Geordie slang for food. Simple, practical, and instantly recognizable in Newcastle and the northeast of England. Scrawn covers anything edible — a full meal, snacks, whatever's in the fridge. It's the kind of word that sounds exactly right in a Geordie accent but needs explaining everywhere else. If someone from Tyneside asks if you fancy some scrawn, they're offering you food, not a fight.
"I'm absolutely hockney — is there any scrawn left?"
