Let’s get started!</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">Liverpudlians or Scousers?</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">During your stay in Liverpool, you will notice that natives tend to call themselves Scousers, but Scouse is not just a local nickname. It’s based on lobscouse, a meaty stew rich in vegetables that was popular among sailors working on the city’s seaports back in the 19th century, and remains a beloved comfort food to this day. Today, Scousers are known for their distinctive Scouse accent, along with Scouse jokes and their unique Scouse slang, which may require some decoding.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="">The people of Liverpool are also referred to as Liverpudlians. The word itself is associated with the word 'puddle', meaning a small pool, as the city originally started as a tidal pool on the River Mersey. Therefore, a native is a Liver-puddle-ian, or Liverpudlian.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">Who are the “Kopites”?</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">If you’re a major football fan, you're probably familiar with this term. It’s no secret that Liverpool is an extremely popular and internationally successful football city, with its major football teams, Liverpool FC and Everton.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="">When you visit Liverpool, you’ll notice the fans. They call themselves Kopites. The name is a tribute to the fans who once stood and currently sit on the Kop in Anfield Stadium, one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. If you’re a football enthusiast, like most of the earth’s population, Liverpool’s the city for you!</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">Once the European Capital of Cool</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Liverpool held the prestigious title of European Capital of Culture in 2008, celebrating its diverse cultural landscape and artistic heritage. Keep an eye out for the lasting legacy of this title in its thriving art scene and innovative projects.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">Liverpool Cathedral’s Towering Bells</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Liverpool Cathedral is the UK's largest Anglican cathedral and one of the city's greatest attractions. Designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, it features the heaviest collection of church bells in the country. There’s also a whimsical element to it, namely a gargoyle holding a Beatles album, which is a testament to Liverpool's musical heritage and the timeless quality of these architectural marvels.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">A Major Musical Hub</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Liverpool is known as the Capital of Pop, and for good reason. Beyond The Beatles, who have their own museum, The Beatles Story Liverpool, the city has had a significant influence on the music scene. While the Fab Four remain legendary, the city holds the Guinness World Record for the most number-one hit singles produced by its artists, boasting bands like Gerry &amp; The Pacemakers, Echo &amp; The Bunnymen, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and many more.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="">Additionally, the city is home to the oldest professional symphony orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1840, and has played an essential role in shaping Liverpool's music.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">A Literary Powerhouse</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Liverpool is renowned for being home to literary icons. Whether it be the Gothic chills of Bram Stoker in his Dracula or social observations and insights by another Liverpool-based writer, Alan Bleasdale, in his Boys from the Blackstuff, Liverpool has birthed literary giants who have managed to encapsulate the city’s essence and social realities.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="">Shakespeare lovers, too, rejoice! Everyman &amp; Playhouse theatres are located in the city, and they hold the distinction of staging every single one of Shakespeare’s plays, which is quite an achievement for any theatre company and one of the most iconic things to see in Liverpool!</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">The Birthplace of Modern Railways</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Forget the King’s Cross; Liverpool holds the distinction of being home to the world’s first inter-city rail line. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway has transformed transportation since 1830, laying the foundation of modern rail travel.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">It is Home to The World's First Commercial Wet Dock</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Again with the docks! Step back in time with the world’s first commercial wet dock, the Old Dock, which opened in 1700. While Canning Dock, which opened in 1753, has also witnessed centuries of maritime trade, it now serves as a vibrant cultural hub, hosting a range of events and exhibitions.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">Liverpool has Special Birds</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">The iconic Liver Birds on the top of the Royal Liver Building are symbols of Liverpool, though their symbolism goes deeper than most people realise, as each bird holds its own unique token. The male, "Bertie," holds an oak branch, representing strength and resilience, while the female, "Bella," carries a sprig of seaweed, a nod to the city's maritime roots.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="">The names and individual offerings of these majestic statues embody Liverpool’s protective spirit and enduring connection to the sea.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">A City with Secret Tunnels</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">The Williamson Tunnels stretch out beneath the busy streets of Liverpool, creating a mysterious web beneath the city. Created by the eccentric philanthropist Joseph Williamson in the 19th century, the purpose of their construction remains unknown, sparking curiosity and speculation.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="">Through guided tours, visitors can cross these passages that were once used for smuggling and wartime shelters and experience a mix of chills alongside captivating historical insights.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="">Liverpool is a city woven from intriguing history and cultural strands, with hidden surprises at every corner.

