HISTORY OF BUBBLE
AND SQUEAK
An old English dish, named for the sounds the ingredients
make while cooking (or from the sound one's stomach
makes after eating it). Some sources say it was originally
cold boiled beef and chopped cabbage, others claim
it was
originally mashed potatoes and cabbage, while some
claim it originally contained all three. Today it
is typically made from leftover potatoes and cabbage
fried together.

* Finely chop the potatoes and crush slightly. In
a frying pan melt half the fat and lightly fry the
onion. Mix in the potato and greens and season well.
* Add more dripping or lard. Press the bubble into
the hot fat and fry over a moderate heat until browned
underneath.
* Turn the bubble over, add the last of the fat and
fry until the other side is browned.
