Scouse

Scouse is a hearty meat and vegetable stew that is traditionally served with bread on the side, typically used to mop up all of the flavorful juices. Although it is a comfort food staple in Liverpool, many people believe that it is either based on Irish stew or on a Norwegian dish called lapskaus. Regardless of the origins, scouse became a favorite of local sailors in Liverpool, and today it can be found in numerous pubs and cafés throughout the city.