The city has one of the largest South Asian communities in the UK, so if you're into real-deal curries, samosas, or street chai that actually slaps, you're in the right place.

Student Finance

<p dir="ltr" style="">If you’re creative and imaginative, a degree in art could be just what you’re looking for to express yourself! Studying art in college can be a compelling experience full of creative opportunities. Once you graduate from art school, though, it can be challenging to figure out what career path you should take—while some art degree graduates try to find success selling their original works, others are passionate about applying their skills in different ways!</p><p dir="ltr" style="">One of the interesting things about studying for an art degree is the knowledge you end up gaining. Whether you choose to specialise in fine art or the history of art, the skills you gain during your degree are likely to be highly valued and transferable to many sectors, including specialised art careers as well as many other roles. </p><p dir="ltr" style=""><img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/28122022013704PM-Shutterstock_2151785711.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: auto; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top;" alt="Art Degree students" fr-original-style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib"></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="">What Can You Do With an Art Degree?</h2><p dir="ltr" style="">There are many career opportunities for those who earn art degrees, depending on the concentration of your degree! However, the majority of careers will require a portfolio to show some of your work and your original ideas. The theoretical side of your degree will also help you put that work in context and explain why you used certain materials and techniques! So, let’s see what you can actually do after you graduate with an art degree!</p><h3 dir="ltr">Professional Artist</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">The most obvious one! There is no reason why you cannot pursue a career as a professional artist if you have talent and dedication. Artists work with different mediums to create and sell original works. They mainly focus on painting, drawing, weaving, glass-blowing, and other mediums. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">Some artists also decide to continue developing their work while working a relevant full- or part-time job, such as that of an art teacher or tutor. The average salary of a professional artist is $47,343 per year. The majority of people earn between $36,876 and $54,500 per year. </p><h3 dir="ltr">Illustrator</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Illustrators use their creative skills to communicate ideas, stories, and messages to their intended audience. They work in various formats, particularly with computer-aided design (CAD) techniques. A postgraduate degree in fine arts with a specialisation in illustration should give you a good range of relevant skills to offer prospective employers!</p><p dir="ltr" style="">If you’re thinking of becoming an illustrator, you will probably have to work on a freelance basis for multiple clients and are likely to specialise in a specific medium, such as drawing, photography, or digital illustration. The average annual salary for an illustrator is $41,000 and can go up to $83,000 and more, depending on your skills, experience, and degree!</p><h3 dir="ltr">Photographer</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">There is a wide range of purposes and specialisations in photography, from weddings to advertising, photojournalism, and more. They work within industries like journalism, event production, and portraiture to take properly composed photos of people and landscapes. (Very interesting!) Some people also find it beneficial to have a Master of Fine Arts, specialising in photography, in order to better themselves! </p><p dir="ltr" style="">The average salary for a photographer is $46,054 per year. This can increase when you work more on your portfolio. You should make contacts, get your work published, and generally gain new skills and experience through opportunities like volunteering and work shadowing in order to gain new skills. Also, taking part in work experience and project work with photographers or relevant employers will make you more valuable as a photographer and therefore increase your salary.</p><h3 dir="ltr">Graphic Designer</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">A very interesting job, we know! Graphic designers work with clients and organisations to design materials for promotion and publication. They may create product illustrations, logos, web elements, flyers, and so much more! They are also responsible for creating design solutions that have a high visual impact. Graphic designers develop creative ideas and concepts, choosing the appropriate media and style to meet the client's objectives.