There is this in Rauma where I partly grew up, and lived for 12 years before moving to Turku.
"It’s actually the sailors that have made lapskoussi known in many harbour cities around the world. The name of the dish has remained more or less the same everywhere: Labskaus (in Germany), lapskojs (in Sweden), lobscouse (in English). Lapskoussi has become a dish that belongs to the every day life of the inhabitants of Rauma, but it can also be served in special occasions when people want to celebrate something.
Most certainly there are as many lapskoussi recipes as there are cooks. The main ingredients are beef, pork and root vegetables. The extraordinarily delicious taste is the outcome of a long cooking time. The basic spices such as salt and pepper are enough."
The last sentence tells it all, bland as fuck.
