Lobscouse has its origins in Norwegian lapskaus, a dish of fish and vegetables brought to our shores by Norwegian Vikings, fishermen and traders. It then underwent a transformation where the fish was replaced by mutton, and now in modern times, lamb. Lobscouse is a very simple and uncomplicated dish, and it loses authenticity when you start to add more exotic ingredients and use complicated cooking processes. There should be no garlic in lobscouse. Keep it simple! The use of lamb and leeks identifies it as Welsh lobscouse. Liverpudlian scouse soup is a close cousin, usually prepared using beef. Liverpudlian scouse is often served with pickled red cabbage or pickled beetroot as a garnish.
