   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. Whichever version of the story is true the Ploughman's Lunch was established as a traditional mid afternoon meal.

Scouse: This is a REAL scouse recipe from  REAL Scousers. This traditional Liverpool variation of Irish Stew became popular after a wave of Irish immigration to the city in the 19th Century. "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

Originally the Pastie contained three separate courses including a dessert. As time went on however, they became best known for their rich meat and vegetable filling.
