This is basically true, the cheapest cuts of meat were used, cut up into 1 inch-ish cubes covered in flour ( shake in a bag )one or two onions chopped, chopped up carrots, plenty spuds 1 inch-ish cube size. But the extra is one ( or 2) neckend of Lamb, this gives the distinctive taste ( to me ) half teaspoon salt, half teaspoon of black, half teaspoon white pepper to taste more is better, water of course maybe some sort of stock or an oxo, maybe a bit of gravy powder halfway through to thicken if it looks a bit thinscouse is all the crap bits noone eats all lobbed in a big pot and have the arse cooked off them

Sorry it's not much of a recipe but it was all taught to me by watching ( I mean you couldn't/didn't as a kid in those days ask your mum or nan how to cook, I mean boys just didnt then did they )
It's an art not a formula no 2 are the same.
Try it, the makings are cheap what you got to lose
Best cooked the day before left overnight, then re-heated, when serving sprinkle over liberal amounts of either homemade red cabbage and or beetroot.
HP sauce compulsory
Dumplings are for pretentious southern shandy swilling wimpsOh yeah before serving take out the bone from the neckend and any bits of fat/gristle that didn't desolve
I don't do a bad one
The mammy did a better one and The Granny did the best one, but that maybe the rose tinted glasses talking there.