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">A graphic designer's annual salary is $52,813 on average. This can also increase if you have specialised in design (or an aspect of design) in your degree and have mastered the skills required, such as the use of computer packages like Photoshop. You may also consider continuing your studies at postgraduate level with a Master of Design (MDes); this will help a lot! </p><h3 dir="ltr">Curator</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Curators design and build collections of art in galleries and museums, working out the best way to present an exhibition for the public, as well as raising funds and grants, collaborating with institutions or artists, and ensuring that collections are properly preserved! It is also safe to say that this field is a very competitive one.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">The average salary for a curator is around $54,030 per year. Of course, this is prone to change if you gain more experience and talent. It also differs according to the place where you work. You might consider a postgraduate qualification in a subject such as museum studies to increase your chances.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/28122022013812PM-shutterstock_640412065.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: auto; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top;" alt="Art degree careers" fr-original-style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib"></p><h3 dir="ltr">Art Teacher/Professor</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">If you want to use your passion and love for art to inspire others and encourage the development of budding talents, this job is definitely for you! Whether you teach at a college or a school, you will have to have a lot of confidence and excellent communication and presentation skills in order to effectively teach and inspire your students. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">In most countries, you will need a teaching qualification to teach at the primary or secondary level and a postgraduate degree to teach at the university level. An art professor's annual salary is $56,420, which can vary depending on experience, while an art teacher's annual salary is $47,665.</p><h3 dir="ltr">Printmaker</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Printmaking is an artistic process based on the principle of transferring images from a matrix onto another surface, most often paper or fabric. Traditional printmaking techniques include woodcut, etching, engraving, and lithography; modern artists have expanded the available techniques to include screenprinting. It is a very unique job that you don’t really hear about a lot! </p><p dir="ltr" style="">Following a degree in fine arts, especially if you specialise in design or illustration, you might find that printmaking is what you actually want to do. You also have to have a good understanding of the properties of the different materials used for printing. The average salary for a printmaker is $50,577 and can increase according to your experience. </p><h3 dir="ltr">Animator</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">An animator creates multiple images known as frames, which when combined create the illusion of movement known as animation! Animators might work on the visual effects team for a film or in advertising, television, or even video games! Over half of animators in the UK are self-employed. Animators create films for production companies, major animation studios, and computer-game companies. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">This is another competitive area, and, in this case, your portfolio would be in the form of a short yet effective showreel, a DVD, or an online portfolio video. The average salary for an animator is $54,390 per year. To enhance your employability, a postgraduate specialisation in animation would be beneficial, but this is not essential.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">If none of the above art careers appeal to you, there are still plenty of options available! You can work in anything if you have enough training and experience! So, you can always search for other fields where you find yourself more comfortable in! </p><h2 dir="ltr" style="">Frequently Asked Questions</h2><h3 dir="ltr">1. Is it worth it doing an Art degree?</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">The Bachelor of Art isn't just a good degree for starting a career; it's a great degree for starting almost any career! The worst-kept secret about the Bachelor of Art is that it’s one of the most enjoyable undergraduate programmes around. </p><h3 dir="ltr">2. Can you do anything with an Art degree?</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">There are many career opportunities for those who earn art degrees. Depending on the concentration of your degree, you may be able to work in industries such as arts administration, education, media, communications, technology, and more! </p>

It has long been one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in London.

It was originally named after its main thoroughfare (Knightsbridge), but it became more generally known as “Knightsbridge Square” or simply “Knightsbridge”. Kensington also comprises many stately Victorian buildings, most famously the Royal Albert Hall, which hosts concerts of all genres, from classical music to pop. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">Throughout the neighbourhood of Kensington, you will find iconic landmarks and institutions, including the <a href="http://www.nmnh.nic.in/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Natural History Museum</a>, the Science Museum, and the lavishly furnished Kensington Palace.

