🇩🇪 Germany recipe
Labskaus
Labskaus is the most polarizing dish in German cuisine. Beloved by northern Germans and often misunderstood by everyone else, this bright pink sailors' hash combines corned beef, beetroot, and potatoes into a rustic, satisfying mash. Topped with a fried egg, a curled rollmops (pickled herring fillet), and a crunchy gherkin, it is a riot of colors, textures, and bold flavors that has sustained Hamburg and Bremen sailors for centuries.
