Lutfisk is one part of the Scandanavian heritage that made it to the States--mainly in Minnesota and vicinity. It's the subject of many, many jokes among people of Scandanavian decent here. I was raised with it and I do like it, but when my wife and kids tried it--they did taste a fork full--they ordered pizza. I think you have to be born with a special gene to appreciate lutfisk--it's a taste that can't be acquired. Never had it with horseradish cream, but I've had it with white sauce and also done in the oven with brown butter--prefer the white sauce. Lefsa is norske-sort of a Norwegian tortilla made with potatoes, served with butter and jam.

In what way is it a joke? Is it known like surströmming (bad tasting or smelling?). Only some people in Sweden eat lutfisk, often at Christmas eve they do it out of tradition. Well, I do it too! O0
But as you said, I think you have to appreciate natural flavors in order to like it. A pizza is way more easy to eat to some people.

Well this will give you an idea--they spell it Norge style--lutefisk.
And there's loads more--but I like it too, it just a reminder of Christmas at home.
Now surströmming that's really strong--and it's rare these days. I've had it, but I don't even know if you can buy it outside of Minnesota, and I'm not sure they even have it.
