thoroughbred is another possibility....with a meaning more in the style of "cultivated", "real", "according to the generally accepted rules"...don´t know if this helps

Asker: I like pure bred. There must be so'thing more "human"? Pure-bred like pure-blood sounds animally... Rasecht is excellent in Dutch! Can you think of an equivalent in UK's


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Lianne van de Ven: pure bred (is for animals indeed) -> born and bred (and pure Americans these days is used by extreme conservatives as in "not pure because they marry other 'species')//yes, but we're translating here & "pure-bred" is not used: look e.g. pure-bred london
47 mins
  -> a what about the use of metaphores?...by the way; you would definitely use "rasecht" in NL....

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: I'm not quite sure whether being 'born and bred' (i.e. 'geboren en getogen zijn') in Mokum necessarily means that one has the spirit, lifestyle etc. that are typical for, in this case, 'Mokumers' ...

agree  writeaway: this is an idiom, like the Dutch. not a good idea to lose the register entirely by making the En too flat and ordinary. especially since it's actually a marketing text. http://amsterdam.mokumevents.nl/workshops/cursus-plat-amster...

agree  Kitty Brussaard: A true resident/citizen of Amsterdam (or 'Mokumse') and (...). IMO your translation comes closest to what is meant by the expression. It's about having the spirit, attitude and lifestyle that are (supposedly) typical for Mokumers.
