smiley - chef Yes, seriously, National Scouse Day was [as I write} yesterday.smiley - tongueout
There may be some smiley - yikes who are so deprived smiley - cry that they have never tasted this culinary masterpiece. smiley - winkeye

smiley - chefRecipe is as follows:smiley - chef
Basic ingredients are root vegetables, anything else cheap and available (according to season) and whatever happens to be the cheapest, nastiest cuts of the cheapest meat to hand, don't forget large handfuls of red lentils and pearl barley. (Unless, of course, you make BLIND SCOUSE which is even cheaper as it contains NO meat.....)

Seal the meat (if you're making the 'expensive' version) and toss in the root veg. Cover with sufficient water. Leave and forget until the root veg are tender [by which time even the cheapest meat will be edible!!]. Other veg can be added along the way, depending on how long you think they may need to cook. A stock cube or two, a glug of wine - anything goes!
smiley - chefSuggested accompaniment: pickled beetroot and/or red cabbage - YUM!!!smiley - chef

That doesn't answer the question does it. Isn't a scouse a liverpudlian?

What is going on here? Are poor mean/miserly people scouses then as they eat scouses? I thought the scouse reference was due to a verbal greeting.
