Lapskaus
Lapskaus is a traditional stew originating from Norway. The stew is usually made with a combination of beef (lamb, pork, and chicken are also viable options), onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, rutabaga, stock, flour (optional), bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.
The beef is cooked in water with the vegetables, herbs, and seasonings. As the stew cooks, the broth becomes thicker, and once it develops the right consistency, it's served warm with a few slices of bread or lefse flatbread on the side. If desired, the broth can be thickened with a bit of flour.
However, the dish has many variations, and some people like their broth to be thin and watery. This hearty stew is especially popular in autumn and winter. Like most stews, lapskaus tastes even better the next day.

WHERE TO EAT The best Lapskaus in the world (according to food experts)
"They produce modern Norwegian cuisine with meat, fish and vegetable products from their producers. Classics like Lapskaus have to be tried."
Lovely and lively place. Great Lapskaus, tasty and hearty. As this is a restaurant focused on pork, their Lapskaus is made with pork too, instead of more typical beef. But I can hardly imagine this stew being better somewhere else.
