Labskaus

Labskaus (German: [ˈlapskaʊ̯s] ⓘ) is a culinary speciality from northern Germany and in particular from the cities of Bremen, Hamburg, and Lübeck.

Some recipes put beetroot, pickled gherkin, or even herring into it, while others have these ingredients as side dishes.

Finally the base is fried in lard, condiments as nutmeg, pepper, coriander, or allspice are added.

For example, in Bremen, 95 kilometres (59 mi) away from Hamburg, Labskaus usually is a preparation of fried corned beef, onions and mashed potatoes with the beetroot and Rollmops being served as a side dish.

In Denmark, the dish is similar to the Bremen version, but without the herring and some times with added gravy.
