Tjukklefse or tykklefse (thick lefse) is thicker, and again often served over coffee as a cake. I've only had the thin kind of lefse. "over coffee" makes it seem as if the lefse is served on top of coffee. I assume that what is meant is "with coffee", correct? Someone too literally-minded might get confused.--RLent 05:48, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pronounciation

I've removed the following from the text:

(pronounced lef-sa)

The word "lefse" is not pronounced with an "a" at the end of it unless you're saying "the lefse", but only in some Norwegian dialects (the standard form in bokmål is "lefsen"). If someone could translate the Norwegian pronounciation into IPA, that would be nice. κаллэмакс 20:51, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Lef-sa is not really phonetically problematic assuming the reader is an English speaker. I suppose lef-sə is a more internationally "safe" alternative. Pjalne 20:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
