Dumb question, but I'm still asking.
How is the word "lefse" actually pronounced.

lefse Pronunciation: LEFF-suh Notes: This Norwegian flatbread resembles a flour tortilla, only it's made with mashed potatoes. It's used as a wrapper for various sandwich fillings. Dried lefse should be moistened, then heated briefly in a microwave. Substitutes: flour tortilla

Yeah, what drunkatuw said, but it needs updating...mickey3 said:
Assuming the OP is talking about Leffe Blond Abbey Ale, the pronunciation is "Leff-uh"
At least acording to the stuffy, bowtied Flash bartender on the web site www.leffe.com

Good but my preference is warm with butter and cinnamon sugar.
my wife's family (mother's side) is Norwegian immigrants from 3-4 generations ago.
they are making their annual lefse batch this coming Tuesday.
all the SWMBO's gather and make several pounds of the stuff.
I eat a little, and eat it plain. I prefer to get my carbs from a specific source that comes from barley

Visiting my Minnesota GPs right now. Between the lefse and the northern brewer, it's the place to be.
So now we have to brew a batch where we mash mashed potatoes as a starch adjunct with a lot of pilsner malt and maybe some aromatic, fortify it with clear candi sugar, hop with something spicy and noble, and ferment it with a good peppery abbey yeast. 3787 or something.
Ta-da! Lefse Abbey Ale!
