In praise of.......Bubble 'N' Squeak

[ComedyPilot]

Need I say more?

Turkey, parsnips, carrots, potato, sprouts mashed and heated in a wok - covered in gravy.

This is about the only time of year that I make it, but my grown up daughters always look forward to it. We eat it with bacon and eggs. The trick is making sure you burn the top and bottom of the bubble and squeak patties.

If it's that good, people would be cooking up the vegetables to make Bubble and Squeak, not for the roast dinner.

We have two bubble 'n' squeak days a year, the day after Thanksgiving and Boxing Day. I'm slowly introducing Texas to the joys of bubble 'n' squeak and we have friends around each time and who come only for the food. It's getting to the point where I have to cook extra meat and veggies to make sure I have enough for the next day.

I cook mine with bacon in the bacon fat. Arteries quake in fear!

One of my favourite dishes. We add cheese to ours.

I used to have the vegetarian breakfast at a cafe up the road from euston station because it came with the best bubble. Used to add a sausage for good measure though

You just can't beat it with decent brown sauce.

I've just had my tea but you make hungry, I can smell it and the brown sauce. H.P. of course.

This is exactly what I do If iI fancy some bubble and there are no leftovers.

I cook extra cabbage and spuds especially for bubble and squeak the day after. The best "leftover" meal, however, was my grandma's stovies, which were done with a cast iron pan that probably dated from pre-WWI.

Mmmmmm! Stovies. Now your talking. With oatcakes = Heaven.
Bubble and squeak is also top notch. As stated earlier, you must burn the top and bottom. Add brown sauce for the finishing touch. I also like it with bacon and egg.

+1.

ooh, yes, Mum and I had bubble and squeak just this morning. Leftover sprouts, but potatoes cooked specially (there were none left over...)

Our addition, if it's the Christmas edition, is the chestnuts we mix in with the sprouts. They add a rather nice nuttiness and bite to it all.

We had it with a fried egg served on top - I do wish I hadn't accidentally fried my thumb in the process of cooking though....

Slightly OT, but I used to use a wok to make fish sauce when I overcooked the fish.

I am ashamed to say that the sauce was between a wok and a hard plaice

So you should be ashamed after a line like that
