    Bubble and squeak is a British dish made from cooked potatoes and cabbage, mixed together and fried. The food writer Howard Hillman classes it as one of the “great peasant dishes of the world”. The dish has been known since at least the 18th century, and in its early versions it contained cooked beef; by the mid-20th century the two vegetables had become the principal ingredients.

    at least one guess from the menu was correct …. good luck with the others next time, Andy. If any next time is coming that is.

    Is it any wonder Andy prefers his beer?

    You want a full breakfast, go to one of your English restaurants.

    I was taught that a large breakfast in England was called a Full Monty…. from General Montgomery always having a large breakfast. I know it has a new meaning now because of a popular movie years back, but I think I’m correct on its origin.

    Not just “toast” but hard, cold toast that has been dried out on the toast rack. I found that inedible when I was there.

    She’s as good a cook as you are a provider, Andy. It all evens out at times.

    Having not grown up with the tradition, a full English breakfast always seemed excessive to me. The only times I’ve had an opportunity for one was in a hotel or a B&B. The hotels had a menu with alternatives but in a B&B I would ask for something simpler, like toast, juice, & black coffee, please. I was always pleasantly accommodated.

    Toast rack ~ one of the many new surprises for me upon my first arrival in the Queen’s land.

    Many moons ago, when I was about seven, my elementary school served hot lunch consisting of a hot dog (sausage?), sauerkraut, and instant mashed potatoes (ick!). The only way I could stomach any of it was to mix the kraut, which I hated, and the potatoes, which I also hated, together and then cut up the hot dog and use it as a makeshift scoop. Precursor to my love of bubble and squeak.

    When my wife burns the meal and the smoke alarm goes off, we know dinner is ready. She gets distracted with the TV while cooking. What’s Flo’s excuse?

    I just made bubble and squeak. It’s so freakin’ good! Make sure you have enough oil in the pan and make sure the oil is hot enough. It’s not cooking you can leave unattended while it browns or it will burn really quickly. Also, I used garlic powder, salt and black pepper. SO good!

    Bacon, eggs, sausages, and toast sound good, but I could do without the mushrooms. (Yeah, I don’t like mushrooms, you got a problem with that?!) I’ve never had bubble and squeak, so I can’t say whether or not it’s good.

    What I wouldn’t give to have a full English breakfast, in England of course, one more time. A true delight.
