What is that stuff that Norwegian people eat, that is like, gelled fish inside a jar?

Either Caviar or Lutefisk.

Not entirely sure, did a wiki search.

It really does sound like "pickled herring" and not Lutefisk, etc. The Norwegians are devoted to it.

Are you sure you're not mistaking Mannishevitz "gefilte fish" which is stuffed pickled fish in a jar favored by Jews for something Norwegian?

Don't tell the Jews, but I bought some "gefilte fish" once and had to throw it away. Perfectly awful tasting. Nothing could improve it except starvation, and even then I'm not sure the body would benefit. I hear that "Lutefisk" needs to be eaten at an early age to acquire a taste for it, as well.

I think it's the inside a jar thing that's confusing.

Lutefisk is the stuff that's been soked in lye (caustic soda!). It is an aquired taste and most people say they like the accompniaments (bacon, peas, etc)

"Lutefisk is not food, it is a weapon of mass destruction. It is currently the only exception for the man who ate everything. Otherwise, I am fairly liberal, I gladly eat worms and insects, but I draw the line on lutefisk."

"What is special with lutefisk?"

"Lutefisk is the Norwegians' attempt at conquering the world. When they discovered that Viking raids didn't give world supremacy, they invented a meal so terrifying, so cruel, that they could scare people to become one's subordinates. And if I'm not terribly wrong, you will be able to do it as well."

"But some people say that they like lutefisk. Do you think they tell the truth?"

"I do not know. Of all food, lutefisk is the only one that I don't take any stand on. I simply cannot decide whether it is nice or disgusting, if the taste is interesting or commonplace. The only thing I know, is that I like bacon, mustard and lefse. Lutefisk is an example of food that almost doesn't taste anything, but is so full of emotions that the taste buds get knocked out."

We have a lot in aspic not only hering. Also eel and a lot of other things like chicken, turkey and cutlet. There are also vegetables and fruits (but then sweet) in aspic.

It just is jellied fish, and many types of fish can be jellied.