<p dir="ltr" style="">“Have you ever been to Melbourne? I hear they drink gallons of coffee every day!” We are sure you’ve heard something like this before if you ever mentioned <a href="https://www.casita.com/student-accommodation/australia/melbourne" style="">Melbourne</a>, along with other misconceptions about the people there or maybe even the weather! Every city has its myths and stereotypes that people believe in and sometimes act upon without knowing if they are true or not! </p><p dir="ltr" style="">So, whether you’re visiting Melbourne for the first time, planning on moving there, or you’re just curious about Melbourne, there are some myths that you should probably be aware of in order to avoid them! Australia, in general, and its people have a particular stereotype (as most nations do). Still, there are some myths that Melbourne specifically has! Let’s take a look at some of these myths!</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/20122022030340PM-shutterstock_1415081048.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: auto; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top;" alt="Myths You Should Know about Melbourne" fr-original-style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib"></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="">10 Myths You Should Know About Melbourne</h2><p dir="ltr" style="">Melbourne is the coastal capital of the southeastern Australian state of Victoria. It is known for being one of the most liveable cities on earth. It is often referred to as 'The Sporting Capital of the World'. The city is also famous for its graffitied laneways, excellent coffee, cultural diversity, and bayside location. So, what are things that the city is known for that are not true? We've heard all the stereotypes; here’s the truth about Melbourne!</p><h3 dir="ltr">1. Melbourne is very cold.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">It’s definitely not hot! But it’s not very cold either. Relative to a lot of the world, Melbourne actually has a pretty moderate climate. It’s even reported that they get hot more than they get cold, with the coldest recorded temperature only a piddling -2.8 degrees Celsius (still cold, but relatively not that cold). Other cities in Australia can get colder than Melbourne!</p><h3 dir="ltr">2. Everything is covered in street art.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Another very wrong misconception. Yes, Melbourne is a huge fan of street art. That doesn’t mean that every surface is covered in spray paint! Also, Melbourne has many art museums that can give you exactly what you need! There are also a few laneways and locations with that kind of art, but not everywhere! </p><h3 dir="ltr">3. Melburnians are rude.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Not true at all! Melburnians are some of the downright most friendly people in Australia. You will find strangers helping each other or people chatting about anything and everything. They always know how to have a good time! People will be more than happy to help you if you ever need something, and don’t worry; you are always safe in Melbourne. </p><p dir="ltr" style=""><img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/20122022030427PM-shutterstock_1094901527-(1).jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: auto; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top;" alt="Myths about Melbourne" fr-original-style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib"></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">4. People there always compare Melbourne to Sydney.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Whether it’s Melbourne or Sydney, both cities are amazing! They have many breathtaking landscapes and hidden gems that give each city its own vibe and make it unique! People living in Melbourne love visiting Sydney to enjoy the Sydney Opera House and many other beautiful places! In the end, both cities offer a fantastic lifestyle!</p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">5. There are no beaches.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Melbourne literally sits on a bay! So, there are several beautiful beaches that people visit and have the time of their lives. Yes, they’re not as rough and tumble as Sydney’s beaches, but many people prefer these softer, gentler shores. A huge plus is that Melbourne is a short drive from many beaches if you want to see some diversity! </p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">6. Melburnians are coffee addicts.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Okay, be honest; who doesn’t like coffee now? Melburnians like their coffee, that’s true, but that doesn’t mean they’re coffee addicts! This myth probably stems from the fact that Australia’s first espresso machines were installed on Lygon St in the 1950s, so it’s not really uncommon to see a queue of people waiting to use the coffee machine every day! But again, it’s good coffee! </p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">7. Melburnians only wear black.