Was the question about a Scouse serious?

Yes, seriously, National Scouse Day was [as I write} yesterday.
There may be some who are so deprived that they have never tasted this culinary masterpiece.
Recipe is as follows:
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!
Suggested accompaniment: pickled beetroot and/or red cabbage - YUM!!!

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

A Scouse is by definition a person who EATS Scouse
Unless you're Dion Durban and "scouse" an opponent during a game.
Then you'll get away with it - but if RS had done it to you, you'd have him up on assault charges

So, Scouses are cannibals because they eat othor scouses, right?

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.

They are two big soft chocolate cookies put together with lots of creamy frosting - A Pennsylvania Dutch treat.
I was making them for a fund raising dinner to be held tomorrow night.
