Tweaks interest

I'm sure Frau Koeln and Hollygolightly will back me up on this. Mushy is a slang term for the er, female parts.

You speak the truth Joe

Did you cook that, Ms G - I'm coming to yours for a nice pan o' scouse!

I didn't. I'd have buttered the bread neater than that lol! It does look nice though. My dad (at 85) makes the best scouse - great big pan of it and I come for a handout, like the soup kitchen!

Cardiff has Clark's Pies

And all of Wales has Welsh cakes

Ms Go & Barolo check this place out...

It means a little ferry ride but is well worth the effort

Cheers Heatseek - it's on my side of the water!

Never heard of it, though - must check it out sometime.

I don't think the owners are Scousers though - did you notice they advertise a 'vegetarian option' of scouse? That was thought up before we ever heard of vegetarians . . . blind scouse it was called!!

Lol i used to eat Faggots, but have no clue what "grey pays" are

Me neither

Grey Paes are pigeon peas boiled up with bacon bits until tender. I have them at least once a week. They are also called grey farters for obvious reasons.

Oooh, a real local

Yup. You either love them or you hate them

I remember a long thread over on C4 about the virtue (or not, as the case may be!) of chips n' gravy ... it is of course delicious and totally natural here in Liverpool - every chippy does chips n' gravy!

Our pronunciation is spot on.

Not as weird as my friend... she used to give her son gravy on toast for his tea (i don't know why... she had tons of food in... she owned a pub... I assume the child requested this delight!)

No I forgot that too. Something wrong with the old memory nowadays.

Found it!

This is a recipe for the famous green gravy that is served with the East End (London, UK) speciality of Pie, Mash and Liquor.

Ingredients Parsley Liquor

25 Gram Butter (1 oz)
25 Gram Plain flour (1 oz)
300 ml Water (10 fl oz)
4 Tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 Teaspoon Malt vinegar, optional

How to make Parsley Liquor

* Parsley LiquorMelt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute.

* Gradually add the water or stock. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Add the parsley and seasoning and vinegar if using.

* Serve with a minced beef pie and mashed potatoes.
Note:
You can use chicken stock to make your Parsley Liquor in place of the water

I love the stuff I learn on this forum!!

Proper broth.
Ham shank, loads of veg and and pulses.

On Mo's last visit to Durham she was taken with Chefboy's Mam's corned beef pie, I recall.

I presume we've done pease pudding.

Yes! I did gala pie and pease pudding.
I have to wrap up now so can I just say in conclusion that not only do we have the most exciting regional accents er, chore, but we also appear to have the best and most varied cuisine.

Never presume, as that makes an ass out of ... oh ok, wrong word ! However, tell me more of pease pudding!

Pease pudding hot
Pease pudding cold
Pease pudding in the pot, 9 days old ...

Is this the one?

No you were right the first time, it does indeed make a pres out of you and me.


Pease pudding is great, especially with ham or salads.
Place Split Peas in large ovenproof dish. Cover with Water 475g of split peas to every 2 litres of water add salt and pepper to season. Allow to stand over night. Add small pieces of chopped bacon (not the fat or rind) into mixture. As to your own requirement, remembering this is a split pea rather than a meat recipe.

Place middle shelf of oven, Gas Mark 5 150C - cook until set. Until this reaches a nice medium consistency (not too thick ot thin as once cool it sets even thicker..

Very true Joe!

Ms Golightly, pease pudding is made from yellow split peas. The supermarket variety is vegetarian, made with just water...but home made is usually made with ham stock (sometimes with flaked bits of meat from the aforementioned ham shank)

I like to call it the geordie version of houmous.

Aaah the great panhagarty/panaculty debate..more versions than there are spellings and pronounciations! My family say panacalty - a 'broth' made with root vegetables, split peas, red lentils and corned beef. So, nothing like corned beef hash or the other version which is basically sliced potatoes, onions and cheese! My guess it was a generic North Eastern word for something filling and cheap?

I thought it was just us...also know as grovesnor pie (my son would eat it all day every day if I let him)

Yeah, you're probably right...I think most families have their own version.

Ours is bacon, corned beef, potatoes and onions and gravy layered in a dish then oven cooked.

Mr L's family's is summat bizarre with corned beef, carrots, potato and cheese

Yorksire pudding (incidentally called batters in Norfolk.. and on the batter up here means prostitite!)

Fat rascals

Is it only us in the top right who are interested then?

Off topic but one for our Smoggies.

My Monkey Hanger cousin posted on fb that she'd got a new job, her brother was teasing her and said "Tashing about down the docks is not a job"

Her obv. non NEastern friend piped up "You're working at your Doc's?" Thinking she had bagged a job as a medical receptionist.
