Scouse

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Scouse is a stew traditionally made of beef or lamb with potatoes, carrots and onions, closely associated with Liverpool, England, to the degree that the city's accent and residents are also called Scouse and Scousers. A 2018 survey by the Liverpool Echo found most cooks keep to potatoes, carrots, onions and diced meat, with some adding stock cubes, peas, lentils or herbs such as rosemary and parsley. The dish descends from lobscouse, a meal of meat and ship's biscuit eaten by Northern European sailors, and a potato-based version had become traditional in Liverpool and its surrounding area by the late eighteenth century; related dishes remain popular in countries around the North Sea, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Germany.
