Is the kitchen of England healthy unhealthy or just something that needs getting used to and maybe a bit weird for some mainland Europeans? The latter is probably the case. Because healthy unhealthy – that’s also a question that the English have always grappled with when it comes to dishes and original recipes. Holidaymakers can also explore English cuisine with guided culinary tours during their stay, for example in Liverpool.
Out and about in the rugged North West of England
Liverpool is probably known to many because of the world-famous football club, where many world-famous footballers started their careers or just played for a few years and which also had something to report internationally. And a world-famous pop group also started their career here, the Beatles. The city is also a popular tourist destination and known for its cuisine. Located at the mouth of the River Mersey, where it enters the Irish Sea, this city with around 860,000 inhabitants has an important export port and is therefore a port city. Nevertheless, the city has a rather temperate but maritime climate. The summers are rather cool, the winters mild. Typical for England: On average, there are around 180 rainy days a year. In a British compa-rison, this is more than the average. However, snowfall is relatively rare, despite the city’s location in the north-west of England. Except for visiting the port, you don’t have to spend much time outside in the city as a tourist. There are many places of interest to visit such as the town’s two cathedrals and Speke Hall, a timber-framed mansion and gardens built in the late 16th century and the neoclassical St George’s Hall, which was built between 1840 and 1855 lies. And the town hall and the World Museum are not only a feast for the eyes from the outside. And then there’s Chinatown and West Derby Village Cross. There is a lot of information and free tips on where to go and what to see there.
Go on a culinary journey of discovery
If you come to the city as a tourist from England, you don’t just want to visit the harbor and its mighty facilities. The many small and, of course, the largest restaurants in the city, where traditional but original recipes are on the menu, are attractive – especially at mealtimes. Information and free tips on which restaurant is worth a visit – the locals and the hotel staff provide information about this, but above all the city guide, with whom you can also book a culinary journey through the city. If you want to explore the culinary highlights of Liverpool with a city guide, you should be prepared for very special taste experiences. Because the exploration is then not designed for restaurants that want to meet the palate and taste of tourists with their food, but for the restaurants that offer regional cuisine for vacationers. In other words, a fish and chip tour for the palate, this will not be for the vacationers. The cuisine of the region is not only designed for the “poor man’s food” typical of the region. The tourist is introduced, for example, to Scouse, the favorite dish of Ringo Starr, one of the Beatles. This is a stew made from corned beef, onions, herring and potatoes. The names of the dishes are original. With dishes like bubble and squeak, Liverpool’s cuisine can be described as down-to-earth.