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Now, black is a colour that Mulbarnians wear a lot, but it’s not the only colour! And, in their defence, don’t we all love an all-black outfit every once in a while? The reason behind this stereotype is that Melbourne’s weather is usually cloudy, which gives more people the opportunity to wear black without worrying about the sun. </p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">8. Trams are the main form of transportation.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">When you say Melbourne, the image of a tram going through Melbourne’s CBD (central business district) immediately comes into mind! Melbourne has the largest working tram network in the world, but that doesn’t mean that it’s the only means of transportation or that they are used all the time! Trains and buses are frequently used because they’re quicker and, in some cases, even more accessible! </p><p dir="ltr" style=""><img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/20122022032254PM-shutterstock_717281407.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: auto; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top;" alt="Football in Melbourne" fr-original-style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib"></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">9. Melburnians are crazy about football.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Australian football, or ‘footy’, as they call it, is a huge deal in Melbourne, but it’s not all they talk about! You’ll be surprised to know that a huge percentage of men, women, and children prefer other sports like tennis, cricket, and netball! The reason why many people think everyone in Melbourne is crazy about football is that they get the whole day of the grand final of the AFL (Australian Football League) off! </p><h3 dir="ltr" style="">10. Hook turns are terrifyingly everywhere.</h3><p dir="ltr" style="">Yes, we know, hook turns are associated with Australia and especially Melbourne. It is also true that Melbourne is the only city in the world that legally uses hook turns, but it's certainly not the only city to have them, and they exist for a reason! Hook turns exist to prevent cars from impeding trams, and they're predominant within the Hoddle Grid. We understand the fear of the roads in Melbourne because of the horror stories you hear about them, but all of them are simply not true! </p><p dir="ltr" style="">One of the things that should never stop you from visiting a city you like is the stereotypes and myths surrounding it! You should always try and see for yourself because, most of the time, the things you hear turn out to be wrong! </p><h2 dir="ltr" style="">Frequently Asked Questions</h2><ol style=""><li dir="ltr"><h3 dir="ltr">What is Melbourne most known for?</h3></li></ol><p dir="ltr" style="">Melbourne is known best for its music, art centres, and museums. It is the cultural capital of Australia! The city has been ranked, year after year, the most livable city, and it's not hard to see why! </p><ol start="2" style=""><li dir="ltr"><h3 dir="ltr">Is Melbourne better than Sydney? </h3></li></ol><p dir="ltr" style="">Both cities are amazing and completely different! You will definitely not have the same experience in Melbourne and Sydney because of the diversity of places you can visit, the fun activities you can do, and the amazing foods you can eat! </p>

This Birmingham staple is a mix between cake and biscuit, as a modified version of the regular cake, which was too delicate to transport back in the day. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">Shrewsbury Cakes are now popular outside of Shropshire and are considered one of the top-ranked foods to try in Birmingham. The basic ingredients of this dessert include sugar, butter, eggs, and flour, with some variations of it being made with lemon zest and dried fruits. You can pick up a Shrewsbury Cake from any bakery around Birmingham and snack on it on the go! </p><h4 dir="ltr">2. Fidget Pies</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">Fidget Pies are said to have originated in the Black Country. This is a famous dish in the West Midlands area generally and Birmingham specifically. Fidget Pies get their unique name from their ingredients; they’re basically made of different types of meat that are minced together to fit inside a single pie. </p><h4 dir="ltr">3. Faggot Meatballs</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">Known as savoury ducks in the areas of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Lancashire, Faggot is a traditional meatball dish often served with peas and mashed potatoes. This unique Birmingham dish is said to have originated accidentally when a woman tried to make an Italian dish with minced beef. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">Faggot Meatballs get their name from originally being made using offal and fatty pieces of meat that needed to be used up before they went bad. This item can be found on the menus of several restaurants, pubs, and eateries across Birmingham. The best place to have Faggot Meatballs is said to be this historic pub on Price Street known as The Bull.