Although it does contain either the cheapest cuts of lamb or beef, scouse (lobscouse) would be more properly called by its most predominent ingredient; potato stew. Scouse is an English dish and has no place in Scottish cuisine.
from the person who built Liverpool his name was something scouse. I am a scouser and I have ate scouse once it is just the same as stew. I am 13 and love living in Liverpool! great answer from the lad above but unfortunatley not true. the word "scouse" originates from an old seamans meal probably tracing its past back to the old germanic "labskaus" which was a stew with the cheapest parts of the animal its meat could provide mixed with potatoes and anything else that could be thrown in ( a poormans meal). it became known as "lobscouse" and is known in parts of lancashire and the north of England as "lobby". the meal differs from place to place but was made famous by the liverpudlians who by cause or nature turned it into their traditional dish; hence the word "scouse" and the nickname of "scousers" referring to folk from Liverpool. what the lad above was referring to is a legend that a giant called "john scouse" built Liverpool, sorry lad, this is a bit of our scouse propaganda I'm afraid, would be great if it were true though. scousers are known to be funny hard knocks, so do not mess with them!
No one person came up with it. 'scouse' comes from the Norweigian 'lapskaus', a lamb and vegetable stew, commonly eaten by working-class Liverpudlians. Liverpudlian dialects first became known as a 'scouse' accent due to this, and from there came 'scousers'.
Liverpool is famously associated with the Scouse dish, a hearty stew made from meat and vegetables, often served with bread. The name "Scouse" also refers to the local dialect and culture. Additionally, the city has a vibrant food scene that includes dishes influenced by its maritime history, such as seafood and traditional British fare. The famous "Scouse" reflects the city's working-class roots and is a staple in local cuisine.
A Scouser is a nickname for a Liverpudlian ( person from Liverpool). Personally I am a 'Plastic Scouser'. Born and brought up in Birkenhead, (A Birkonian), and locally known as 'Plastic Scousers' . Think of it as similar to 'Cockney' , person born within the sound of Bow Bells, in the East End of London.
