Hi Glenda I am an expert on Scouse and so is Danny because we are from Liverpool, known world wide as Scousers. I make Scouse at least once a week, in company with the rest of the world, who probably make Scouse but call it something else - hash, Irish Stew. As I said before, we all have our own recipes and I will send mine to you off List. The word Scouse does indeed come from the Norwegian, and Lobskaus is Scouse without meat, or "blind scouse" (How did Roy Orbison get in there?)
