Re: Towns with Products - List?
I saw the post about labskaus (a German dish), but not lapskaus. Where is it, please?

Re: Towns with Products - List?
Lapskaus and labskaus are the same dish, and both spellings are used in German.

Re: Towns with Products - List?
I have to admit that I had not read the Wikipedia article, though I recognised that the words were related. But the German dish is completely different from the Norwegian. I think they must all have the same (unknown) origins, but the dishes are more similar between Denmark, Norway, and Liverpool, than the North German edition, which seems to have diverged more than other versions. Hence, I thought that the English dish was perhaps related to the Norwegian one, rather than the German one.Jdsk wrote: ↑9 Nov 2021, 2:34pmLapskaus and labskaus are the same dish, and both spellings are used in German.

Norwegian Wikipedia says this about the word origin (translated)
The word lapskaus has an uncertain origin, but comes originally either from Low German labskaus or labskansch and English lobscouse, where it may have arisen as a distortion of lob's course (lump course), ie meal for manual labourers

Yorkshire Pudding.
Why Yorkshire?
Egg, milk and flour into a batter is worldwide and been made for eons, and well before Yorkshire even existed.

Possibly the smallest item here to be named after a town (my old home town); the 'Baldock Tip' for Billiard and Snooker Cues as used by the late great Joe Davis.

The Old Original Ormskirk Ginger Bread .
Some folks in Ormskirk have re-purposed a phone box with tableaux from the town's history inset in the window panels;
here's the OOOGB history.
Note person pushing a bicycle into the distance in the backdrop. I must see if you can still buy them, I like ginger.
A baker's stall on the market was giving away free muffins to celebrate Lancashire Day yesterday; nice town Ormskirk.
Note free pre-softened chewing gum on the box's case, continuing this laudable action.
