FOOD

Scouse

Scouse

A type of stew typically made from meat (usually beef or lamb) with potatoes, carrots, and onions; it is particularly associated with the city of Liverpool, to the extent that the Liverpool accent is also widely referred to as “Scouse” and locals as “Scousers”; it is similar to Irish stew or Lancashire hotpot, though generally using beef rather than lamb.

Wet Nelly

Wet Nelly

A traditional, thrifty bread pudding from Liverpool, made from stale bread, milk, sugar, eggs, butter, dried fruit and spices; it was created to use up leftover scraps during times of poverty and rationing; it was historically called the “Docker's Wedding Cake” because working-class families used it as an affordable celebration cake.

Everton Mints

Everton Mints

Traditional British boiled sweets featuring iconic black-and-white stripes, a crisp peppermint shell, and a rich, chewy toffee centre; originating in the Everton area of Liverpool during the 18th century, they inspired the famous “Toffees” nickname for the Everton Football Club.
