Okay, Dinah- you asked for it!
and you're absolutely right, Labskaus is the most icky food I know of.

you take:
-beetroot
-rollmops or salted herring, sometimes the young herring
-potatos
-onions
-a can of corned beef
-some pickles
and a fried egg.

You mash the potato with the cooking-water(!),fry the corned-beef 
together with the onions and mash that too.mash the beetroot and put 
it to the meat. add the potato and stir.
Some people mash the herring into it all, some place it on top. add 
the pickles and the fried egg- et voilá!

Here it is- it looks like it has been eaten before- a dirty, pink 
coloured mass, smelling of something between fish and meat!

Okay, folks from all over the world- try to beat the icky factor!
