Hello Waterways
Yes it does appear that the dish, scouse, originates from Scandinavia and from Irish stew. But it is now Liverpudlian, which is undeniable even if it came from somewhere else originally.

The late Fritz Spiegl was surely an expert on the Liverpool dialect and this is how one of his books is
described in a local bookseller's catalog which I would say is authoritative on the matter of the definition of "Scouse"--
"
Scouse International: The Liverpool Dialect in Five Languages
by Fritz Spiegl
£2.49 paperback
The word Scouse has three meanings.
1. An inhabitant of Liverpool.
2. The accent or dialect in which he or she speaks.
3. The best-known local dish, which is a variation of Irish Stew.
We hope you will enjoy meeting the local people, hearing them speak, and eating the food with them. This book will help you to understand all three.
