Lobscouse

Uncommon card · No. 179840

Lobscouse, often shortened in some regions to scouse or lobby, is a stew made of meat, potatoes and vegetables common to multiple Northern European maritime countries under similar names. It is particularly well known in a nautical context in the Age of Sail, when a long voyage might require the sailors to eat and drink whatever limited rations were available. Numerous maritime memoirs and naval logbooks refer to the dish, as well as fiction such as Patrick O'Brian's nautical historical novels Aubrey and Maturin. Under the shortened name "scouse" the dish is strongly associated with Liverpool and Merseyside to the point that the local accent is called Scouse.
