That'd be something to do by bike. Best place to carry the grub would be in the breadbasket.

The name more or less speaks for itself as it's a Liverpudlian delicacy, so just for you.
LIVERPOOL Scouse.

Some misunderstandings around scouse, as a dish rather than a dialect. It's a short form of lobscouse, an old Liverpool dish cooked by poor people in tenements, consisting of meat and potatoes. My wife talks about cooking 'a pan of lobbies.' Although she isn't from Liverpool. However, it didn't originate in Liverpool. One assumes the sailors in that port city had visited Hamburg, where they might have encountered the local speciality of Labskaus. This contains potatoes, corned beef and beetroot, and is popular in dockside cafes there, according to a friend, now living in Moscow, who told me the above.
Yes.

But are there only two great cultural connections between the cities?

"Humber" was a person, not the estuary.
