Bubble and squeak is sort of like a thick vegetable pancake, made from cabbage, potatos, onions and bacon. You sort of cook the veg, then you dry pan fry it and it gets its name from this way of cooking as the pancake bubbles, and the cabbage squeaks under the heat.

<added> Karon, why do you ask? :huh:

That must be the upper-class recipe. I never got the onions and bacon!

Recipe for bubble and squeak.

Traditionally, it was a way of using up leftovers.

The name sounds like it would serve for something nicely in rhyming slang, like in that Rick James song.

"The girl's a bubble & squeak"

Karon, why do you ask?


It has evidently become popular as a chic "new" food here in the US. I have several friends who have gone to wedding receptions, gatherings, etc. and had bubble & squeak. They wondered what it was.

Thanks everybody!

Traditional English cuisine has become fashionable?? This is a sign of the end of the world, isn't it? :huh:

That's disturbing on oh so many levels. With the possible exception of Shepherd's Pie, there isn't much British cuisine that should be considered fashionable, trendy, or otherwise. ;)

That's true - it's all dominated by junk food and the mass takeaway companies. No where did they come from??? LOL.

Well the traditional dish in the UK was Fish n chips, it is now curry, as there are more curries sold than fish n chips. I on the other hand NEVER eat anything that comes out of the sea, based on my knowledge of what goes INTO the sea :thumbup:

Call me old fashioned, but all prawns do all day is hang around sewer outlets filtering what comes out, then we EAT THEM??? :doh: Not me.
