So it says here!!! ("Scouse" being somebody from Liverpool)

"...the word Scouse was originally a variation of "lobscouse", the name of a traditional dish of Scouse made with lamb stew mixed with hardtack eaten by sailors. The word "lobscouse" may be of Norwegian origin ("lapskaus" in Norwegian)..."

It must have been borrowed into the Nordic languages like so much of English sailor's terminology.

That sites like Answers.com refer to it as a loan from north German is a little strange. The misconception seems to have spread from them. The source of their information seems to be Wikipedia, but the Wikipedia article on Scouse today is better presented.

Should like to know how your mum made her lapskaus!
My grandmother made it with beef, onion, leeks, carrots and potatoes. Simple, but nice. I still make it for myself now and then.

Thanks for bring that up. I haven't heard that word since I lived at home way back when. Actually forgot about it. My mother was an excellent cook and made anything and everything taste great. Labskovs, yes indeed - stew.

I recall a family friend - a genuine Scouser - who just called this Scouse (you have to imagine the thick Liverpudlian accent).
