I means that sort o' contentment that makes a man feel happy though he hasn't got champagne an' taters, pigeon-pie, lobscouse, plum-duff, mustard an' jam at every blow-out; that sort o' contentment that takes things as they come, an' enjoys 'em without grumpin' an' growlin' 'cause he hasn't got somethin' else."

It's a temperance lunch-room for sailors, with regular first-class ship grub; lobscouse, plum-duff and sech.
"Richard Dare's Venture"
Edward Stratemeyer
The object was seated at the dinner-table contending with her lobscouse, and did not feel his presence near.
