Food History

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

Alright Saxman. Getting with the program.

It took awhile putting a saxophone on there :D

What program do you use? I use Paint Shop Pro and it is pretty quick and easy to work with.

I have a busy day planned. Dance performance at the country club, brunch with the dancers, yet another corned beef and cabbage dinner (they seem to love to feed us that stuff just before we dance), then a concert pre-talk, then the Gaelic Storm concert. Maybe drinks after (no drunk driving).

 

Happy St. Pats all! :D

Bubble & Squeak

This sounds fun just for the name.

 

I'm afraid to ask what's in it...

Bubble & Squeak

 

Is a dish that is traditionally prepared on all Hallows Eve

from the leftovers of a boiled dinner.

 

According to the lore the Bubble & Squeak is caused by the Witches and Goblins trying to escape the fires of Hell.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

And...with apologies to the man himself:

 

Cache with me,

Caches before me,

Caches behind me,

Caches beneath me,

Caches above me,

Caches on my right,

Caches on my left,

Caches when I lie down,

Caches when I arise

My irish wife and mother in law have a corned beef recipe that rocks! Every year, we get Cape Clear soda bread and this righteous corned beef. (And a dram or two of Tullamore Dew)

 

(Now, if I could only think of a way to get out of work early, I could make it a dram or three...)

That is really sad. Did you have a passenger? It can be really scary watching that big car coming at you. I figure if you are on the forums you survived without too much injury. I hope the other guy had insurance. Do you have an alternate cache vehicle, or are you stuck for awhile? :lol:
