Speak Scouse
 
 
 

"Scouse" is the Liverpudlian stew cooked in a large pot. There is a version of scouse that has no meat in it at all - just potatoes, carrots and meat stock. This is known as "lob scouse" or "blind Scouse.

Scouse is superb! Served with a piece of fresh, crusty bread, pickled red cabbage and beetroot, it is a true delicacy!

The exact recipe for Scouse is unknown, each family had their own way of making Scouse and what ingredients where available at the time. Remember this is a dish prepared by poverty stricken families.
