Labskaus

Just finished my first plate of Labskaus and it was out of this world.." Labskaus is a culinary specialty from Northern Germany and in particular from the cities of Bremen, Hamburg, and Lübeck. It is a dish the sailors cooked on the fishing ships when they were out in the sea for weeks and months. Because there were no fridges or cooling systems on these ships, they had to use long-lasting ingredients such as pickles, red beet, eggs, potatoes, onions and beef that was cured in brine and is called corned beef. Some recipes put beetroot, pickled gherkin, or even herring into it, while others have these ingredients as side orders. The dish became common amongst sailors and seamen during the time of the great ships. Potatoes and salted meats were a standard fare and Labskaus would make a less than fresh cut of meat more palatable and stretch the meat supply.
