Global Scouse Day is observed worldwide every February 28, celebrating the English city of Liverpool and its signature dish, scouse, a meat stew typically made from lamb or beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions. The event originated from a tradition started by traveler Graham Hughes, who, inspired by a Burns supper, would host a “scouse supper” on his birthday. Over time, this gathering evolved into a citywide celebration, officially named Global Scouse Day, which includes various events such as performances, competitions, and the annual “Scouse Off.” More than 100 restaurants, bars, and cafes in Liverpool participate by serving scouse, even if it is not part of their regular menu, while schools and hospitals also offer the dish. The celebration extends beyond Liverpool, with venues in other British cities and countries like Australia and the United States joining in. Additionally, the event raises money for charities and provides free food to the homeless, making it a cultural observance that emphasizes community spirit.
