Brassic and Baltic are to be heard in Norn Iron especially Belfast so possibly boating terms originally

Brassic is definitely not a boating, naval or maritime term.

Well itās common in Belfast which is not oop North and a flat cap is known as a duncher

Neither is London.

But both are ports with maritime folks bringing their vocabulary to land

Just my musings dear Fish - I am no expert I just try to come up with a common source for phrases on our archipelago
A fair few are nautical

Yes; but many are not, having an origin in the other preoccupation of people: the production of food on land, ie farming. Oh, and fighting on land: armies tend to have at least as much slang as navies.

Probably - I chanced upon it when googling gluten-free stew recipes. Unfortunately I copied it then navigated away. Iāll dig through the history to see if I can find the page again

My gut feel was that the writer meant āsome like it slow-cooked, some like it rareā or wtte.
