Another one for TheDoctor46!



A wish nothing but the best for you,
Second best just won't do.
You truly are an amazing friend,
Thoughts of love to you I send.

And as you set upon your path,
Enjoy your freedom while it lasts,
I have a feeling it won't be long,
Until your single days are gone.

But be careful who's heart you break,
There is one I just won't take,
A certain personal friend of mine,

We'll thank you who ever sent this. I'm shocked tbh lol. I did not expect anything. Well I will be careful and I sure will not break this special persons heart

It's a Liverpudlian stew...bit like Irish stew....Lob if you have meat, just Scouse if you only have the veg.

Scouse is a type of lamb or beef stew. The word comes from lobscouse, a stew commonly eaten by sailors throughout Northern Europe, which became popular in seaports such as Liverpool.

Nineteenth century sailors made lobscouse by boiling salted meat, onions and pepper, with ship's biscuit used to thicken the dish.[6] Modern English scouse resembles the Norwegian lapskaus, although it differs from the German and Scandinavian labskaus, which is similar to hash. Scouse is a stew, similar to Lancashire hotpot, usually of mutton, lamb (often neck) or beef with vegetables, typically potatoes, carrots and onions. It is commonly served with pickled beetroot or cabbage and bread.
Scouse is strongly associated with Liverpool, where it remains popular and is a staple of local pub and café menus, although recipes vary greatly and often include ingredients which are inconsistent with the thrifty roots of the dish. "Scouse" has become part of a genre of slang terms which refer to people by stereotypes of their dietary habits, e.g. Limey, Rosbif (for the English), and Kraut (for Germans).
In St. Helens, the dish is often called "lobbies" and uses corned beef as the meat. In Wigan "lobbies" is often made using tinned stewing steak as the meat. A further variety of the dish is "blind Scouse", made without meat, although it would likely have used cheap "soup bones" for flavouring the broth (prior to WW2, such meat bones could be sold to bone dealers after being used and for the same price as originally purchased from the butcher[citation needed]). The dish is also popular in Leigh with local residents sometimes being referred to as 'Lobbygobblers'.
A variant lobscaws or lobsgaws is a traditional dish in North Wales, normally made with braising or stewing steak, potatoes, and any other vegetable available,or made with mutton it is known as cawl.The food was traditionally regarded as food for farmers and the working-class people of North Wales, but is now popular as a dish throughout Wales. The recipe was brought by the canal barges[citation needed] to Stoke-on-Trent where it is called "lobby", the shortened version of "lobscouse".

PS...hehe...Look what I found....


I use beef stock, braising steak, carrots, potatoes, swede and an onion a bit of salt...chuck it all in and just let it cook. Second day is even yummier!

OK...I'm derailing my own thread here.....as you were folks!

reply to post by angelchemuel


Nice! Sounds yummorific!

If I had not have just finished eating my lunch, that description would have made me ravenous!

It's quite bad in the south too. The trees are going absolutely mad and the cat is jumping up giving me angry looks every time there is a bang outside.

Everything was fine on top of this friggin mountain earlier but when we got down to the valley there was an inch of snow! Very weird indeed.

reply to post by Tsu322


Awwe Poor kitty!

Which bit of the South do you hail from then Tsu322? How is the rain treating you?

reply to post by Tsu322


Made it back from work safe and sound

We had a lull for a few hours, then the rain damn near broke my wipers, and it's really picking up again now.

Making home made soup right now, and just managed to swim to Sainsburys for some fresh rustic bread

nomnomnmnom

Glad to see Doc made it.

And glad to hear that all in the thread are safe and feeling the love.
