uncleglen Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I knew a scouse ex-social worker who ran a knitwear business in the post-office in Dulwich Village and she lived in Barry Road. However- sometime between leaving Liverpool and my meeting her she had completely obliterated any hint of Scouse by having elocution lessons to the extent that she pronounced half-term as 'half-tarm' in true posh London-style. So you never know who is a scouser unless you ask. She has since moved to Scotland last I heard.Meanwhilehttp://www.scouser.com/scouse-recipe/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/43397-trying-to-find-a-scouse-in-this-area-is-near-impossible/#findComment-740247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of HP sauce on the top and pickled red cabbage.......

Atticus Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Never ever had Scouse (as described), nor did I know anyone who had it. What we did have was Irish Stew which I guess is pretty much stew as everyone had/has it.As for Birkenhead folk, certainly not scoucers. Known largely as 'wooly backs'.

LadyNorwood Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Woollybacks are Gogs (north Wales) and parts of Cheshire, not Birkenhead... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/scousers-plastic-scousers-woolybacks--3366630His Lordship is a Scouser and there's always a pot of scouse on the go at Rooney Towers - more of an Autumn/Winter dish though....

Otta Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Always had it on bonfire night.The wooly back thing seems to change depending on who you talk to. I was called a wooly back once by someone who basically felt that anyone not from Liverpool itself was a woomy back. I think they were kind of missing the point.

Atticus Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Where I'm from, wooley backs are anywhere from across the Mersey, and outside of Liverpool boundaries, which certainly includes Birkenhead. Though Otta has a point, those from the area have the thickest of scouse accents.

Otta Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 According to Wikipedia (so it must be right then) Scouse (the stew) got it's name from lobscouse which was a stew eaten by sailors. So as with the accent, it's all about the days when Liverpool was a busy port.

Atticus Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Pickled beetroot and crusty bread were the ideal bedfellows.
