Wymondley Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Leftover roast tat's, cabbage and swede, fried in lard. Served with cold cuts of meat, sausages, cold stuffing and lashings of HP sauce. Monday night dinner in the autumn/winter, can't beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robden Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Leftover spuds and veg fried up. Fry in butter and let it catch, so as to get the tasty burnt bits. Plus, cold meat/s and pickles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Love Bubble and Squeak. My choices; Leftover potato (essential) Fried/softened Onion (essential) Leftover greens (cabbage, shredded sprouts, leeks, runner beans etc. as available), some essential Leftover other veggies as you like (swede, carrots, peas .... ) - if and as available Fried in beef dripping Salt and ground black pepper added Optionals: Sweet peppers, chillies/chilli powder, curry powder/garam masala/chaat masala, garlic, stuffing. Generally, if I have leftover meat/fish I reheat that separately, but some bacon or sausgages (sliced) but really then I don't think of it as "Bubble and Squeak" once it has meat in it.

islandgun Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Left over cabbage/sprouts chopped and added to potato, seasoned then fried in butter, topped off with a fried egg so the yoke soaks into the bubble when you cut it, breakfast, or dinner with a gammon rasher or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymondley Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 If you don't like spam fritters, you've not had them done properly. My dear departed Mother was the most wonderful cook... Spam fritters with thick crispy batter, bubble and squeak and the best cauliflower cheese I've ever had. When asked how she cooked things I couldn't replicate, her answer was "Oh I don't know dear, I just throw things in a pan". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonty Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 We have a bubble and squeak bag in the freezer. A large ziplock plastic bag that we put any leftover cooked veggies in over the course of a month or so, when the bag is full, it comes out of the freezer and it’s bubble and squeak night. I must admit that along with spuds, greens and parsnips, the occasional carrot and pea does make it in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaty bits (chopped up bacon, sausage, chicken, red meats etc.) are also nice - but I don't really see it as 'Bubble and Squeak' if there is meat in there. Topping of strong cheese grated over and the whole browned under the grill is also nice - but again not really 'Bubble and Squeak'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
