Bubble & squeak is a traditional local meal that combines potatoes and vegetables with meat from the Sunday dinner. Typically made to extend leftovers throughout the week, it’s one of the meals which can be found at Merseyside restaurants today, re-imagined as a delicious modern dish at the many gastropubs or traditional British restaurants in the area. Not just that, Scouse is the classic dish of Liverpool and combines slow-cooked meat and vegetables, served with pickles and bread.
