Tonight I cooked bubble and squeak for the first time. Mine did not look so great because I muffed the transfer from skillet to plate but trust me when I say that our English cousins invented the mother of all comfort foods.

I used the recipe below but a dear friend of mine who is the final word on all things English tells me that you can include anything you wish. This is what they cook when it is time to empty the refrigerator of leftovers.

Bubble and squeak with a cup of Wedgwood Earl Gray tea is sheer bliss.

And there is a reason the Brits are not considered gourmets. Id try it, but I've tried haggis and kidney pie.

Haggis is delicious, when well made. Every bit as tasty as boudin.

Yeah, that’s probably why there are so many Michelin Star restaurants in the UK. 155 one stars, 20 two stars, and 5 three stars.

Not saying every chef is British, I am betting many aren’t. But to say “the Brits are not considered gourmets” is antiquated and a bit ignorant.

Red beans and rice isn't exactly gourmet cuisine but you cannot say it doesn't taste good.

My wife is a Brit and really only makes it once a year on boxing day with the Christmas leftovers, it has everything under the sun in it.

The culinary standard in GB has changed dramatically in the last 20 years, I used to hate eating out there but now a days it is a pleasure esp with all the gastro pubs that have popped up.

MIL has always been able to throw down in the kitchen but is not a good general example as she was a chef instructor at the local college and I have learned quite a few things from her that are not Deep South staples.

I had a feeling I'd awaken the Brit lobby.

A year or so back, I posted a Scottish recipe for Tatties and Neeps.



Bubble and Squeak with Tatties and Neeps? Almost poetic.

Fair enough, I have a feeling you have never spent any time there.

Flyover country.

It’s hard to take them seriously when they let Mary Poppins name the dishes.

Mt. Snowdon/Snowdonia area of Wales, Scottish Highlands, Cumbria’s Lake District.....only some of the most scenic and storied landscapes on Earth. All packed quite close together & pretty easy to visit, plus absolutely excellent beer.
