Ploughman's Lunch:
This selection of cold cuts, bread, cheese and pickle was supposed to be the traditional lunch taken into the fields by farm workers. There are some, however, who say the term "Ploughman's Lunch" was simply invented in the 19th Century to advertise a certain band of pickle.

"Scouse" became so popular that it eventually leant it's name to the people of the city who became known as 'Scousers'. It is also claimed that the world 'scouse' is derived from a Nordic word used by early Viking invaders of the Liverpool area. Scouse without any meat is curiously known as 'Blind Scouse
