📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Lapskaus is a Norwegian home dish descended from stews eaten by sailors in northern European ports. Beef or pork, potatoes, carrots, swede, and onion are diced and simmered until the potatoes break down and thicken it. It's often made with leftover meat and is a weeknight dinner staple, eaten with flatbread.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a rainy day in the port city of Bergen, a big pot of stew bubbles in the kitchen and a warm dinner begins with flatbread.
