Hotdog with bread or lompe

Anyway, what's lompe? I first thought it was the way aginor writes 'lump'.
[/QUOTE] A special type of lefse is “lompe”, a small and thin version of lefse witch is rolled around a hot dog, in stead (or together with) the regular hot dog bun. This is the customary way to eat hot dogs in Norway, especially on 17th of May. You wrap your sausage (here he tryes to say wrapp the lompe around the sausage and not the other way around) in them together with ketchup and mustard, and I personally think it’s very strange that lomper is not something that have caught on in other countries. Sausage in a bun is good, and we do have buns in Norway too (very good if you want to put a lot of relish on your sausage), but lompe has a great taste that goes very well together with a sausage.

Lompe is a traditional soft, Norwegian flatbread. Lompe is made out of potato, milk or cream (or sometimes lard) and flour, and cooked on a griddle. Special tools are available for lompe baking, including long wooden turning sticks and special rolling pins with deep grooves.

Flavoring

There are many ways of flavoring lompe/lefse. The most common is adding butter to the lefse and rolling it up. In Norway, this is known as "lompe/lefse-klenning". Other options include adding cinnamon and/or sugar, or spreading jelly or lingonberries upon it. Scandinavian-American variations include rolling it with a thin layer of peanut butter and sugar, with butter and white or brown sugar, with butter and corn syrup, or with ham and eggs. Also quite good with beef, and other savory items like Ribberull and mustard, it is comparable to a thin tortilla. lompe/lefse is a traditional accompaniment to lutefisk, and the fish is often rolled up in the lefse.

Variations

There are significant regional variations in Norway in the way lompe/lefse is made and eaten, but it generally resembles a flatbread, although in many parts of Norway, especially Valdres, it is far thinner.

Tynnlefse (thin lompe/lefse) is a variation made in central Norway. Tynnlefse is rolled up with butter, sugar and cinnamon (or with butter and brown sugar). Tjukklefse or tykklefse (thick lefse) is thicker and often served with coffee as a cake.

Potetlefse (potato lompe/lefse) is often used in place of a hot-dog bun and can be used to roll up sausages. This is also known as pølse med lompe in Norway, lompe being the "smaller-cousin" of the potato lefse. (this is what is in the poll)

Møsbrømlefse is a variation common to Salten district in Nordland in North Norway. Møsbrømmen consists of half water and half the cheese smooth with flour or corn flour to a half thick sauce that greased the cooled lefse. lompe/lefse is ready when møsbrømmen is warm and the butter is melted.^[1]

Okay.
It will be falafels for me, please.

Lefse in the United States

Lefse is a Scandinavian treat that is especially popular around the holidays. Many Scandinavian-Americans eat lefse primarily around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Family members often gather to cook lefse as a group effort because the process is more enjoyable as a traditional holiday activity. This gathering also provides training to younger generations keeping the tradition alive.

The town of Starbuck, Minnesota is the home of the world's largest lefse. In some parts of the United States, including Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Oregon and Washington, lefse is available in grocery stores. Norsland Lefse, a factory in Rushford, Minnesota, produces about a half million rounds of lefse each year

Always in a bun, which I assume qualifies as bread.  Sometimes in crescent rolls.

Hot-dog with matza.

COME AT ME, BRO!

Corn tortillas are made of corn.  Flour tortillas are made of flour. 

Flatbread doesn't belong around hot dogs in my opinion.  I demand a soft yeastiness around my wiener.

Exactly!

Give me a kosher beef hoddog on a plain ole boring bun.  Preferably with chili sauce.  Some things shouldn't be messed with.

Hungarian smoked sausage makes a good hoddog.  Just ask Tony Packo's.

/yes i spelled it "hoddog"
