Talk:lobscouse

Here it says that it comes from German Labskaus, but that page in the German Wiktionary says it comes from English lobscouse. In conclusion, English is probably as far back as we can trace it.__Gamren (talk) 09:58, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oxford and Merriam Webster say "origin uncertain"; the latter suggests that the English word may be from Norwegian lapskaus. Duden says German is from Low German, which is from English lobscouse, which, again, is of "uncertain origin". DDO says Danish  is from English, which is of uncertain origin.,  suggest Latvian labs kausis or Lithuanian labas káuszas, both of which mean "good bowl", so that's a possibility, I suppose.
