Answer 1

Originally from Norway the dish 'lapskause' (Norwegian for meat stew) was the staple fare upon the ships of the 18th and 19th centuries. It consisted of any root vegetables that would last 3 months without going bad and some sort of meat (aboard ship probably dried). As sailors settled down along the routes of their voyages they kept the basis ofb the recipie but substituted the dried meat for the cheapest cut of meat available locally. In North Wales that was probably scrag end of lamb. The same recipe is to be found in the Great Lakes region of North America. There is is made with Corned Beef and known as a New England Broiled Dinner. The most famous incarnation of Lapskause was of course that of the city of Liverpool which led to the whole population of that city being called Scousers
