Does anyone know a place in or around Ottawa where one can get gjetost (a sweet Norwegian cheese) or lefse (a kind of flat potato bread I think)? I hope I've spelled those right, I've only experienced them once :) My wife used to be able to get these things out in Saskatchewan, but she hasn't had any luck finding them here.
Thanks!
UPDATE: good timing, we just found some gjetost at the Ottawa Bagel Shoppe. Still looking for lefse though :)
You can get mail-order lefse but it is NEVER as good as fresh warm home made lefse! My sister found some frozen lefse in a supermarket once which was OK.
Mind you making it can be a long process and makes a terrible mess if you are not careful :)
mmm...food
