I am a young Norwegian woman, and lefse is that kind of traditional food our grandparents still make and eat, or the people who live at farms on the countryside or in small towns in the mountains of Norway eat. It is very rare that a modern norwegian family makes or eats lefse. But- there are two exeptions from that "rule". Something called Vestlandslefse is incredibly popular, and is sold in most shops throughout the country, in cafees and in gas stations. It is a ready made sweet lefse with cinnamon, butter and icing sugar, folded together in a small package. Tastes SO good! http://orddeling.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/vestlands-lefsa/
And we also have something called Lompe, which ALL norwegians use every time we eat hotdogs, wienerwürst, or sausages- which we do all the time! It is made exactly like lefse, except the lompe has a round shape, and we put ketchup and mustard on the hotdog, and wrap the lompe around. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pølse_med_lompe.jpg

Just thought I'd fill you in on that! :)
