CAUTION: Scouser approaching

[clifftop]

Hello! My name is Cliff, I'm from Liverpool (but don't hold that against me ), I am an ambo-man and part time grumpy sod.

I am 37, married with one 11 year old daughter (who thinks she's 28 ),
I've never been on a 'plane , we do the camping thing as often as possible, and I think I'm gonna like it here.

Cliff.

Welcome (and what is a scouser?)!

Welcome (and what is a scouser?)!

A Scouser is an inhabitant of Liverpool, England.
They are called this because of the name of a local dish, Scouse.

Correct Pete.

(quote, not verbatim, from the scouser website
Scouse was brought to Liverpool by sailors from Nothern Europe, it was originally called Labskause but was shortened to skause and over time the spelling has changed to today's version.

Originally, the people who ate Scouse were sailors and their families, eventually all sailors within Liverpool were known as scousers, time has once again taken it's turn and now, everyone from the Liverpool area is known as a Scouser.

Scouse sounds like hearty camp food to me i'll be giving that a try. unless it makes me talk funny and want to play for Accrington Stanley ?

James, it is the food of the Gods.
It can be cooked much quicker in a pressure cooker, but you need to be careful not to allow it to "catch" in the bottom of the pan.
It tastes even better the next day when left overnight in the fridge.

PS: Brown sauce and red pickled cabbage are mandatory

Talk funny?
No way mate, you'd have to live up here for many years before the lingo got a grip of you.

As for Accrington Stanley: WHO????

It is a lovely meal, we have it a couple of times a month, lashings of pickled red cabbage and pickled beetroot, so the gravy goes red... the only Liverpool colour to stand by
You could cook it before hand and heat to eat.
