The thing about scouse is that I always remember it having a lot of potatoes and not a lot of anything else. It wasnt runny (at least me Mum's wasn't) like stews. We always use to have shin beef in it....and dont forget to eat it as scouse sandwiches.

 

will try making it like that,

Yes if you go to a proper butchers.

My favourite butcher this winter has been in Todmorden market. There's 3 butchers in there, I use the one at the back on the right because they do the best lambs liver ever, and good streaky bacon.

He, she or it posted a link to a restaurant in Singapore, from what I could gather.  When I looked at the link, it was quickly obscured by other things appearing on the screen - from memory, an advert for Google Chrome. Most odd.

I've hated the stuff ever since greasy spam fritters at skool... 😞

The butcher round the corner from us makes their own pâtés, sausages, black puddings (including one with chestnuts in), and as they have a smoke house, lovely smoky bacon.

Reminds me of the cake Mrs Doyle made in Father Ted.

 

Contained cocaine, apparently.

 

No hang on, I think it was raisins.

Taisez-vous, j'ai faim!

 

One of many reasons to visit France: the butchers and charcutiers tend to be proper artisans, rather than buying in pre-packaged meat products as is so often the case in England.

They were awesome! You could either eat them combined or pry off the batter with your blunt school cutlery and eat as seperate foods, delicious

If you could get the batter off that easily the cook wasn't doing their job properly, they're supposed to be indestructible...

You were obviously a weak and sickly child, i bet you couldn't crack the old chocolate concrete either could you?  

 

I went to a small village school with about 40kids total, the kitchen staff were all lovely local ladies who knew their craft, nothing was inedible

They made sure that your school cutlery was blunt? Rough place, 'uddersfield.

AND the boulangeries! 

 

On our holidays in northern France we used to buy from the local boulangerie a truly vast crusty white "country loaf" first thing in the morning and eat the whole thing for breakfast. They had a massively open and airy 'crumb' inside and a slice an inch thick was not enough, two or three slices each, toasted with butter was necessary. The whole loaf was usually about 2ft 6in long and a foot wide but weighed only about 2lb. 

 

Do you recognise this description? I ask as I can find no reference at all to these wonderful loaves on the internet, and I want to make them myself!

Hmm, is "cracking the chocolate concrete" a euphemism?

 

I was of course exaggerating -- the food was actually pretty good (except for spam fritters, obvs...) at my school, but I have to say that 'cos my aunt was the head cook 😉
