Okay, Here's one for my fine friends over in merry 'Ol England?
Okay, I might sound like a pathetically ignorant American, but I've been curious bout something for awhile now...
There's an English food dish.. I will probably spell it totally wrong, so forgive me, but we don't eat it over here across the atlantic. But I've always been curious as to what it was.
Bobble and Squig??
Anyone care to give me the correct spelling, and tell me what this dish is made of?
Always been curious. Just heard the name on movies, etc.. a few times.
Thanks!

Hey, Thanks!!
I'll have to try it. I'm a vegetarian, so I had been wondering not only what it was, but if it could be "transposed" to a meatless version.. LOL sounds pretty meatless allready
Cheers!! I'll fix it soon!!

I've also been getting cravings for "Bangers and mash" since watching a certain episode of "All Creatures Great and Small" where James Herriot's partner Seigfried and his brother are left alone to fend for themselves.. Seigfried makes his brother the official cook, but gets served bangers and mash at each meal LOL.. "I thought you could cook" "I can, I can cook bangers and mash!"
I'll have to find some veggie bangers LOL!!!

I think your spelling's *much* more attractive! :-)
It's "Bubble and Squeak", and its preparation is simplicity itself: equal parts (or whatever proportion you prefer) of left over cooked potato and left over cooked cabbage, mix up (or mash them if preferred), pepper and salt, fry in fresh butter until nicely browned. Serve hot and scoff. :-)
Hope this helps.
Ah quite the delicacy,
Bubble and Squeak
left over mashed potato and cabbage/greens and then reheated in a frying pan.
My family has it nearly every boxing day (26th Dec)! Delicious!!!!!!
After hearing it several times in different English movies it was driving me crazy, so I looked it up in a dictionary. It's called "bubble and squeak," and is cooked cabbage and potatoes fried together--often with meat. The origin is from the sound the mixture makes while it is cooking.
Hope this helps. Isn't watching British movies/shows fun?!
Now that we have sorted the "Bangers and Mash", and the "Bubble and Squeak" out, how about some "Spotted Dick" for desert ?

Bobble and Squig 4-ever!
you do know about
Squish and
Rumble Tumble
don't you?
Squish is marmelade and Rumble
Tumble is scrambled eggs ...
The one that has always scared me is, "Spotted Dick" which is really just Suet with Raisins in it ....... A Cold morning dish to raise the Body Temperature .......
First time a Waitress came up to my table and said, "A little Spotted Dick this morning???" I didn't know whether to check my Fly or run .......
