In Croatia, I was oddly fascinated to see this sign, which (apparently) pointed the way to a restaurant where I could get a bowl of lobby. Staffordshire Lobby is a left-overs stew, a little like the Liverpudlian scouse dish. I wondered if an ex-pat was pushing the idea.
Of course, no lobby was forthcoming.
The owner of the restaurant explained that 'Lobby' was just the restaurant's name. However - this is the puzzling bit - he could not remember why this name (a meaningless and very odd one for Croatia) had been chosen...
It's the first time I've heard of the dish. I've always associated the word with an entrance space.
