Have you ever heard of Bubble and Squeak?

Question

I hear people from London have.

Answer 1

Bubble & Squeak is absolutely gorgeous.

As previous people have said it is usually made from the leftovers of a traditional British Sunday roast dinner.

It's main ingredient is mashed potatoes and then this traditionally is coupled with just cabbage mixed up and made into one large potato cake then fried in a large pan but really you can add whatever vegetables you have left, I personnally like a bit of carrot in mine and it's excellent if you add a little bit of chopped bacon or lardons to the pan before frying, really gives it a nice flavour.

The name Bubble & Squeak simply comes from the noise that is made when it is frying.

All good Bubble & Squeaks should have a nice burnt crust on the bottom too.

Bung a nicely fried egg on top and you have the ultimate brunch. :-)

Answer 2

No. But I looked it up:

Bubble and squeak (sometimes just called bubble) is a traditional English dish made with the shallow-fried leftover vegetables from a roast dinner. The chief ingredients are potato and cabbage, but carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can be added. It is traditionally served with cold meat from the Sunday roast, and pickles. Traditionally the meat was added to the bubble and squeak itself, although nowadays the vegetarian version is more common. The cold chopped vegetables (and cold chopped meat if used) are fried in a pan together with mashed potato until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides. The name is a description of the action and sound made during the cooking process.

Answer 3

Bubble and squeak is a mixture of cooked mashed potato and cooked sliced up cabbage and or brussel sprouts fried up together in a frying pan. Usually we would eat this on a Monday with bacon and pickled beetroot or tomato ketchup as the leftover vegetables would have been from the Sunday roast the day before. Absolutely delicious...

Answer 4

Yes this is a nice traditional Sunday Brunch or part of a Full English Breakfast! It's basically what you end up with after having roast dinner the day before or something! I usually have it as a fry-up where the vegetables are mixed with mashed potatoes and browned at the sides and put it next to some baked beans, mushrooms, eggs and sausages.
