Bubble and Squeak
Bubble and Squeak is a very common dish in England that is traditionally made from leftovers from previous meals, but is now also made fresh. It traditionally consists of mashed potatoes and mashed green vegetables, mostly cabbage or Brussels sprouts , both of which are mixed together and fried in a pan. Cold roast meat is often served as a side dish. A corresponding recipe is already contained in a Victorian cookbook by Isabella Beeton , but only as a vegetable puree with beef .
The name supposedly comes therefore that the ingredients (in the pan bubbles english bubbles form) and make squealing noises ( squeak ).

An Irish variation of this dish is called Colcannon and is also made of mashed potatoes and cabbage or kale , seasoned with onions , spring onions , cream or butter. Colcannon comes from the Celtic cál ceannann , which literally means "white-headed cabbage". One of the first mentions of this dish is found in the diary of William Bulkeley , who traveled to Dublin in 1735 . In the 18th century Colcannon became known in England, initially as a dish for the nobility, heavily seasoned with ginger . At that time, however, there was already bubble and squeak there .
