The question is how did a Welsh meal become associated with an English city (Liverpool).


The word is a shortened form of lobscouse, from the north German Labskaus, which is a similar seafarers' dish. The dish is also known in Norway, where its name is 'lapskaus'.

As a Liverpudlian, born and bred, I am familiar with the German and Norwegian connections but I have never heard of Scouse being described as Welsh.
