Here’s a dish I’d never heard of: Bubble and Squeak. I recently went to the Canteen, a restaurant around the corner which I really like, particularly since they serve my favorite meal, breakfast, all day long. Checking out the menu for a breakfast item, my eyes fell on this one: Bacon, fried eggs and bubble and squeak. What’s “bubble and squeak” I ask the waitress? Sort of a little cake with potatoes and kale (I think she said). I remembered for sure what it was a few days ago, but now all I remember is that it was a little fried cake that the bacon (ham) & eggs sat on and it was gooooooooood! And, oh by the way, if you didn’t know before, “bacon” in the UK translates as “Canadian bacon” to Americans. If you want American-style bacon, ask for “streaky bacon.” Yum!
Your post made me hungry. I was in the UK with three other AEDC guys in 1999 and I gained 10 pounds in a week...I reckon (hows that for English English?) 5 from breakfast and 5 from beer. I loooooove English breakfast, and the beer's not bad, either.
