Without looking it up, do you know what Bubble and squeak is?

[Pascha]

Bet it wasn't what I ended up with this morning with my cooked breakfast in town.
I was really disappointed.

Yep

Did you end up with a couple of guinea pigs?

Potato and cabbage is colcannon BTW (with or without bacon)

What did you get?!

I do any green veg like cabbage, leeks, or sprouts, with carrots and mashed potatoes (which could include leftover roast potatoes squashed in).

It's the frying and the crispy bit round the edges that turns it from colcannon into bubble & squeak.

yep ate it all the time as a kid

Boxing day heaven is what bubble and squeak is 😁

Left over roast potatoes and brussel sprouts mashed up and pan fried, with a fried egg and sausage on the side. With a dollop of HP. Absolutely gorgeous

I cook extra brussel sprouts so I can make it the next day 😊

Wonderful food!

Cooked cabbage and mashed potatoes refried into patties, ideally served with poached eggs on top

Yes

Of course. Been eating it for over 50 years. Wonderful food.

Our family puts any leftover roast veg in (bonus if it includes roast parsnips) and a bit of leftover gravy! Heavenly with lots of white pepper on it. So savoury.

Did you end up with a couple of guinea pigs?

Genius! 😂

Actually I've learned something - I thought it was fried-up cabbage and bacon.

Bloody love bubble and squeak with Tom sauce. My mum always made extra veg for Sunday lunch so we could have b&s on a Monday tea

i always have it with gravy and sausages on the Monday after a roast

Absolutely. It's hardly exotic. It's a fairly standard English dish, so I don't see how anyone could get it wrong.

What were you served?

Does anyone just make this with the intention of making it rather than using leftovers to make it. Does that even make sense???

It sounds amazing but I never really have leftovers!!

As above, cabbage and mashed potatoes, fried. What did you get?

I spread the chopped vegetable and potato mixture over the base of the frying pan into a large B&S 'cake' then fry it in beef dripping from the roast until crisp and brown underneath. Press it down well to make sure. Flip the whole thing over and brown the top side.

Serve with poached or fried eggs and a rasher or two of bacon for a perfect brunch.

Right MN...shall we place some bets on what the issue was?

I'm guessing that it had;

Peas
Sweetcorn
Mushrooms
Random herb like mint added

Or was fried in duck fat or something weird...

Or topped with cheese (though I'd love that!).

Lush. Can I have some please?

Yes. Was a regular when I was a child.

Mashed potatoes or mashed left over roasties and mashed veg. A little chopped fried onion gives it a bit more flavour. If we have it, it's with cold meat and pickles.

Yes! It’s something I cook now and again.

By coincidence I’m having it for lunch today.

We call leftover Sunday dinner fried, bubble and squeak.
