is made from potatoes, flour, butter, and cream, and it is usually rolled out thin and cooked on a griddle, but the term "lefse" can also refer to other types of flatbreads with different ingredients, made out of different things and with different preparation methods. This also applies to foreign dishes that are flatbreads.
@@luxaeterna365 "loosely translates to" is the key here. Lefse isn't literally "flatbread" , it's lefse. It's just that the closest translation to understand it would be "flatbread". There are lefse which as very thin like a tortilla is and some that are thicker, more pancake-like.
@@Guyatwo-mNo, there is no such thing as a Taco. Taco is a Mexican dish consisting of a Tortilla, which is the Mexican word for Lefse, filled with stuff. So, it is still a Lefse.
In Chinese, any flat food is a 饼 (bing) A pizza is a Pisa bing（披萨饼） A tortilla is called a thin Mexican bing（墨西哥薄饼） Burger patty? Nah that’s a meat bing（汉堡肉饼） Pancakes are called pan fried bing（煎饼） But a nann is called a nann for some reason（馕）
@@thisnthat7760no no, even in Kerala not all rice cakes are called idili. And rice cakes are called various things in India. We have 2-3 different names in Maharashtra for rice cakes. It’s our traditional dish too.
Before I acquired some international culture exposure, I learned the "roti" name when working with several immigrants from India. I still remember one of them saying "Americans don't know how their food feels". I was a little confused but when they explained and brought in rotis with a couple different curries. Some of the most delicious food I've eaten. (and, yes, the each did 'feel' different)

I'm not norwegian, but my father's family very much is. We've only ever called (potato) lefse potetkake (not sure if thats the correct spelling). Everything else we'd use the English word for. When I saw potetkake being sold as potato lefse I was so confused lol. Nice to know that lefse seems to just be a word for flat circular food, I had just assumed it was a regional thing lol.
Size Matters: A potetlefse is always big, it can be Borj paper thin, or up to 3 mm thick, a potetkake is a smaller version of it, usually around 20 cm in diameter, and approximately 2 mm thick, add a little more salt to the batter and make it thinner, and you get Potetlomper (usually used instead of buns for the hotdogs).

There is also a Christmas lefse, that is so good. It's like a sandwich with sugar and cinnamon buttercream! My grandma always made it for Christmas when she was well enough. From northern Norway😊
As a Norwegian lefse is everything for me

This went off world real quick just from a tortia 😂
I'm not norwegian, but my father's family very much is. We've only ever called (potato) lefse potetkake (not sure if thats the correct spelling). Everything else we'd use the English word for. When I saw potetkake being sold as potato lefse I was so confused lol. Nice to know that lefse seems to just be a word for flat circular food, I had just assumed it was a regional thing lol.
Size Matters:
A potetlefse is always big, it can be Borj paper thin, or up to 3 mm thick, a potetkake is a smaller version of it, usually around 20 cm in diameter, and approximately 2 mm thick, add a little more salt to the batter and make it thinner, and you get Potetlomper (usually used instead of buns for the hotdogs).
They are all a type of lefse though, and not all contains potatoes.
Most versatile piece of food ever designed. Plate, fork, spoon, napkin, and delicious.
Same in Turkey, with lavash
Us with our tortillas, sopes, and quesadillas😂
