There's something fishy

As a Bavarian, I'm not competent to edit the article, but I'm sure that Labskaus doesn't contain fish. --Oliver

It doesn't contain, it's served with fish, either rollmops or sardines. --tickle me 16:51, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even as a Bavarian I know that most of the German Lapskaus variants do contain fish. Maikel 19:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, Lapskaus is essentially hardtack and / or potatoes with meat and / or fish, and usually at least onions, all mashed up. Anything else is optional. Maikel 19:22, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geerman labskaus containing fish is a widespread urban legend in Germany. Ask any cook in any northern german town and he/she will confirm that german labskaus does not contain fish but is served together with fish. Foreign readers please do not believe clueless bavarians.--Definitiv (talk) 08:57, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

labskaus from Norway?

is there a similar dish? The labskaus (or something similar) that I usually see as the origin of scouse is most often described as coming from Norway. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Glennh70 (talk • contribs) 16:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

-"Lap" in Norwegian transates to something like "piece" or "chunk" which makes sense to me as the version ive always had has chunks of meat and veg in it. Worth adding perhaps? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.34.34.98 (talk) 11:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Red Flannel Hash

Except for the side dishes, labskaus seems very similar to the New England dish of red flannel hash: diced boiled potatoes, diced cooked beets, diced onions, and chopped corned beef put in a skillet with vegetable oil, then mixed thoroughly and browned. Chopped bacon can also be added and the mixture fried in bacon fat.

- I was also thinking of Hash. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.134.7 (talk) 05:30, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, unmerge

This page was merged without explanation or discussion in June. I have unmerged it, and opened a discussion at the other page. Swanny18 (talk) 15:16, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Swanny18 From the pictures, I think Geman Labskaus and Scandinavian Lobscouse are quite different and the cross-language links are not appropriate (there's a German article on Labskaus, https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labskaus).

But there's no fish *in* German Labskaus, so that should be fixed in the English version, as well as the cross-language references on both sides. MueWi (talk) 00:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scouse (food)

There is more on the etymology of the word in the Scouse (food) article, in case anyone cares to import salient parts of that, and sources? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
