My ancestors were Norwegian. I attended a family reunion a couple years ago that I had that were related to those ancestors (I'm third generation Norwegian). I'm familiar with some of the foods that they eat, and my grandma and I make futtimon every year, and it tastes awesome. My great-grandma also made koompa (I don't know if I spelled it right) and that tasted pretty good at times, except if someone ate it too much. But pretty much, I've grown up eating lots of fish (and I love pickled herring and pickles and stuff; or strong tasting stuff), and I know that my great-great-grandfather came from Norway, and he was a great carpenter; the houses that he built are still standing and being lived in. He lived in Port Townsend, Tacoma, Washington for awhile, and that's where he built the houses and had his children and such.
Its called kompe. In Bergen its called raspeball. What is futtimon? Never heard about that.
And to solve this year old mystery that without a doubt have kept many people awake at night
