Take one pregnant woman.

Keep her in Liverpool until she gives birth.

Voila: a Scouse(r)


If you want a recipe for Lobscouse, you're in very dangerous waters. Housewives, and their attendand tribes, have come to blows over what it should/should not be.

Go there, and you're a braver man than I. (OK: figuratively 'man', me being female and all.) You'll have similar problems trying for a definitive recipe for cawl in south and west Wales, or for Bara Brith or Welsh Cakes anywhere in the nation.