</p><h4 dir="ltr">4. Pork Scratching</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">This is one of the UK’s most popular bar snacks, but its origins are definitely from Birmingham. This snack is made from deep-fried pork skin that’s lightly salted and served alongside crisps and peanuts at bars. </p><p dir="ltr" style=""><img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/05022023032055PM-18122022013435PM-shutterstock_706958239-min.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 400px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: auto; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top;" alt="Birmingham Food " fr-original-style="width: 500px; height: 400px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib"></p><h4 dir="ltr">5. Balti</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">Despite being a traditional Pakistani dish, Balti is ranked among Birmingham’s top foods that everyone should try. This dish is said to have been invented in Birmingham in the 1970s. While this dish is influenced by native Kashmiri flavours, it has a western twist to it. This curry with a twist is often cooked with meats like lamb or goat and is served in a flat steel Balti dish. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">This dish is best had at what is commonly known as The Balti Triangle. The triangle covers the areas of Ladypool Road, Stoney Lane, and Stratford Road, which are home to several restaurants that make the best Balti in Birmingham. Shabab is one of the top restaurants where you can have a delicious Balti. </p><h4 dir="ltr">6. Brummie Bacon Cakes</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">There is nothing more inherently British than having afternoon tea accompanied by some sort of cake or scone of your choice. In Birmingham, you have your afternoon tea with Brummie Bacon Cakes. These cakes are traditionally made with cheese and bacon for a crispy texture, with both Worcestershire sauce and ketchup being added to the milk. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">You can grab a Brummie Bacon Cake at any of Birmingham’s local cafes. The treat is made even better when you order it with a side of eggs like a true Birmingham local! </p><h4 dir="ltr">7. Birmingham Soup</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">Having been around since the late 18th century, Birmingham Soup is a combination of stewed beef and vegetables, typically served with a slice of bread that is still considered among the city’s best foods to try. On rainy days, Birmingham Soup has been compared to a warm hug from a loved one, a true Birmingham comfort food. </p><p dir="ltr" style="">The best servings of Birmingham Soup can be found at one of the city’s top fine-dining restaurants, Purnells, on Cornwall Street. If you happen to be on a tight budget or are not one for fine dining, you can still have a variety of modern renditions of Birmingham Soup at any local cafe. </p><h4 dir="ltr">8. Pikelets</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">Every country, and sometimes city, has its own version of the traditional pancake, Pikelets are Birmingham’s contribution to the pancake roster. This thin Birmingham pancake, which is cooked over a thin pan and left to bubble before it’s flipped to cook on the other side, is often mistaken for a crumpet. Pikelets are often consumed as a snack in Birmingham households, piping hot with butter for added flavour, and you can also get your share of them at any local cafe.</p><h4 dir="ltr">9. Groaty Pudding</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">This hearty meat stew is a Birmingham staple made with soaked groats (husks of various grains, including wheat, barley, and oats), leaks, and onions cooked overnight in rich beef stock. This dish is a dark porridge-like meal that is particularly popular during the winter months; it’s a warm dish to snuggle with on a cold night. </p><h4 dir="ltr">10. Doner Kebab</h4><p dir="ltr" style="">This originally Turkish dish is gaining more popularity in Birmingham in recent years and can easily be found in the city centre. Doner Kebab is such a budget-friendly meal that you can get and eat on the go as well; convenience and affordability in a bite! </p><p dir="ltr" style="">Doner Kebab, or simply just Kebab, is made of meat carved from a vertical rotisserie and then served in sandwich form, either in a wrap or stuffed in pita bread. To give the dish even more flavour, it comes with sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles, cabbage, and homemade sauces of your choice.</p><p dir="ltr" style=""><img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/18122022013716PM-shutterstock_2029284131.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: auto; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top;" alt="Why live in Birmingham " fr-original-style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib"></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="">Where Should You Eat in Birmingham?</h2><p dir="ltr" style="">Birmingham is home to an amalgamation of different food cultures, resulting in a vibrantly diverse gastronomic scene, and numerous cuisines for you to choose from when you’re in the mood for eating out.
